What's the deal with stealth?

[KiriA500]

You move slower because you're sneaking, duh.

Its to make sure people don't abuse it, yes there are mobs above the cap for stealth but if it did not reduce movement speed any time you see aggro mobs that it would work on you would swap to a DoL to stealth past them, this makes people not want to do that.

Well the only difference between not aggroing below 50 and not aggroing below 41 is that the former--38 of a DoL--takes a while (or a bot) to get, while the latter--a DoM/DoW at lv50--can take a couple day or a week. Also, a DoM/DoW could likely defeat a mob <50 easily. There's hardly an abuse potential outside of low-level dungeons (and I feel that Stealth shouldn't be usable in dungeons anyway--if it is, I've never tried). Stealth can't really do anything a level 50 can't... but I understand what you're saying, too. ^^; Just some stuff to think about.

I don't get why stealth restricts movement speed.

Because otherwise you'd just leave it up all the time. They want to make you think about whether or not to use it.
