Sneak Pulling

[Doil_Boil]

Just got back to the game after a long absence, and it kind of seems like sneak pulling doesn't work the way it used to. I can get a successful sneak off, have both mobs facing away from me, and tag one and they both aggro. Was this patched?

yes it was patched, it separated the good monks from the dps monks. they will social pull now even when sneaking

This was patched last year

Seems like that makes it awful hard to split some mobs.

Its more frustrating but not hard. The key to splitting mobs now has to do with their wait period before they path back to their spawn point. For example you pull it off their spawn point and then FD. The mob then has a 'wait period' in which it will start to path back to its spawn. The 'wait period' is random, but it's the key to getting a successful single pull.

It's pointlessly dumb and non-classic, just like the pbaoe cap.

You could sneak pull in classic?

The main issue I have is when the mobs walk back, they walk back too close together. I don't ever remember having that issue on live - you didn't even have to sneak pull. The mobs would walk back far enough apart that you could grab a single.

There's a bug report for how sneak should function properly. Who knows if/when they will decide to patch and fix it. It's pretty rough pulling as a monk if you don't have beads now.

Pull mobs. FD. Wait for all mobs to walk back and reset, but stand up before the last mobs resets at his spawn point. Stand up and all mobs come running back. FD again and the mob that never reset will stay, while the ones that reset will start walking back instantly. Wait for them to reset again and stand up.

It takes a little longer then before the nerf, but not much.

You can thank the old Chardok AOE crowd, bless them.
