Had a bad night adventuring tonight.Discovered in the Bonemire as Kella (61 Assn) that Cheap Shot would not longer land on any mob. At all. Ever. The reuse timer would go off but there was no mention of it in any way in the spam/log, and nothing happened to the mob. These were all orange and yellow mobs -- no arrows -- so I thought, "maybe it's me."So I went off to the Barren Sky, and duoed with Pondscum (63 SK). There, on 62-64 v and vv mobs, discovered that on them, Cheap Shot would land, but be ineffective. While the green swirlies were circling mobs' heads, they would auto-face me. Well, peachy, isn't it. Mobs automatically turn to face me no matter where I go. Now <i>that's</i> effective for a class that has 90% of sltealth, positional, and stealth-positional skills. Problems with Cheap Shot and with Deathly Blade (Master II) seemed to reveal a deeper problem: there is a set of skills that simply does not EXIST when you use it against yellow mobs. Pond and I were both parsing tonight, and each of us had a set of skills that reset their reuse timers when clicked, but that simply didn't do anything. They aren't in the log as missed, parried, blocked, resisted, or failed. They just aren't in the log at all. And Cheap Shot's one of those. And until it does something again, I simploy don't solo, which makes me sad. <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>
