Guild Wars 2

The Shadow Arts VIII trait Hidden Thief, “stealing grants you 2 seconds of stealth”, is bugged when using a pistol main hand. When attempting to steal with Hidden Thief while using a pistol main hand weapon, stealth is immediately broken, a single vital shot (not from stealth) is fired, and you are removed from combat mode. With other weapons equipped the trait works properly; stealth is activated and no auto-attacks are made.

This is messing up what I want to do, please fix.

There is a /bug feature in game for reporting bugs…

There is also a bug forum here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs

Bug reports don’t belong here.

turning off auto attack fixes it from my experience. also, if you are auto attacking and then steal you will connect with steal and stealth before your shot hits, then the shot connecting forces you to drop stealth.

Thanks, I didn’t know about the bug report feature or the forum, but I guess I wanted to see if anyone had something else to add too or more info.

Thanks! I’ll try turning off auto attack on pistol 1, and the stealth-sequence thing is something I’ll try to look out for. Pistol main is fun in WvW!
