I’m reading a lot of posts complaining about stealth. Personally, i don’t like the idea of stealth, but i doubt Anet will remove it. However, it is reasonable to reduce movement speed while in stealth. This way, thieves can still use stealth for the intention of not being seen briefly, and opponents can still counter with aoes. Furthermore, this will prevent lengthly stealth escapes. Thieves currently are able to stack 10s steath and then happily walk away. With a movement speed nerf, it is now possible to catch up and finish them off.
Please don’t flame. I just want to hear constructive feedback. I often see people argue, “learn to counter stealth” but frankly, you can’t do anything to stealth. You are no longer in control of the situation, while the thief has the option to strike or flee.
