the actual throwing of the caltrops will not unhide you BUT you WILL agro everything and they WILL turn towards you and shoot you thus unhiding you.. So if your thinking Caltrops+AS forget it.

Caltrops+AS+Placate = Very dead boss very quickly.
I tend to find that bosses will be more interested after their alpha in getting off of the caltrops than in attacking you.
Its the damage on the caltrops that unhides you, not dropping the caltrops themselves. So you can drop them to block a door, move in, AS and then retreat into your caltrops but you can't drop them on a group and then expect to AS, which as a previous person said makes them all turn and shoot you.
What about in PvP? Can you throw them at someone and still AS him/her? (Assuming he/she doesn't freak out and pull some AoE move.)
caltrops in pvp are not that good .. people seem to get out of them fast also theres no -fly element so ppl can just fly off them.
Would take atleast 3 slots in caltrops to be any use in pvp IMO.

I'm glad this question came up, cause it saves me asking it. Will still take caltrops and use them for retreating then

Hi I have an energy/nin and was thinking about taking Caltrops to stop my target running. The questio I have is if I sneak up behind and through caltrops down do I become visible? and thus unable to as or can i then proceed to as as you would with hide?
