Guild Wars 2

So I’m running around in Skrittburg, trying to not go insane. The reason? Invisible enemies. You know which ones I’m talking about. The instant I attack one, it goes invisible. Then it pops back up, attacks me once (often from behind…), then go invisible again. Pop back, hit once, invisible. Over. And. Over. And Over. And. Over… With just one of these, it’s very, very, very annoying. Two or more, and I’m having difficulties even surviving. Not because they are dangerous, but because I loose target-lock when they go invisible, making them near-impossible to hit. The only thing I can possibly do is using an AoE attack, but they are often immune to it when they go invisible. (or more likely, they probably just run outside the AoE circle while invisible.)

All this could be avoided if said enemies had a minor cooldown on the invisibility, like we players do. One second, that’s all I ask. Then I would be able to get in a hit every now and then when they are forced to be visible. One second, that’s all I ask.

zoom out a bit, as far i can remember there is some bat type creatures there that fly up to evade your attacks? maybe some of this lava creaters, but they dont go invisible.
sounds to me like a videocard issue of the sorts… (i could be wrong ofcourse)

Are you talking about the shadow skelks?
I have never seen them going instantly invisible after one attack.
There are always a few seconds in which they are visible.
They also don’t move out of aoe afaik. They are always in meele range.
The only thing they might do is porting behind you.

I think you need to say what mobs are doing this OP as I’ve never seen any do what you are describing. As above, the only ones that usually have invisibility is a skelk or one of the big cats, but only once.

It’s gotta be the skelks. What profession/weapon are you using? They go stealth, not invulnerable. A lot of autoattacks don’t require a target. Swing wildly and you should still be hitting them. Be wary, I think they may try to get behind you (though I don’t think they have damage modifiers from stealth/positioning).

Some weaponsets on some professions will have a harder time with them due to projectiles being rather annoying to aim without a target (can be done with camera positioning though).
