REAL method to see stealthed players in Battlegrounds!

[falarious]

I did a search and made sure this was not a repost.

Now, when I am about to capture the flag in eots, or steal a base in AB, I ALWAYS hate it when rogues come up behind you and sap/attack you. Here is a little trick to catch these bastards!

I found this out by complete accident just a little while ago while doing some pvp in AB. I accidently had the 'v' key. By default, this places a health bar over the enemy. I did not bother to click it off since I was really into the match, Alliance was winning!

I noticed, while fighting, I could see the health bar creeping up on me from behind. As a mage, I frost novad and found that it was a rogue trying to get me. I kept on fighting and I kept on seeing bars out of no where when I was close to the stealthed player. This gave me a HUGE advantage and people would go like WTF? when I frost novad them and killed them.

Unfortunately, this does NOT work in arena for some reason.

'v' key to show health bars...hrm. working as intended.

-.- he's saying that it allowed him to see a stealthed character.

Show me a blizzard post saying that's working as intended.

That part is. But the whole point of stealth is being exploited since people will easily know where the player is when they are near you. Think of this as a high form of perception.

I always have the health bars on for mobs etc and this has never happened to me in a BG.

you can see rogue's health bar, but only when he stantds next to you... only from 1-3 yard distance... you must be pretty fast, or rouge must be pretty lame to nova him...

If you're able to see his health bar, you would also be able to tab target, they are just 'stealthed' but not untargetable. It's a good way to see them coming tho perhaps, more of a tip than exploit,

You could also 'change' the stealth sound I spose to something more 'alarm' style to help detection,

agree.....

This does not work for me tbh.. I always got V button on and I never see rogues......

His health bar probably showed up because you spotted him in stealth. I've never noticed this in BG's to be honest, and i always play with enemy health bars showing.

Maby because Perception is now passive for humans? If you are a human...
