Bug: Infinite Stealth Attacks on Target Dummy

DDuke

Before you ask: no, this does not appear to be reproducible on players or NPCs. From all the testing I've done, it only seems to work against target dummies, though some testing still needs to be done.

How to reproduce the bug:

1. Equip Dual Wield weapons (this does not work with other weapon types).
2. Make sure your weapons don't proc any effects (i.e. enchants or poisons). Poisons sort of work, as you can get several attacks off before they proc & break the stealth. Prismatic Glyphs & hitting the humanoid dummy works, as the enchants don't proc against the dummy.
3. Position yourself directly behind the dummy & start heavy attacking.

These attacks are not guaranteed crits and do not stun the dummy, but they do register as "attacks from crouch" and proc things like Camouflaged Hunter. They also seem to benefit from Stealthy racial passive.

Funnily enough, if you attack the target dummy from the sides or infront, it will take the guaranteed crits & get stunned. NPCs in general seem to be getting stunned from sneak attacks from infront or from the sides with DW weapons equipped.


Anyway, here's a video of the testing I did on dummy:

Testing that still needs to be done: hitting player characters from infront (so they shouldn't get stunned).

Possibly doable with Night Mother's Embrace & Night Terror sets reducing detection radius.


It is bugged on both PTS & Live btw.
