Guild Wars 2

Seriously, there’s no internal CD on this thing?

I immob this engi 2-3 times in a row and each time he stealth. Put a 10-20 sec CD on this please.

Why were you immobilizing the Engie so much?

Leg Specialist?

Lol trips me out too that there’s no ice and this mofo disappears.
My S/P doesn’t care but annoys my S/D hard.

I believe this is the first qq thread about an engineer trait since juggernaut (as in, august 2012 juggernaut). Could be wrong, though.

Edit: the revealed mechanic works as normal with cloaking device so there’s already a short internal cooldown. I’d be okay with increasing the duration of revealed, though

the engy is stuck in place so u can just swing at air and youll hit him.

Even if they go invisible they are still there unable to move. Unless they use a utility to get out of it. Instead of giving it a internal cd Ill also rather have a longer duration on stealth debuff

Cloaking device is a PvE trait for deterring mobs that mass imobilize you, I’ve yet to see someone actually miss a hit after cloaking. Its only PvP use is to throw off people that didn’t know there were more than 7 proffessions.

lol how are you complaining about this trait as a warrior. Attack where you last saw him and you will still kill him..

The GW2 community never cease to amaze me, kitten I’m still waiting for the famous
" Chicken is OP , nerf it!" , seriously nobody noticed how OP are those chickens near Divinity Reach?

^No kidding, I sat there for about 5 minutes trying to cook it with a flamethrower, and it still wasn’t extra crispy. Anyways this is another pointless ‘ermagush so OP nerf it’ thread for those who don’t know how to l2p. Someone flag this thread to close it, Im to lazy to leave a reason for the moderator….

When playing my old Condi Warrior build I found an Engi with this trait. It’s hilarious, I’m pretty sure my target was invisible more often then visible. As stated before though, with melee attacks it’s extremely easy to keep hitting them. With ranged it takes a bit of targeting practice but you can still hit them.

This is the worst stealth in the game! The stealth only lasts as long as the immob does. In a tPvP setting where people understand how cloaking device works, it’s only going to help your survivability if you get immob’d from long range and they are trying to hit a targetable ability.

Between classes with AOE abilties and melee skills (does anyone not fit this category?), you are still getting hammered into the ground while you’re exactly where you went stealth – engis are not fooling anyone.

Giving up 3-4 seconds of protection on crit trait for this is a hard sell, heh. PvE trait is balanced for PvE.

Hehe yeah, but I still use it in PvP sometimes just for the 8% chance that I transmute the immobilize at the same time… Effectiveness: 0, fun: 10.

I kinda wish there was a big glowy animation for Transmute so I knew it was actually doing something. I never notice it personally, but that’s the perception for ya.

I notice it whenever I get hit by an ability that puts up a certain amount of bleed, and this bleed stack ability was reduced by 1.

IE: a big churning only putting 7 bleeds up. It seems every stack is rolled against the 8%.

Sorry for derail, haha.

You know, I think I’ve seen that before too, crazy.

All the rest of the stealth procs from something have an icd. Plus for all the skills that require a target it doesn’t work to just cast in an area.

Trait just needs a 3-5 sec icd, so that back to back immobles will have a better effect, but random ones still trigger the trait.

It does trigger Revealed when you deal damage from the stealth, so there is a short cooldown attached already. Or at least, that’s how I think it works from what I’ve read and how Thieves work. I myself have never used the trait.
