A Visual of Khajiit's New Stealth Capability (Stacking is quite extreme)
Race changed my master thief Bosmer on the PTS to a Khajiit for whiskers and giggles. I just wanted to see how absurd the new 5 meter bonus to stealth radius would be. You actually cannot get detected by stationary guards/certain mobs AT ALL. The only time a justice NPC could actually detect me was if they pathed right through me, which is trivially easy to avoid. You can even run tight circles around walking guards and they still won't detect you unless you let them walk
through you. You can run around, jump and bump into stationary guards all you want and they will never detect you.
Bosmer don't sneak nearly as well on PTS as they can on Live but at least they could directly compete with Khajiit to offer players that like stealth gameplay another racial choice. Khajiit really is the only choice for serious min-max stealth gameplay as of the current Wrathstone PTS.
I am not asking for any nerfs or buffs to either Bosmer, or Khajiit. I have made my peace with the racial changes. I am just showing this information because I don't believe anyone has tested the stealth reduction stacking, and, it can get quite extreme (though what does that matter)? Do with this information what you will.
This guard doesn't even know...Literally cannot get closer. Not possible to be detected by a static guard. Bonus comparisons below. Some users report achieving the same or similar things on the current patch. 3 Meter Bonus
5 Meter Bonus
Among some addsNo sucking this cat's blood, pest!
Ummm, am I one of them? They seem to think so...
