Game Mechanics: Sneak and CoS Pulling (Monks/Necros/SKs)

[Treats]

Sneak Pulling on P99

Monk

Monk aggros mobs
Feigns Death and waits for them all to turn their backs
Performs a successful Sneak and instantly clears hate list on every mob

Necro/SK

Necro/Sk aggros mobs
Feigns Death and waits
Necro/SK Hides and instantly clears hate list on all mobs


For Monks it should not work like this. The only chance you have at clearing aggro from all mobs is if and ONLY if your Feign successfully blurs each of them. Sneak only reduces aggro range, it DOES NOT act as a mem blur if you allready have aggro.

For Necros/SKs it should not work like this either. After you have pulled a bunch of mobs and then Hide it will only drop aggro on all mobs if you successfully blurred each of them with your feign.

There is a good read here on Monkly Business and how it works. Never once is it mentioned that you can aggro a bunch of mobs and then feign and sneak to drop all aggro on the first try.

Autumn, what he said was sneak, then stand up from the feign and con the mob going back. If it's indiff, it memblurred. If it glares/scowls (assuming it's not an always scowls mob), it's time to hit the dirt.



I use this all the time. The sneak isn't memblurring you, the sneak is checking if you memblurred.



On lvl31- mobs (It's 32+ that don't always memblur, not 35), you can sneak and stand up as soon as they turn around to go back, saving you a little time.

Zenthan, I really like the idea in you post but I don't think it confirms a successful Mem'blur. Much as an inviso cast on someone FD doesn't remove them from the hate list. That one ( the inviso while FD to distance agro pull ) I have played around with and has been a great long distance pull method. ie argo roamer, have someone outside agro range inviso you, get up run and then drop inviso and mob is off like a shot after you ( with old world agro, Kunark and Veli agro has the lazy arse mob factor as I call it, things that are still agro'ed on you but won't waste the energy to beat on you unless you get back into a decent range where they don't have to run as far ).

I believe in another thread here someone also said that Evade was completely clearing all damage, it should not be like this with that skill either.
