Guild Wars 2

Title says it all. This removes the possibility for classes with stealth-based support from doing their thing. It is discouraging to save Mass Invis knowing your lord is going down, then have your lord use some low-damage down-state ability like a bad guardian.

Perma stealth lord. Sounds legit.

I think lord should be smart enough not to break stealth while downed. Yes, it would be dumb if he didn’t attack while not downed.

Well, here’s the thing. If lord doesn’t attack at all when stealthed, then it may miss the chance to rally from tagging an enemy or from downing an enemy that’s doing a bunch of cleave damage.

I’m not saying that the lord should always attack through stealth, but I don’t know that an AI rule making him not attack is necessarily perfect either.

Pretty much what I thought without even opening the thread….

How about they change the AI to something like this:

If the lord is BEING STOMPED, attacks stop immediately on being stealthed. If the lord is not being stomped, he keeps going HAM on his down-state damage. This way, stealth is really just a decent way to interrupt stomps, especially because stealth is the only way to counter invuln and stab stomps (for the most part).
