Stealth Attacks Suck!

[LobsterFiend]

I like how when I neck snap, my victim is not turned into a vegetable.  I'm a space ninja assassin, not a chiropractic physician!

[Cynick]

Yeah stealth attacks should be a kill. Always. Then there would be a reason to be silent.

Look on the bright side, at least you got a thanks for fixing that Grineer's stiff neck before he started showering your face with bullets.

Stealth attacks do less damage for me than normal attacks, something is wrong.

[MagPrime]

Stealth attacks should be insta death, everytime.  Except on bosses, they should be able to sense an incoming attack somehow.  Like a Spidey sense, but only for stealth attacks. 

[ArcusVeles]

We also need stealth attacks for moas, now that we can't charge attack them.  I wanna jump on their back and ride them in to a wall.

+400% damage is a big deal on lower levels, but against higher level enemies doesn't really mean much.

 

Stealth Attack bonuses should be larger, since it's already difficult to do as is without resorting to Loki or Ash. Makes me think of Skyrim and its +1,200% damage on daggers during stealth attacks, which basically kills everything.

[Ritchel]

it should 1 hit

In one the recent DevStreams, Scott and Steve actually directly stated they they holistically disagree with each other on the subject.

I forget who was on what side, but one agrees with you, the other doesn't.

100% damage per enemy level

Stealth should be one hit kill. Wouldn't work otherwise. If you snuck up on some one with the intent to kill, you wouldn't just scrape them. You'd stab them in the vitals.

 

 

And No Crybabies, oneshotting a single mook is not overpowered. Especially considering how slow stealth can be.

My Dual Ichors do poison damage, so their damage bypasses Corpus shields and goes straight to HP. I stealth attacked a Corpus with them the other day and I was pretty sure that I saw blue numbers pop up. Saywot

I just did the Mastery 9 test, and it was AMAZING. They definitely need to work on stealth, and maybe make some stealth based missions too!

I just got nostalgia'd in the face with that Skyrim reference. Additionally I agree that stealth attacks should insta-kill.

[SectorCommand]

Stealth Generally sucks. Space Ninja game without stealth, really ?

 

Rewards for stealthing missions and decent combat bonuses for stealth attacks have been missing for ages. Not to mention a good ol' AI rewrite to deal with stealthing tenno better.

[Ishki88]

Has anyone tried to Channel a stealth kill ;)

[CrazyCatLad]

I did 2 Snap Neck Stealth attacks on a Lancer while cloaked as Ash.  The enemy still lived.  Dafuq.

[Lizzardtong]

wait...i play a game about space ninjas and not about Space chiropractic physicians?

[Harazard]

I would be fine if it does some serious damage in which it knocks the target down and enables an ground finisher attack which is usually more strong than the stealth one

Someone like the M9 test? That's new.

[Canes-Venatici]

I agree to all of the gentleman here unless there's ladies in this thread. Technically speaking stealth attacks in most of the games are surely insta kill. Because it's called stealth attack for a reason. But i don't understand why stealth attacks shouldn't be a insta kill when you spend your time going around enemies back and stealth them from the back when you can shoot them in the face with your weapons. TOTALLY SUPPORT STEALTH ATTACK INSTA KILL ON WARFRAME !! Don't have to count the percentage just make it a insta kill whenever you stealth attack any enemies and ignores all the shield and stuffs. 

 

 

 

 

You don't just go up to a person at his/her back just to tickle them right?

I do that sometimes, it helps lighten the mood and build friendships.

It was actual good stealth, and as someone who plays Ash 24/7, I LOVED IT

[Beas7ie]

Other than the mastery test I think I did less than ten stealth attacks total with the exception of when I was trying a stealth run with Ashe.  

 

Though I blame that on my damn carrier always shooting the bad guy while I'm sneaking up behind him.  I wish we could move that wrym mod that makes it only attack if you are attacked to the other sentinels.
