Is using stealth an exploit?

[Sir_Die_alot]

On point 3, I call it good tactics.

I don't think that is in contention. I think its the whole point of the debate. It is good tactics, a tad too good. Remember, exploiting the manashield bug in d1 is also a good tactic when your goal is "I win."

What I see you and kandarthe arguing is a cookie cutter approach to most instances, based on an attrition combat model with a combined arms combat team/task force.

IMO when you have the balanced group (not a bunch of rogues, but a tank, healer, ect) this is what you should be doing. The sneak attack isn't something I would want obliterated from the game, but limitations on its viability I think is a good idea lest that become the way.

The Rogue-Druid more like a Special Forces infiltration.  Light forces who, if detected, are toast, but who can apply a lot of combat power if they choose the nature of the engagement.  Combined arms, and sustainability, are part of any smart tactical plan. /end military talk.

Special forces don't haul in a full med and heavy armor support unit do they? ;)

Apologies if I misunderstood your position.

I don't think we disagree so much on the points as the points of view. :) I see this is a cheesy exploit of Blizzard's lack of foresight, but again- NOT CHEATING. To use your Sirian analagy, I think this way is like whacking at the Piñata without the blindfold, or being spun around a few times, or whatever. Just a cheesy "I win" scenario. B)
