Focus AIm breaking invis??

[PulsarBD]

I have a problem that bugs me a bit and i dont know if it is a bug or a feature:when i go invis during a fight and cast Focus Aim, my invis always breaks.When going invis BEFORE attack and casting Focus AIm i remain invisible.WHats going on? Can anyone explain this odd happening to me please?<div></div>

<P>The problem as I have seen it comes from the use of the stealthing ca.  The one that reduces agro and places you in stealth.</P> <P>If you use that THEN try to use focus aim it will pop you out of stealth.</P>

Make sure your hawk is not up also. While often valuable that bird breaks invis on each attack, so dont use it if you plan on a stealthed attack soon after.

<div></div>I can be in combat and use stealth and the focus aim without it breaking stealth. Where I have seen your problem is in a fight with a mob that casts an AOE. Soon as I get hit it breaks me out of stealth. I then have to wait for recast to stealth again.Also be sure you arnt in autoattack, any attack you cast will kick you out of stealth.Buaf  70 Ranger Befallen<div></div><p>Message Edited by Tobann on <span class=date_text>10-18-2006</span> <span class=time_text>09:54 AM</span>

Sounds like a bug as I always invis first then hit focus, that way I can usually get in two harder hitting CA's before focus runs out. The only time I've had invis break is when I either take damage, or I've forgotten that I was invis for a reason and accidentally cast the hawk.

<P>Once you are "engaged" in combat you can't use focus without breaking stealth.  If you are not in combat, then you can.</P> <P>The stealth+damage shots are too slow to be a good idea for Focus after joining combat, anyways.  You don't want to miss auto-attacks.</P>

<DIV>Always has done this, sadly. As has been stated above, if you're stealthed before you engage, you can safely hit Focus and remain in sneak. Otherwise you have to waste a couple of seconds with a Longblade or something to put you back in.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Something I find fun is starting a fight in stealth, then hitting Focus followed by Selection and Rain. Of course that does get me killed on occasion, but it's worth it to see all those pretty, big orange numbers.. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

sometimes i will not be in combat, but my group is and i will break my own stealth using focus aim; thus my combination attacks from there are broken.Otherwise stealth and focus aim seem to be working fine...<div></div>

Stealth is not broken by focus, Surveil is...<div></div>

i am not surveiled because i have been runnig around in stealth for probably the last five or so minutes.and im not trying to sound like a jerk.  Sorry if i am.  its hard to put real emotion behind simple characters<div></div>
