Stealth and Silent Blade

#1 Post by Tom »

What exactly does it mean 'stealth is not broken', when using the blade?
Will all the attacks I do be 100% critical if I have Shadowstrike?

If the target have friends close, will he tell them my location (unless the 10% silence hits)?
If he does, does that affect my stealth?

Do orcs (for example) tell snakes my location?
Or is it only same kind of creature that recives the information from an orc?

Can any attack I recive break stealth?
Or perhaps even all of them?

In Dreadfell(9) I now have the whole floor after me it seems.
Im teleporting like mad (one infusion and a teleport amulet 60/120) back and forth.
A dreadmaster and a couple of dreads are tracking me and coming after me all the time I try to catch breath.

Still no sight of The Master though which is the only positive about this floor.

But having seen me, it seems every monster see me again when I sneak around.
Do they?
Or have they lost track once I teleportated away and returned many moves later in stealth?
It does not seem so from my point.

I plan to swap to Silent Blade in case it helps me keep stealthed, but maybe they tell eachother as soon one is attacked so that I really should not.

Silent Blade means a regular attack from it won't break stealth, so you can keep getting those auto-criticals. However a second weapon equipped *will* break stealth, as will other actions like using talents.

Teleporting away should make other monsters lose track of you, apart from bosses and those annoying dreads.

Do they reveal my position to other monsters?
