I was in WvW earlier today and there was a thief from Blackgate who was able to go invis every 2 seconds. I couldn’t click on him or report him and trying to screen him was literally impossible. He could attack in invis, and final blow in invis. All I got was that this guy is from a guild called “Urge.”

There are consumable and various support abilities that allow for group stealthing.

It could also be a rendering issue due to the way the server compensates so your computer doesnt explode with 500 people on the screen shooting projectiles at each other.

Nope, that is def not it. We were pushed back to the gates and there weren’t many people left. I’m posting a chatlog screenshot to show I’m not crazy

The only option you really have is to send the proof you have to Anet and hope they respond to it and the other reported bug/sploits that are floating around.

Well, thief can go stealth around every 3 seconds if he/she/it does not miss the attack of C&D.

Total Barrage is correct. As a thief player myself, I can assure you that as long as he’s landing his attack that gives him stealth, he can restealth just about every 3 seconds as long as there’s targets to hit and initiative to burn. Combine that with the heal that also stealths, and the potential for a stealth ability through stealing, not to mention utility skills, a thief can stealth VERY often in optimal situations.

The only drawback is the “Revealed” debuff, which lasts 3 seconds.

A thief can also stealth then do the execute animation, which doesn’t reveal the thief until it completes(counts as an attack). A thief also gets a special attack from stealth, based on their primary weapon.

With so little information, it’s hard to tell exactly what the OP saw. But this doesn’t sound like a hack or exploit, it’s sounds like a thief knowing his class and playing like a champ, and the OP not understanding how thieves work.

I don’t know about the inability to click on him, but that could have been lag. Try using tab to target enemies instead. Also, a thief being in stealth does NOT make him invulnerable. Use AOE attacks around the area you think he’s at. You can even swing melee weapons in their general direction. Again, as a thief player, let me assure you that I have been hit AND killed while in stealth by lucky guesses with these kinds of attacks.

Thief is pretty much OP anyway – like all stealth classes. It’s one of the part where ANet failed – they wanted to make a class with “limited” stealth, yet it’s still as OP and easy mode than e.g. a WoW rogue.

I have a thief and this isn’t a case of the stealth build. We had the same thing happen and we had 10+ people AOEng everything in sight(elementalist rain of fire, necromancer marks, warrior fire arrow, etc) and no one was hitting him. Stealth does not prevent you from taking damage so where did he go? When increased radius necromancer marks don’t explode until the thief is already at the center of them(his target was always siege equipment) something is fishy.

The thief is using a teleport hack+ C&D. The stealth masks the teleport and the enemy players just think he stealthed. In reality the thief is miles away waiting to do another C&D.
