Guild Wars 2

I’ve noticed this problem recently. The first few times I just assumed it’s because of something I did to cause mass invis to break early or to not apply at all. In the last couple weeks I began recording vids so now i can replay all my combat encounters. Mass invis sometimes fails to work at all, and sometimes when it does, it ends way sooner than it’s supposed without me doing damage.

Maybe there is something my eyes are passing over. But can anyone tell me why exactly Mass Invis fails to work at 0:58 seconds. You only need to watch that part of the vid since that’s the only time I tried to use Mass Invis. If this is a bug and not something I’m missing I’ll repost in bug forums.

I can confirm this … happened yesterday a lot in tPvP, not just on me but also failed to stealth other. Beside this, when i was still invisible i used decoy (the one you go invisible and leave clone behind) and instead of making invisible longer i imediately got visible. Dont know if that happens everytime when you usei t like that tho.
Oh and also the downed statte invisible has same problem , radomly shortens the duration, without using any attack spell.

thats a pretty odd bug, you can see the reveal buff appear the second mass invis finishes casting.

i’ve ever had this happen to me. usually the only time my stealth breaks is if i shatter before stealthing, and some of the clones haven’t shattered yet before i stealthed. but illusion attacks themselves dont break your stealth.

i can only imagine it has something to do with dodging at precisely the moment the spell finishes casting.

I see a 2219 damage crit the exact moment Mass Invis is cast. If you’re using Runes of Air that would be the problem.

ahh okay. I am using Rune of Air. I’ll make sure to watch the combat log next time I feel like my invis has ended too early. Thanks

Edit: I’m rewatching that part over again and I really don’t see any lighting, there is usually an animation. I don’t know. It happens so fast. But if it is breaking because my runes proc an attack, it makes a lot of sense.

I run rune of the air also, and can confirm this is the reason your mass invis fails. Personally I think Anet should fix this.

Also confirmed. I stopped running runes of the air for this exact reason (I use Beryl Orbs now).
