Ever since the most recent update it seems my cheap shot doesnt stun the target long enough for me to get in a stealthed attack. Is this intentional or is there a bug with this. If anyone has any info about this Id appreciate it. Buaf 26 Ranger Faydark <div></div>

Cheapshot was changed. It is now 6 second without interupt on a non-heroic. Anything heroic gets a 2 second stun that is borken 100% of the time if the mob takes damage.

Man I was in COB and the non heroic beetles were only getting stunned 2 seconds as well.Means I cant use my stealthed attacks much when solo now, too bad. Buaf <div></div>

Well one ^ mobs are also 2 sec. So technically it's only the full 6 sec on non-Heroic non ^ mobs.

That explains a lot - thought my timing was just way off as the heroic^ mobs I was hunting for the Dragoon Heritage kept un freezing so fast. I read the details pre LU16b as well. Doh!

Is it my poor memory or is it now 2 seconds regardless of the target? <div></div>

I didn't have any trouble last night in PoF working on no ^ and down arrow solo mobs. I could easily Cheap Shot, back up and get at least one (sometimes 2) ranged CAs in.

<DIV>I still get my stealth attacks off.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I cheap shot, stealth, and then shadow strike. Works fine for me, maybe stealth or other stealthed attacks take long in the later levels.</DIV>

As far as I can tell any non ^ mob will get stunned for the full six seconds, and ^ and above mobs get two seconds which breaks very easy. Nul. <div></div>

I'm still getting the full 6 seconds on non ^ mobs.  I'm seeing the same thing as Nuladen.
