Guild Wars 2

Seriously. using an elite skill Mass Invisibility which sometimes fails to stealth you for whatever reason is just a broken mechanic. Same for decoy!

When are you going to fix this problem?? I understand its something to do with you damaging the opponent, maybe its even confusion on him that stops it i dont really know but its nothing to do with already having used a stealth skill. It’s simply a mechanic that clearly doesnt work!

Actually it works just fine, there is this little problem with procs on sigils/runes – let’s say you have Rune of Air and you go stealth – if you get hit by some AoE and proc Lightning Strike on attacker – it counts as attack and you are revealed then. I guess it works like that with all similar procs.

Other than that I did not observe any issues.

Revealed?? I didnt even go stealth, I just did the animation and nothing happened.

Dont say its works when it clearly doesnt otherwise nothing gets fixed. Probably the reason why we still have obvious bugs from beta still in the game.

Yeah yeah… Pics or didn’t happen…

Sometimes the stealth animation will fail to render on your character. You will have the stealth buff, but look visible as normal. This is a client-side glitch, and does not actually show up to other players.

The most common reason this happens for me is when a WoC bounce hits the target right after I stealth. Make sure you don’t have any projectiles in transit.

Pretty much this. Also make sure you’re not running Runes of the Air. The (6) ability when it procs will trigger a revealed debuff.

EDIT: Oops, someone already mentioned runes of the air.

No I agree here… Many times without actually attacking or doing anything I’ve had the reveal debuff come on immediately. I don’t use any thing that could proc it through sigils but I’m curious if the cause might be producing a clone while dodging?

I need to test it out a bit more to get a more defined idea of when it occurs – but at this point I haven’t really seen anything consistent.
