Tried this in WvW a number of times and noticed that Scrapper Detection pulse (supposedly 6 second’s) is useless against Thief’s Hide in shadows, allowing a thief to Infiltrator Arrow (or such) out of combat, fully reset undetected (Shadow Refuge’d) and then return with full initiative, i.e. played ‘right’ with a shortbow/smoke-team allow perma-stealth, out-of-combat-reset-back-to-combat technique’s where not even Ele’s Ride the Lightning can reach a thief re-setting/re-engaging with no penalty. Fix it or we might as well go swiping at thin air.

Also, on the subject of Scrapper Detection Pulse, you guy’s really have to rethink Sneak Gyro — apply a detectable halo-pulse or something on the dark/bland S-gyro, me and a number of other Scrappers perma-stealthed 1200 and kept BG-tagging (Blast Gyro) /Shredder’s at a blob attacking our keep back-door…. that ain’t right.
