I can personally testify that the screams of a woman being terrorized by a snake can easily be heard a quarter mile away.
Upon hearing said screams I ran to the assist only to discover that snake was long dead, roadkill, and that the woman walking along the road had almost stepped on it before noticing it and just lost it.
Thankfully that’s all it was.

Since you’re curious, I recorded a short video demonstration. For it, I took away their legendary bows, and gave them all dragonbone w/ adv. damage kits. Being as I’m also a PvE player, I’m quite aware of how long it takes so get a top-tier thrall to max level. So for this, 4 of the RHTS are level 0, and one is level 5 because that’s what was already there.
Since someone had just used it to kill the boss a few minutes prior, I (being too impatient to wait since it was my lunch break) simply spawned a new one. Combat started at 0:56, ended at 3:32, so about 2.5 minutes. Generally it’s faster for me since I give them legendary bows and help out with the fighting, but you get the idea.
Point is, a minimal setup allows a player to use brains (rather than brawn) to defeat a PvE challenge so as to acquire better loot for taking on harder challenges.
EDIT: FWIW, retested w/ their legendary +Accuracy bows equipped, and that dropped the kill time to 2 minutes even.

I’m not opposed to that, necessarily, but that seems like it would require a significant retooling of virtually all aspects of the game (leveling options, combat dynamics, AI, etc.). Personally, I think the current method of walking and concealing oneself visually has a lot more verisimilitude than an actual stealth skill, but it does feel like landing an attack where the opponent is unaware should carry more weight than it currently does.

Wow, and even looks like the rule of 4 was in effect. Meaning kill boxes only take 4 Relic Hunters lol.

Yeah the level 5 looked a bit miffed that he was being asked to use a non-legendary bow alongside a bunch of box-noob relic hunters.

It’s ping pong. You have agro, then he gets agro while you wail on the mob. It comes back at you, so you shield up. Don’t need overpowered thralls for that.

- Should Skeletons and Rocknose King be aggressive to each other?
- I may be wrong, but Rocknose King respown double in this location and around.
