I like prowling a lot, as it can be convenient to sneak past things, look at my quest log or regain a little health while in relative safety, but it can be difficult to time attacks properly. So, Ravage is pretty nifty but I notice a few things happening fairly often. Mobs have this pacing thing going on, as if they all have the fidgets and just when I sneak up on one, it will move. Or even though I am right on top of it (or so it seems) I can't hit it.
Moving in stealth is slow, so I target my creature and sneak up ever so slowly...my right hand clutching the mouse...moving soooo slow, my left hand poised above the 7 key (7 is my ravage key, lucky number 7), ready to smash down and blam.:
"You need to be behind your target'
"You are too far away" (range bug?)
It's frustrating. I guess my post is a bit gripe-y, but I am wondering if this is just me being a noob or do other people experience similar issues? Any tips or suggestions on how to attack better or should I just not even bother and keep prowl as a sneaky getting around mechanism only?
* edit *
I see that Pounce is available at level 36 ( I haven't had much time for my druid, still only level 35). I recall people mentioning Pounce as being a very good ability, but I'm hazy on the details.
I'm beginning to think I am just too clumsy to be effective at attacking from stealth.
