Tracking!

Mic · 05-07-2007, 10:21 AM

So ladies and gentleman.. We all know what tracking does its one of those does exactly what it says on the tin!
But? What use is it within the thief template? I have seen some people only put 5 or 10 skill points into them so are their any benefits to have 5 compared to 100?

Thoughts?

Cheers!

It adds extra damage to your deathstrikes

People can on mounts can outrun you stealthing in wolf form. Tracking helps you track them.

Thanks both of you, I also made a similar topic on your forums chad. What about skill wise, Difference from say 5 - 100?

I find that, using JOAT tracking, I am able to track fewer people less reliably. I don't have any hard statistics to back that up, however.

Chad - care to weigh in? I don't think there is anyone with more credibility than you (on this issue!)

Either 20 or GM. You're either tracking people with hiding/stealth or you're not.

Touche. Of course, if you live by 'the code' you won't be interested in most of the people with hiding/stealth anyhow...

Actually, on Siege, most crafters have hiding...hell, for that matter, most players have hiding. Track and detect will actually create more marks for a thief since people think they are safe to walk afk while they are hidden. That is also a good thing since they can't hit their "GUARDS" macro...la
