Auto Stealth proposal

#1 Post by gogis »

Is it possible to make basic stealth talent to be auto-activated whenever possible? I can't picture in my head any occasion, when i do not want to activate it whenever it's ready. I seriously rage-deleted my several stealth heavy rogues just because tap-resting-till-stealth-ready drove me insane. Cmon, this game is all about "no tedium please" (which i really like) and still have one major annoyance.

Just make it passive talent with cooldown for reactivation maybe?

If auto-stealth is adopted we would have to make activating stealth by instantaneous (no energy). Otherwise there may be situations where you prefer to keep running rather than lose a turn.
<DarkGod> lets say it's intended

Indeed. Stealthing isn't free as far as action costs are concerned and I'm not sure that it should be. On the other hand it's not exactly overpowered so maybe making it zero energy would help it be more useful.

It's actually not a big problem. No stamina - no stealth, rest please. I am much better to manage it once in several minutes glancing on my stamina, than watching stealth cooldown religiously every 10 seconds. My eyes literally starts to bleed after half of a hour.
Dont forget, that you can simply Shift+R stuff with any other class and run around happily, while with rogue you always tap resting every brawl because you dont leave home without stealth.

If you are literally bleeding from your eyes, see a doctor. That sounds painful and potentially life threatening.
I was literally kidding to get more attention and faster implementation :)
