Hiding no longer breaks provocation

[Jakaro]

Few months ago, if a bard hid, their monsters would stop fighting since the line of sight is broken. Now bards can hide and their monsters will keep on fighting. Makes it even easier to be a bard... which is a bad thing.

hard to hide while playing loud music irl, indeed. Might not be intended either, so good call.

I can't see this being bad for the economy nor helpful to the bard in terms of gold per hour though.

Never been that way that I can remember. I made a bard when I joined last year and could hide(hiding skill) after provoking while the mobs still fought. Using invis to hide always stopped provo from my experience.

Correct, i've had the same experience. This is one of the reasons I went with hiding on my bard template actually

Weird-- could've sworn it broke provocation in the past. Maybe only for me. Shenanigans.

Aye, it always helped when half the reds would just run by and not even think about a bard just hiding there. The other half that were smart enough to stop and use tracking usually never got me either. As soon as they stopped and used tracking, I hit the recall macro.
