Actually it's not that they are immune.. the stun from Cheap Shot wears off as they take dmg / get hit.. if the mob is Heroic you only get 1 hit.. if it's non-heroic but ^/^^/^^^ you get more then 1 shot, but it can break at any time.. Best solution if you have no other choice is hit cheapshot and while it's charging turn off auto-combat so you can circle around behind them and use shrouded strike to go into sneak then hit with one of the backstabs (master strike, or sinister strike, etc.. ) depending on what's not on timer and what will do most dmg in your case.. Only time I have a problem with it breaking to soon is if I'm not solo and someone else is beating on the guy as I circle.. And let me tell you.. there is nothing more satisfying that pulling 2 or 3 ^'s or ^^'s and pulling off the cheap shot / circle behind / shrouded strike / skeleton masters strike and see it hit cause you timed it just right to not get hit while in stealth by the other 2 or 3 in the group that aren't dead yet SMILEY

.. almost makes me wonder why everyone doesn't play a little sneaky scout :smileyvery-happy: -TW
