Handwraps in stealth

[evilnecros]

I was playing a ninja spy monk, only lvl 4, and ive noticed that the handwraps, when equipped, dont toggle me out of stealth on a hit. primarily when i attack, but it doesnt show the hit. this has only happened with handwraps. is this WAI do people know? i know that before this was working but the monk pass might have changed it.

Currently, as far as I can tell, you don't hit when you attack wearing handwraps from stealth.

You swing, but mob HP doesn't change.

maybe it's a 'Yer a ninja, use weapons silly' thing, I dunno

the hitbox for handwraps while stealthed is *still* completely and utterly borked. unfortunately. this makes my ninja assassin very sad indeed.

there was a thread on this at least a few months ago, I guess it is still broken

I noticed that I could not connect any melee attack from stealth mode while equipped with Handwraps. I first noticed it in a quest, but then I went to check on a Training Dummy on my guild ship. I tried with wraps, with no hit, no die roll, no miss showing. I then went unarmed, and was able to hit just fine. this needs to be fixed, as a monk that uses wraps will lose at least 40%-50% of the damage they do if they have to go unarmed to attack from stealth. it also means if they try with wraps equipped, they will have to either wait for the enemy to hit them to break stealth, or they must wast the time on manually clicking the stealth button (I know that it doesn't seem like much time is needed for this, but if an opponent lands an attack in that time on higher epic, legendary, or reaper levels, the monk is most likely dead or dying).

Ah, good news, I thought it was only with gnomes

I bug reported it, sent them a little video as well about a week ago.

(thats my monk trying to break a box in my sig)

Nope. I was on my Shintao, which is a drow. I'm just glad it wasn't only me getting the problem. I've had a couple of odd cases with my other main toon.

I just hope they fix this one, since it does affect gameplay quite a bit.
