I assume that there is a certain line of sight distance right? It’s not just if you’re in any enemies peripheral vision you get spotted is it?

#42

I hope you have to be in a certain range of someone’s FOV because if marquis can just stand on his little nest in overgrowth and see you from anywhere that would make his stealth very difficult to utililize

#43

You would just need to duck behind cover for a moment to get the effect.

#44

Isn’t that the way it always worked? You don’t show up on the enemy’s map until they have you on their screen. It shouldn’t be too hard to duck behind something and cut off their line of sight, even if it’s just for a split second (if that’s the way it works).

My take on Pendles’ Stealth: it’ll have a timer, but probably NOT a cooldown.

Passive - Pendles’ cloak activates when out of line-of-sight of enemies. Pendles’ movement speed increases while cloaked, but decreases while uncloaked.

So suppose it’s 6 seconds (arbitrary number). He’s out of LoS of enemies, it cloaks him. 6 seconds later, if he’s not able to be seen by enemies, either he never uncloaks or he just blinks in and out super fast.

I’d say this would be a fair way to do it, because you can’t just linger in Stealth or go on no-attack shard stealing runs forever. He’d always have 6 seconds to set up his initiation, and he’d be able to Smoke Bomb to get 6 seconds to evac. (Again, 6 seconds = arbitrarily selected number.)

#46

I’d assume it would work like this I would hope so since getting in an enemies LoS would happen fairly quickly if it just deactivated on detection

#47

I think whether or not it lasts indefinitely depends on how much his movement speed is reduced when he uncloaks.

#48

Plus, having something that makes you invisible until someone is looking at you is kind of stupid.

I suppose I wonder what will happen if he’s attacking in a place where he can’t be seen? I mean, suppose he’s hacking big shards with no enemies around? Does he swing, uncloak, cloak, swing, uncloak, cloak, swing, etc.?

If he’s got any kind of display or sound for his cloaking, that kind of spamming could get REALLY annoying really quickly.

Maybe a cooldown on his passive cloak. Once he uncloaks, he can’t re-cloak using it for 3 seconds or something, but he could re-cloak using Smoke Bomb in case an attempted attack goes wrong really quickly, like missing the lead-in-Injection.

I assume it’ll work like deandes where if she attacks she uncloaks

#50

He literally has a Burst Dash that slows and DOTs. Looks like she might be pushed out for a while.

That’s a really good question. I know I wouldn’t want to hear OM’s cloak turn on and off 50 times.

@epicender584: To be fair, he can’t dash without a helix and the other one gives him a lot more damage for his smoke bombs. He also can’t stun people like Deande.

#52

That is true. He’ll be extremely damage dependent.

#53

Basilisk, Weeping Angel, and sassy slithering sociopath… that seems to be the awesomeness that is Pendles.

I wonder if there is a range component to Corner Sneak. While it’s a cool passive, if all it takes is someone just looking in your general direction it’s going to be limiting to a degree (though I don’t mind a challenge). PvE is where I’m most worried about the passives use. Overall, it’s just going to be about pumping as much damage into Injection as possible.

I’m also curious about how he re-enters stealth after being detected. Is it instantaneous or is there an internal cooldown? There’s also his passive causing his movement speed to slow down once detected. I’m wondering how that’ll impact the gear I choose for him.

#55

His cloak sounds stupid. What is the point of cloaking if it only works when no one is looking at you? If no one is looking at you then you don’t need a cloak.

Pretty sure it activates as soon as no one (presumably meaning “no enemies”) is looking at him and remains until he attacks or otherwise deactivates it (which makes sense since, if you’re cloaked, no one can see you, which is kind of the point).

Wait, are you agreeing with me?

#58

The cloak activates automatically when Pendles is outside of line of sight of enemies.

It does not deactivate until he attacks or uses a skill.

He can also activate his cloak even when in full sight of enemies by using his Smoke Bomb skill.

#59

His cloak would be better if they made it an active ability with a similar animation to Galilea’s Abyssal Form and allowed him to be cloaked while seen and moved the Injection ability to his passive and tone down the DoT it would do.

#60

I still don’t think you understand how the skill works, let me illustrate it more plainly:

Pendles is standing in front of Oscar Mike, in full sight. He steps to the side, behind a rock, which hides him from Oscar Mike’s sight. This causes his stealth to activate. He then steps out from behind the rock, and is in front of Oscar Mike again, still stealthed. He will stay this way until he uses a skill or attacks. For his stealth to activate again after this, he has to either go behind the rock again, or use Smoke Bomb.
