Guild Wars 2

I was playing on a dps-guard with sword in mainhand, when i encountered a thief…i charged him, and did 2 AAs when he popped his shadow refuge…as i always do i ran into it to spam autos for that nice random hits…now it happend that i repeatedly did the 3rd attack of the chain(that triple attack, that does like 4,5kdmg on crit) which procced the VoJ every second time i attacked, so i knew that i hit that guy…some moments after the shadow refuge was over that guy desteathed in downstate with like 2% of his bar left…that poor theif though

some fights later i managed to hit him in stealth again, again i would do the 3rd attack of the cain repeatedly, to insta-kill him in stealth…also worked with 2h sword, which made me stack might on every attack…i feel like i cheated

tl;dr the AA-chain seems not to work as intended vs. stealthed foes —-> the aa-chain seems not to reset after the 3rd hit, if ur enemy is stealthed

any1else can confirm this?

No, it is a visual bug, the last attack actually didnt land, so the animation gets stuck, he probably was going down in between 2 and 3 attack. It happens all the time vs mobs with stealth, you can check it on the mobs right behind AC, they go in stealth usually when Im about to land the 3rd attack. Visual bug, not an actual damage bug,

All thiefs are poor these days, but are you sure you weren’t hitting a building on Battle of Kyhlo or a wurm (all the way down) in Skyhammer?
As this will loop trough your attacks as you feel like hitting your invisible target.

no im quite sure i didnt hit any structure and it felt like i hit him over and over because the flames of VoJ popped over my skillbar with every second hit…but might also be a visual bug thingy…meditation-dps guard does ridicilous amounts of dmg so i can imagine i just killed him with regular AAs but the game “showed” the wrong animations

somehow this feels like a thief saying this as if it was a guardian……. Im gonna assume Im incorrect though….

anyways, best thing you can do then is have a thief and you reproduce this and take a screenshot, perhaps it isnt a visual bug, but as far as Im concerned, from personal experience and seeing that happen several times just to see the mob/thief come out of stealth with what woiuld’ve been only 1 attyack, I must say that no, it is a visual bug
