Ive had these a few times now and fairly new to thief:

1. Players auto attacking me whilst I am in stealth (seem to often be SB)
2. SR removing me from stealth when I am in stealth from heal.

Are these common? They are bugs right?

  1. People can still hit you while in stealth. A smart player will spam their auto attack.
  2. Did you move out of SR too early? It will reveal you if so.

as for 1, channeled attacks continue through stealth as long as they start before you go into stealth, so those could be what is hitting you as far as ranged attacks. it is widely believed to be a bug, but to my knowledge anet has yet to acknowledge it either way(not surprised). also, auto attack chains will advance if they hit you, even if you are stealthed. they can track you to a degree using that if you are being chased down in melee.

as for 2, check to see if you still have the stealth buff, sometimes you show as visible on your screen but are still in stealth. it is a known bug. also, if you leave shadow refuge before the duration is up, you are knocked out of stealth and given revealed. that may be what is happening as well, if you were unaware of that.
