Sneaky takes hide away too soon.

Whenever i use sneaky attack while I'm using hide, it un-hides me a second before my sneaky hits. It causes the mobs to hit me before i get a hit in. Although this is a mild issue, it is pretty annoying. I am using a quartz dagger. (atk speed 2260)
I think that the hide should be removed, when a hit is landed not when it is starting to cast.

I noticed that too on my low level Rogue. I didn't feel like it was a terribly big deal though, because it doesn't count it as being targeted, and still let's me actually get the sneaky attack in

Yeah I posted a bug in beta about this about a month ago. I guess it got deprioritized. The mob shouldn't aggro until the sneaky lands, doesn't make any sense to have the hide drop beforehand. I hope this gets rechecked out.

This only happened to me once, before the update though. I hide then went to sneaky and it took hide off before the attack and I was targeted before I could attack... After that I thought no point in wasting points in the hide ability.

Yeah, I've had this problem for absolutley AGES. I'm using an ancient langsax, and instead of using hide and walking up to my target, I select it out of aggro range and use sneaky, causing my toon to run up to the target and cast sneaky regardless of whether I get hit. Or maybe it casts while I'm running :lol: I aint playing while posting so I'll have to check back with that later.

I hope this doesnt mean when I get my quartz daggers that it wont work :? :)

Thanks for feedback

I've asked for this to be changed so the hide is only removed after the damage comes off the skill instead of at the start of casting.

I'll let you know when I hear back.

Thanks!

Ive noticed this as well... But only when i click sneaky and before sneaky hits u click auto button, for me if i wait until sneaky lands and then hit auto works fine for me
