Decoy Shot

hmm probably a silly question but can it put hate onto say a beast's pet?

I would think yes as I've heard it can transfer to avatars.

What's the max distance?

Whatever maximum firing distance is. Whoever is closest to the target, between the mob and the ranger, will receive the additional hate.

Thus, multiple rangers can stand in the same spot and use the same decoy. A "Decoy Line," if you will.

Dont tell them that, some nut will try to use 5 rangers to let a pld keep hate...

thanks, not the answer i was expecting, considering trick attack doesn't seem to work for pets, doing a bcnm with an odd ball setup with a few old school friends, this opened up some options for us thanks!~ i was going sam prior.

Iirc it only diverts some of the enmity, it's not a full trick attack thingy. I don't remember if its ve or ce it diverts, read it on bg somewhere, iirc it was ce.

Tested it myself. It's a full CE transfer.

The way I read it worked (also believe was bg), if you run with -50enm, you will acquire half the enmity that your decoy partner does, but you will never be generating 0 enm.

I could be wrong though... memory problems.

Afaik, the camoflauge trick is the only technique that is hate free for ranger, which really should be changed to stay through ws and barrage... (lol balance broken).

Ya looked around and you are correct on the full CE transfer. Idk what I read lol.
