Trust me if you’ve ever fought a trapper Thief that knows how to kite it’s absurd how often they can stealth.
Trapper Ranger is powerful but they lack stunbreaks and often have no active condition cleanse or stability. They’re easy to kill if you know how to fight them.
Trapper Thieves on the other hand, they have similar weaknesses but are way, way harder to pin down thanks to much higher stealth uptime, mobility and if they spec for power, damage as well.
As much as I want it on my Dragonhunter… we don’t need 3 more Stealthy classes
trap thieves, rangers, guards will use it (well.. maybe not thief)
Yeah, who knows, maybe ANet might be forced to make stealth balanced…
In what way is stealth currently OP? A D/P thief (i.e. the class with most stealth) loses 1v1s to basically everything except a mesmer (which is ironically the other stealth class) and even that’s a close matchup.

I’d be pretty interested in seeing how condi trapper thief would do in PvP. Their damage is pretty mediocre and sitting in stealth just means they aren’t contesting the point. Then again, people are kind of forced to sit on point which makes it much easier for them to land caltrops.
It’s stupid how survivable the build is in WvW but it’s not realy good for anything but trolling people.
I dunno, I think they should try putting the runes in and if they end up being broken just remove them. As long as they add them for free and don’t make them one of those stupid runes you have to pay for there wouldn’t be a problem with giving them a trial run.
