Bug or working as intended?

[Aria]

I noticed when exiting a ventilation shaft,  I have a cool down on before I can initiate combat? 

[Prophet]

I think you always have cooldown when entering new area / loading a save.

[Aria]

Makes it quite hard to initiate combat from stealth when your detected before the cool down in complete....find it rather annoying.

It's intended so as to prevent people from abusing area transitioning into first strike mechanic.

On the other hand, if you invest in stealth, you should be able to remain hidden long enough for this cooldown to pass since detection is not instant.

Well even with 70 stealth thats with all my bonuses etc I am still detected rather quick, so either mob detection is quite good or 70 is not all that great?

Guess I better get to work on stealth!
