Guild Wars 2

will i ever be able to stealth for longer then 3 seconds? i look all over wiki and all it tells me is all the stuff i can while stealthed course i dont see how thats possible since 3 seconds is not long enough to do anything

I believe the cloak and dagger skill last longer than that but I’m not quite sure

not many skills and most that do like Shadow refuge only work for long durations if you stay in the area of effect. the idea is to be active and build the character you want. stealth isnt a constant, its supposed to be an effect utilized on neccesity.

minor annoyance, was think along the lines of a rogue in WoW, but even without stealth im havin alot of fun with the thief

Have you thought about how overpowered an extended Stealth capability would be? As mentioned above, more than 3s of Stealth can be accomplished but only in a fixed, ground targeted areas (that just scream “I’m Stealthing Peeps!”, to anyone that cares to open their eyes).

The Stealth mechanic in GW2 is not really about sneaking around the map, but giving a combat option based on hit & run tactics.

15 points in shadow arts allows stealth to last for 4 seconds.
