Guild Wars 2

I was wondering if this is a bug or if it is intended to work as it does. If someone casts a channeled ability such as volley it continues to track you and do damage while you are stealthed. Is this supposed to be happening ? It seems like its broken and stealth should end the channel.

It should but its worst with rangers rapid fire tracks you for 5 seconds… i stealth eat damage during whole stealth and then emerge out of stealth with ranger still using that rapid fire …

Yeah this happens to me all the time. channeled single target skills like mesmer’s greatsword 1 or ranger’s longbow rapid fire keep targeting me, even if i go into stealth and move out of his line of fire.

It’s a counter to stealth which the masses say there are none of.

Yeah, this makes me rage occasionally. Several times I’ve lost a large chunk health and died to a channeled attack after I’d already gone into stealth. It makes sense to still take damage while in stealth, but targeting and channeled attacks should drop the instant stealth activates.

There’s a lot of counters to stealth, like warrior’s shield block (if theyre getting attacked), area CC by hammers, ANY area skill that necros and eles have, even auto attacking the air.

This is true but the mantra is repeated ad nauseum on these forums. “There is no counter to stealth”, “We need a counter to stealth”, “give us a consumable to see thru stealth” blah blah

Mindless aoe spamming and swinging in the air may work but is hardly considered a true counter to stealth.

Currently, the only counter to stealth is stealth itself….
