Hi people.
Can anyone explain me (better than the official site poor explanation) when is the best time to use this skill?
There says blur's enemy vision, discouragin agressive behavior, however this I get using trick...
I've seen THs use it for crowd control in places like ToI. For example, let's say there is a ranged mob that tends to attack your party and then retreat to an area where you're going to get a lot of social aggro. A TH can prevent a nasty situation just by using Veil on the mob, giving the rest of his party time to set up for dealing with the mob. When the mob is "Veiled", it just kinda sits there passively, until the spell wears off. It's a lot like sleep in that regard, but it seems to cast much faster. And the TH is a lot safer in getting up close to the mob than a mystic with sleep, as he can make himself/herself "invisible" to the mob.
So it seems like it works as Confusion skill, since the mob doesn't attack the dagger whether the skill works or not...
I don't know about that, some Dagger users need to jump in and help with the answers. But the dagger user I saw using Veil, it worked so well, I just assumed he was getting 100% land rate.
Veil has a high land rate. Once a mob is veiled it won't aggro unless you hit it. I think it will still be social to other mobs if you aggro them though. As oldfart said, it's very nice to use on certain mobs, especially ranged if you're busyt with other mobs. I sometimes veil the bad mobs and kill the ones around it then deal with him last.
Confusion makes a monster change target randomly once it's aggro, can be changed to other mob or player for that matter (not 100% sure, but other players for sure). It's not permanent, it will focus back on you if you hit a social mob.
Veil is a pretty nice skill.
For example if you have a party that want to pass a room with 5 aggro mobs. A dagger can veil the 5 mobs while he is in silentwalk.
After that the party can pass the room with the 5 mobs w/o getting aggro for 2 minutes. Its like the mobs are blind :)
