I use sneak constantly both on green and blue. to complete quests, vendor, check if I have aggro on mobs, set up pet pulls, sneak around like VP or whatever as intended, or just chillaxing out max and turning on walk while sneaking so it looks like im doing the Robot. one time on Blue I did the Fiery Avenger quest even though i'm max KOS to some of the quest mobs just because i killed their god like 50 times, and not a paladin.

imo it's an insanely powerful ability that puts all the lesser races in their place.

Sneaks benefits, although not utilized much were detailed in many of these posts (passing certain mobs like in SolB, merchants, bow pull). Hide I saw the AFK stuff, but on a cursory scroll, didn't see mention of:

Hide on pull for Clerics and Druids.

Often especially in mid level dungeons pulled mobs will jump the healer due to sit aggro. The most pro Halfling priests Hide on pull to avoid this. It's also terrifying. Can't tell you how many times I freaked out that Holyfeet bailed on us in the middle of a group session.

Also: Halfling master race! Fun fact; Halflings were already favored because of Hobbits, but the 5% exp bonus was meant for HUM and was mistakenly given to HFL. Early manuals and guidebooks were printed stating Humans as having this bonus and Halflings not due to this, but they decided to never correct. Pras!

Entertaining to me that OP appears to think that hide/sneak on EQ works like stealth in WoW. Hide and Sneak in EQ are binary, on or off. Hide is also IVU for rogues only, but still binary. Any character (other than rog kinda) that is hidden is exactly as well hidden as any other character.

Hide cap of 50 isn't perfect, but it often works first try and would be unusual to fail more than twice.

So yeah, it sitll works for breaking charm.
You're getting half XP from the uncharmed mob then [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Of course, the worst part is that if you're not a rogue you can't hide & sneak at the same time.

Hide was nice when it worked against undead for non rogues.

switched to only work vs living which is sad but I believe correct.

It was super OP back when it applied to undeads... and you could test your own hide success... and being hidden while FD guaranteed a full aggro wipe. That was nuts by itself, never mind the ridiculous pulls it allowed.
