Scout's Cheap Shot is Missing

[Xaana]

<div></div><div>Cheap shot is a two second stun that all scouts received around lvl 5.  AFter tonight's patch the skill is missing from everyone's knowledge book.  There was no mention of it being taken away in the patch notes, so I would like to know if this is a bug or if it is intended. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>This is the only stun that many of the scout classes receive so without it we have no way of using all of our flanking attacks while not in a group or while tanking. That's 1/3 of my attack arts.</div><p>Message Edited by masburrito on <span class="date_text">03-07-2006</span><span class="time_text">02:19 AM</span></p>

<div></div><p>Ouch, you are right.  Just checked Kaellor, my ranger.  No cheap shot.</p><p>Hope to Karana that it is unintentional.</p>

<div></div>Ditto for Onoli.. 35 Ranger.. Cheap shot is gone from knowledge book and my hot button is greyed out.. I HOPE this is a bug and not an intentional removal.

<div></div>If there is a reason for this please do not implement removal of this spell until you have spells to replace or add to the scouts arsenal.  The duration of the stun is just long enough to get behind and use one rear attack...Without the rear attacks in a solo environment, the scout looses a huge amount of dps. I practiced this today on greens.  These are mobs that dont drop anything useful for me but quests updates and I have to really work to kill them. I can imagine blues and even cons will possibly not be worth the effort. I am 56, and the new expansion is marketed for my level. If I cannot kill the solo mobs, then it is mistake to market the expansion for characters as low as 56.  Solo mobs are for...soloing. I have a hard if not impossible time with Yellow cons, and cannot do oranges. That seems balanced. If spells are not replaced to make up for the lack of use of the rear attacks, then the game is quite damaged for the scouts.None of the mob specific Sinister Strike Spells will be usable by a solo scout without Cheap Shot.  These spells are already more powerful for just about every other class.~Eva<div></div><p>Message Edited by Evadne on <span class="date_text">03-07-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:09 PM</span></p>

Is THAT why I cannot solo anything above grey with even a single ^?  I've only used Cheap Shot to advance HO's.  I never reposition myself while soloing.<div></div>

<div></div>Yes by using cheap shot it will stun the mob long enough for you to get behind and do your dang for at least one hit ..if you are lucky or real fast you may get 2 hits <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

Wow... kind of glad I can't log in from where I am this week.  No Cheap Shot = no Assassin soloing.  The end.  <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
