How does he do damage?

As soon as a leap finisher hit a target, he would get revealed, and if hes looking at anything (targeting something.) he would autoleap towards the target.

This concept cannot do damage, you sacrifice alot of DPS just to get this spec to work and you need the vitality trait (2 initative every 10 seconds.) and the (2 initiative.) when you stealth to do this and the utility slot 1 initiative every 10 seconds as well.

Thats 40 traits alone, how do you kill anyone without 25 power and 30 in critical?

As soon as his leap finisher hits a target, he would get revealed.

Also, this is in WvW, not SPVP.

More information and discussion here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/12ruhs/thief_proof_of_concept_permanent_stealth/

The Leap Finisher actually applies damage before the stealth, so the Black Powder + Heartseeker combo is extremely powerful with Berserker gear. It’s:

  • a gap closer
  • a Projectile Blind
  • a Smoke Field
  • an execution skill through Heartseeker
  • a Stealth through Combo Leap
  • a Condition remover from Stealth traits
  • a heal from Stealth traits
  • a free Backstab from Stealth

If you meet a Thief that appears to be attacking without breaking Stealth, it is this Thief.

Its a survivability build, you won’t instantly kill anyone with it.

If you use cloak and dagger just before your stealth goes down you will stay hidden and do damage!

Brilliant!
