Back again with more questions. My rogue is lvl 35 combat swords (also bringing up a lvl 15 undead rogue as well). After getting murdered by rogues doing my dailies on my lock and priest I decided I really need to learn how to do this.
Went out to STV. Having the following issues when I try to get mobs(humanoids) from behind:
1. They turn as I'm sneaking up on them from behind. Pulls me into combat before I can cheap shot or sap them.
Mobs are my level or a bit lower. So tried using distract. They still would turn 99% of the time before I could hit them first.
My questions are: Does not having any points into sub make this harder to do?
Is it possible my character is auto-attacking when in range?
Are there mobs where you just cannot cheap shot from the rear?
Is the position you attack from have to be directly behind them, or can you be slightly off to the side?
Does this work differently on players than mobs?
Is there anything else that might be contributing to this up to and including the fact that I suck?
The mobs I was trying this on are the ones in the Kurzon compound, casters and warrior types. Basically what I ended up with was waiting for CP generation then using gouge or kidney shot, which wasn't what I was aiming for.
Thanks in advance.
