Guild Wars 2

I would like stealth to work when I drop acid bomb in a smoke field. Acid bomb is a great blast finisher to help escape but I always just end up with the revealed debuff after the jump back. I have not tested the smoke field with rocket boots yet.

This is so annoying, It is because you damage the enemy when you do the combo.

I wanted to use smoke bomb + big ol bomb combo to escape in combat, but it would never work because big ol bomb would hit ennemies and get me revealed.

To me, this is just due to lack of testing. We already know it’s intended for the finisher itself is not to cause revealed.

Exhibit 1) Heartseeker through blinding powder – when you land the leap damage, your stealth is not broken.

This sounds more like one for the bug category, to me.

Maybe a bug, but it might also be because I was using a blast finisher, and not a leap finisher.

When I’m with my roaming team in WvW, we usually put a smoke bomb on the ground, and we all blast the hell out of it to stack stealth.

Sadly if an ennemy come into range, it will cancel our stealth. Happened quit a lot.

Acid Bomb does damage every second, so even if it is not bugged it would still probably reveal you on the second tic, unfortunately. Not sure if it could be changed to continue to do damage without breaking stealth.

You can achieve this selfcombo with flame turret, place it activate overcharge and detonate while standing in the smoke.

I know using turrets make most engineers shiver by just the thought but with the new upcoming patch turret builds MIGHT become playible.

Autodefense Bomb Dispenser + Rocket boots = most lolsy combo in the game

That zerg will have no idea where you vanished off to.

Smoke bomb + rocket boots is enough for me to get away.

Acid bomb as a stealth finisher is quite silly considering the skill itself “ticks” damage o.O

indeed, stealth breaks if you deal damage.. I take that as a positive, I don’t want thiefs nuking me while invisible.

You can do quite nice stealth tricks in a small scale situation.

But don’t Thief bleeds continue to tick away while they’re stealthed and not reveal them?

old conditions don’t break stealth. Just all new offencive skills and any direct damage done, old or new.

If it’s going to work, it’s going to require an exception in the code and thus dev attention.

Thief caltrops don’t deal any direct damage, so even though they continually re-apply bleeding they don’t bring the thief out of stealth.
