Guild Wars 2

looking GM SA traits, there is no really alternative to sj.

So i think it would be interesting adding to some GM trait (or rework) an anti-reveal effect with a medium cd to resist once to a reveal skill from other profs.

I honestly find a little weird like design, thief, master of stealth, doesn’t have any form of reveal/anti-reveal ability, and considering how stealth is important to survive, it would be really interesting to Explorer this area, considering also the reveal rain skills incoming.

I think Karl could surprise us with something really interesting.

How about just removing the reveal traits as they’re stupid anyway, no matter from what perspective you look at it:
Engi: “I could use this trait which would help me against all condi builds, or I could use this trait which would help me against mesmers, partly as they have so many other mechanics than stealth, and against thieves”

Stupid game design. Period. I don’t get why anet continues with this stuff, they could’ve left sic em and googles as a stupid little gimmick and realize their mistake, but no..

Im fine with anti-stealth skills, i think stealth is a really super strong ability and needs some counter.

But thief position has changed, Mesmer has a lot of stealth, engi and ranger has access to stealth + reveal ability, guardian and revevant will have reveal ability, etc.

So i think an anti-reveal trait well designed would be fine

Yeah, when I complained about the design of mesmers in wvw earlier a mesmer said he was fine with the design of his class. The extra stealth would give him more time to tag his opponent (he obviously doesn’t need stealth for anything else).

So I guess everybody but thieves are completely fine with anti-stealth-skills.

Sorry, but these skills and traits make my blood boil ;)

Glad I play S/D where being revealed isn’t as bad xD Then again… I’m playing post patch S/D….

:x

And what about a “remove reveal” utility?
Something with a medium CD, maybe 30/40s that can break stun and immediately remove reveal, or 60s CD stun break and vanish for 4s, even if you have reveal debuff.

I also play s/d a lot. And that’s good practice because i have learned how to survive with minalmal stealth, wich helped me a lot when I get stealth trapped, sic em, goggle thing when I play d/p.

Any thing like that would be mandotory unless into a minor which “he who knows his name” will never do.

Even more reveal on a short CD? At least I haven’t woken up to hear Shortbow 5 was nerfed yet.

there is no indication that the engi elite will apply the revealed debuff on thieves, just that it cancels stealth. for all you know, you can stealth again right away.

im fine with the revealed spells but atleast make them a skill cast so i can avoid it instead of it just hitting me whiloe im already in stealth as an aoe attack and ya theres not really a way of telling if your even revealed just seems like normal after getting revealed

Infinite Sneak Attack/Surprise Shot/Hook Strike does that sound silly to you? So no… Anti Reveal :|
