Guild Wars 2

Not seeing another topic on this, but in the last day or so Decoy seems to be semi broken.

There are times in or outside of combat when you use it, it randomly won’t stealth you but instead put the revealed debuff on. And yes I’ve checked to see if the reveal debuff was on and which classes I was fighting, noticed it quite a bit when I was going for stomps. This is for wvw have not checked in the other sections.

So am I losing my mind or is anyone else noticing this? I’ve spoken to a couple other mesmers in game and seems it’s happening to them as well.

Make sure you don’t:

1. Hit with a staff projectile that was already on its way before you stealthed
2. Don’t use a manipulation skill like blink that reflects projectiles

I can understand attacks breaking stealth, but why would it put a reveal buff on?
Just fought a warrior in the south part of south camp with nothing around and got revealed after I used decoy. Never had a problem with decoy before friday.

Breaking stealth puts on revealed, period.

For a time, decoy used a different kind of stealth that didn’t apply revealed when broken. They changed this some time ago, and decoy stealth has been vulnerable to revealed since then.

Actually Decoy did cause reveal when broken, but it could be used while being revealed.
