    So quiet. No one is even talking about it. Now it only clears aggro on mobs that are up to 5 levels HIGHER than you. It no longer works on equal or lesser level mobs.

    Can someone point me to the release note that stated the change?

    I don't think you are reading the aa description correctly. At 115, it works for mobs level 1 through 120

    The changes in every classes Fade ability hit about 6 months ago:

    *** AA ***
    - All - Made the following changes to fade abilities for retuning and to provide a more consistent experience:
    -- All AA escape abilities now have a 100% chance to succeed on opponents up to 5 levels above the caster.
    -- Escape abilities trigger their secondary invisibility or sanctuary buffs regardless of proximity to attackers.
    -- Escape abilities will reduce the amount of hatred any NPC the caster fails to escape from by 1 million points.
    -- Escape abilities now have higher reuse times and resource costs for most classes, as this better reflects our vision for these abilities.
    ...

    Remember that dot aggro changes a bit ago so if you try to fade a mob with dots on it, it's just going to reaggro on the next tick. This might be what you are seeing if you think the fade isn't working.

    Haha I wasn't gonna tell him. But now that the cats out of the bag - yeah you just misread the description, calm down. Why would they make FD only work on super high level mobs? Some people.
