when using the Utility goggle Your screen vision turn into Heat vision enabling you to see Stealth targets for 5 sec.

Seriously this would benefit the engineer more then what you know Many pve mob uses stealth and bosses too. And it wouldn’t break the thieves ability other then The (oh kitten an engineer runnnnnnnn for 5 sec to hope they can escape them)

Also you can just place a buff and let me use my racial bear to Chase the Thieves who stole my glory point

also it pretty near useless as a stun-breaker Even if we do get fury which i can get inf of through med kit anyway that has Swiftness and Fury combine. Even if you say well it prevent blindness… I never get hit by blind and even if i do It never a big deal Since it prevent one attack outta the Rest of says 30 other spamable attack i can do.

I like the idea. At the moment the sword thief is THE counter class to HGH engineer. With your screen version the engineer would be the counter class to thiefs.

5 seconds? How about full 10sec duration? Its a 40sec cooldown afterall, that still leaves a Thief with 75% of the time being invisible.
Also let one of the Turrets fire at stealthed targets, not breaking their stealth, but it’ll serve as a warning that someone in stealth is nearby. Thats sorely missing, atleast in WvW, a way to get a little warning that someone is skulking around.

Similar abilities should go to Ranger aswell. There, the two underdog professions now get a much needed Stealth-counter. Atleast in WvW.
