Sneak Pulling

[fastboy21]

Just my quick 2 cp on a topic that is already beaten to death many months ago...

1. I recall folks talking about sneak pulling on live. I have no memory of actually doing it myself or seeing it done. There is very little chance of determining when precisely it worked, exactly how it worked, or when it was removed. The posts people drudge up don't really help the Devs to answer those specific implementation questions.

2. I never recall sneaking while FD dropping aggro on mobs (that otherwise would have had aggro). I never heard of this ability until playing a monk on p99.

3. The way mobs path back is important to legit FD pulling. The way mobs path back on p99 is not classic as I recall it. On p99 it has to do with direct vs indirect aggro. I didn't main a monk on live, so I simply don't have the anecdotal information to know if this is correct.

Over all, I thought the FD/sneak changes actually improved my utility as a monk regardless of the classic status of the change. Sneak pulling allowed multiple classes to pull and break difficult camps with little risk or effort. Removing sneak pulling made monks needed for those pulls (allbeit the pull itself would be harder to do now). As I said this has nothing to do with classic or not. I'm simply reflecting on the feel of the change for me on p99.
