Guild Wars 2

Thanks to all of the thief QQ posts, there will be a reveal debuff after coming out of stealth.

While guilds and roaming groups will still use veil, it just became impossible to use multiple veils to launch a long distance surprise attack.

On the bright side, you get to see/fight the thief.

I don’t know where you heard this, I wouldn’t mind if you cited your source.
I have certainly not heard this information.

But if it is true,
Great.
I don’t want to be a zerg’s veil kitten any more than I ever liked being people’s portal kitten.

State of the Game discussions

Around the 56Min mark they started talking about thief and stealth.

Can’t you put another veil before the current one ends? Or does it behave like temporal curtain which won’t stealth you again?

It behaves exactly like temporal curtain. You can’t gain the benefit unless the buff is fully off you.

Making revealed apply every time you come out of stealth is the greatest change to this game so far. That in addition to removing culling will dethrone the thief as the king of WvW. 6 months was a pretty good run for them though.

What? Now people actually have to be smart about using stealth skills, in both 1v1 and zvz combat? Worst. Change. Ever.

That’s like, 90% of thieves in WvW that are going to roll rangers now. pew pew pew is the next big thing.

Sounds like a nerf to veil stacking zergs to me, which I think is good. I didn’t see many QQ posts about it in here though. I posted a thread stating it was OP and was shot down by people saying it wasn’t OP etc. I think its a good change because from what I have seen you get a few decent mesmers into your zerg and the enemy doesn’t even see you until your dropping their backline.

Now organized guilds split into groups of 5 and have thieves shadow refuge them before attacking

Ingenius!

imho, that takes much more coordination and time then just running through veil

Or Mesmer. Either way whatever the next flavor of the month class the bads flee to will make for easy badges. Easier than getting badges from invis spamming thieves anyway.

It’s a terrible change. I hope they change their mind.

Good. So glad thieves are getting a nerf.

Expected. Took Anet awhile to fix this stealth mechanic spamming
