I totally agree... yesterday i was hunting with gpomal's hunter... he tracked 4 lvl 50 people behind us at 250m so we were getting away, 100m later we met a hunter who hindered us and eventually we got caught by those 4 dudes...

With old track realm enemy we wouldn't run into this... hunters can't even be good trackers anymore, it's stupid.

Tracking on higher levels is nearly usless, it takes away all mana. (My hunter can not use it efficiently) Make tracking cost less mana on higher levels and more on lower levels. (Tracking is often used on level 1

)

Uhm.....
180 Mana now on lvl 5, before the update it was about 400.

Tracking is now very cheap regarding mana.

Oh, they changed it? Wow, nice

But less mana on higher levels would still be nice :P (And ~400 Mana on level 1? =P)

Tracking functionality and reporting definitely needs some work. Something consistent and easily readable like:

You have cast Enemy Surv(5)
[100m] N: [Ignis] (1)m (2)w (3)a
[100m] N: [Syrtis] (2)a
[250m] SE: [Syrtis] (1)w
[350m] NW: [Ignis] (5)w (2)m

Mirroring the output in general chat or party chat would be nice too since I end up typing it all anyway.

+ 1

Did you notice that the pets run super fast when they are targeting an enemy now?

My pet caught a barbarian and killed him, even after the barbarian cast onslaught

I have not used any attack skills... just my pet and ambush..

Killed with just pet and running + heal pet:

lvl 50 knight (skin of beast + heal pet + dodge the knights attacks)

lvl 50 warlock (son of wind + beast wrath + heal pet = game over)

lvl 50 conjurer (ambushed and game over)

lvl 50 marksman (had no chance)

lvl 50 hunter (could not escape pet)

So, I guess new clan rule now? Use pets?

Just be careful when playing around with the pet modes - switching them in camo is ok. In Stalker, switching pet mode will cancel Stalker

I'm not sure if this has been said yet, but...

With the pet command bar it is possible to send your pet out of camo to attack someone even if you don't leave camo yourself. It is very useful to suprise someone with Skin of the beast on the pet.

Your pet doesn't appear until he's already at the enemy, attacking him, and then you come out of camo too, but by then your pet has already landed an attack or two on your unfortunate target, combined with your own bonus damage or Ambush. You could also hide behind an object instead.

Just make sure you aren't in combat mode and use the first button (Attack).

Regards.
