Stealth Now Useless?
With the February 26 update changing stealth to no longer reset monster aggro table; has stealth become useless versus all but players?
I ask this because earlier today I was working on dailies in a border land. Krait Island was grey so I decided to hit it. This would yield several kills and a veteran. So I did my usual jump in the middle, drop caltrops, lay down poison field, and proceed to dagger storm. This usually drops half and leaves the rest except vet bleeding and poisoned enough to quickly finish off.
A preponderance of Necro wells left me past half health so I hit a smoke cloud and stealthed. The vet and four others gave chase. I dodge rolled, went behind a wall and pillar, hit shadow refuge to extend stealth and heal. They continued to use range attacks, chase, and the vet even used his ranged kd all while I am in stealth, dodging, and hiding behind blocking terrain.
So I ask again if mobs can chase, attack, maintain aggro, and basically see a stealthed character is stealth even viable now?
