Guild Wars 2

I’m a big fan of using CnD>Steal because its an easy stealth but recently, i’ve been getting revealed when i do it. I know i have the timing right but about 90% of the time, I keep getting revealed. It really has only been happening recently, maybe for a couple days.

is anyone else experiencing this problem? I’ve always had auto attack on but from my understanding and experience, going into stealth cancels auto attack. i’ve been maining thief since i first started playing, again, it hasn’t been much of an issue till recently.

I tested in pvp and wvw and didn’t notice any problems. Could it be last refuge popping right as you start your mug/cnd or maybe latency on your side messing with the order?

maybe. i really dont know. i havent changed my build in ages but i thought last refuge only triggers when your hp threshold reaches 25%. latency shouldnt be an issue though. i’ve been hearing a lot about this last refuge nonsense but im not 100% sure what its all about

Make sure you dont have Stealth on Steal trait on.

I don’t know if it’s still a problem, but it used to be that lightning/fire sigils could trigger and reveal you.

do you have mug trait on?

Mug is fine. It’s the stealth on steal that normally kittens people over.
So I’m pretty sure that all effects on steal happen before CnD hits.

They fixed mug with stealth on steal but priming cnd still blows it. Any damaging sigil I would imagine as well.

If your Dancing Daggers are bouncing and you try to stealth, you’d get revealed while it bounced and deal damage.

If you have Rune of Air and it procs — insta-reveal.

If you didn’t shower for a month, even a blind can find you.

EDIT:
Forced reveals;
vs Ranger – sic’em
vs Engi – goggles

Don’t forget last refuge in that list sir vincent! hehe jk, where is that one of 600 threads about last refuge?…

;p

If you use steal with mug right as you land your CnD, it reveals you. A few patches ago, anet (for some stupid reason, who knows why, maybe just a bug) added in a delay to steal’s actual hit connect. So if you use it right as your CnD lands, the hit processes afterwards, which leads to being revealed.

This sounds like my experience. I saw this thread and was like, “I thought it was only me.” Until reading this post I assumed that I was just a total dingbat when it comes to timing. Which is not usually what I am. So I was confused. But this makes total sense, and I imagine it’s what the op is experiencing.

I switched mug off. Air and fire sgill still on dp. Tested on dummies. (It’s the mug.)-> only with auto attack on.

Have to test the timing again, but out of 5 tries I got revealed 5 times with cnd+mug.

I didn’t get revealed on dummies with mug off. Where is this Thief bugs collection thread? I think it’s already in there.

Switched off auto attack and did not get revealed with mug and sigills.

I use fire air and mug and haven’t had an issue past few days(or while that I recall). I’ll play around more tonight and report back.

I’ve been using CnD+Mug for a little while. It’s never revealed me.

after soloing a few champs and general play I would estimate I used cnd+steal around 75 times. I would estimate I used inf signet with it about 10. Air and Fire on Daggers, I have Mug traited. I don’t use SA line.

I was never revealed through it. My guesstimation would be latency, but I wasn’t there when you did it.

Just to add to the discussion, I removed mug and all of the sudden my CnD+Steal worked 10/10 times (unless they blocked or whatever.) Although I have a friend who I was roaming with who had his working perfectly with mug. So I don’t know what the heck is up. All I know is that I’m not using mug for awhile.

Also try turning off auto attack 1.
