Guild Wars 2

It seems a lot of the time when I try to use decoy it only stealths me for a split second and not anywhere near 3 seconds. Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue?

Do you have any projectiles in flight? As any projectiles you have launched that lands afterwards, will break your Stealth. Its especially notable on the Staff, with how slow its projectiles move.

The above would include shatters still running. It’s good to note that you can shatter f3 for its daze effect and not worry about breaking stealth.

That must be it. I know it’s been frustrating. Now I know I can adjust, thanks for responses!
