The weirdest thing is, the change happend while the server was ONLINE! I was BEYOND confused. I grinded kolkar in Desolace for reputation and then went to the kodo graveyard in the middle and suddenly i couldn’t shred anymore. I thought it was the kodo’s hitbox, but in fact, it didn’t work on ANY mob anymore.
Also, the movement behaviour of mobs has changed. They now backpedal much quicker when you’re in cat form. I suppose it had to do with the weird horizontally-shaped hitbox of the cat, resulting in your front sticking into the enemies behind, eventhough you were facing it. It must have to do with this, because rogue’s weren’t able to backstab this way. Now the mob will just adjust it’s position, once you make a tiny step in it’s direction as a cat.
I am actually heartbroken, because i don’t have much time for leveling and this speeded things up quite a bit. Now i have to play like a noob again, it hurts!
