Damn Mauriac, was that 3 hib's on you on that screen shot you posted Sorry bro, been there before and it is certainly frustrating.

I do remember on classic being able to crit shot a moving stealthed target, it just didnt happen very often till we got access to Mastery of Stealth. It was very difficult for ranged stealthers to find assasins unless one came close to us while we had camo up, the shot probably wouldnt have worked. It wasnt that it wasnt implemented, its just the RA settings didnt really allow for much crit shots on assasins because you wouldnt see assasins till they were almost on you.

I understand what you are saying about PA having its issues, and your right. The reason I brought it up was to show you that every crit shot we attempt has a 20% chance to uncover us while we are pulling back. Ask Goemon how many times I was pulling a crit shot on her, became unstealthed, she seen me and went out of stealth detection range b4 the shot went off. Or even worse, the shot does go off but since they are out of my stealth detection range it doesnt hit them AND it takes away my camo. If you do have a targe running towards you and you do manage to get off a perf it cant be blocked, bubbled, or anything. It just goes off and thats it. Our Crit shot is about as hit and miss as it gets.

Yah, your MoS 2 with Detect hidden is about equivaltent to somewhere between MoS 3 and MoS 4. If my camo is down and you hear my bow, you should be able to see me no problem since I only have MoS 4. Part of the reason you may not be seeing me is that you are moving. When you move around your stealth detection is not quite as large as it is when your sitting still. To be fair, when my camo is down I run w/ my slow bow on rapid fire so you wont get but 1.7 sec to find me b4 I start shooting.

Agreed on point 5. They are 2 different abilities, but if there is s shield or pet out then most bow rangers wont even attempt it since bow will just either be blocked or they will send a pet on you.

Never heard about that bug, but that is messed up if you dont see us till after the 2nd arrow. That might explain the rare (and fun) occasions where a assasin starts running around and lets me kill him w/out using any mele. Maybe they cant see me.
