Guild Wars 2

just wondering, if a thief gets blind can they stealth? or does blind stop the stealth from working

It’ll stop CnD from stealthing you, since it won’t hit.

^ Basically what grim said.

However, it’s important to note that you can still be blinded while in stealth. One of my tricks is to lay down Black Powder when another thief stealths, so that if they try to backstab me they’ll just be blinded and unable to do so.

cool, one of my mates is buiding his necro with wells. wanna make sure i can still kill him

yeah, definitely want to be careful with this one. He can’t keep you from popping into stealth, but he can lay down a blind that keeps you from doing much in stealth anyways. He can also lay down marks where he is and basically just use them as traps for if you get too close.

so shortbow sounds good here

Basically, yes. Just land a few poisons and Cluster Bombs when they have the well up, not much else you can do about it. Personally, I’ve been running a P/P build recently, which gives me the advantage of not having to worry about this kind of stuff, due to my general focus on ranged combat. However, I wouldn’t suggest the build to you just so that you don’t have to worry about marks and whatnot when in stealth.

wells suck, just dodge over them

Run melandru runes and lemongrass poultry food. Blind lasts like 1 sec or less.

If a thief in Stealth gets blinded, the hit wont land, If a thief try;s to C/D you while blinded. It will be a failed attempt, because it won’t hit.
