Guild Wars 2

So idk if this is SPVP only or not but…

i noticed i have mesmer clones or phants attacking me while i am invis. no this wasnt channeled while me casting a stealth skill. it was well after…like 2-3 secs. happened several times last nite. thought it was just badtiming but….not that much.

anyone else experiencing this>

im sure its not my error. i have been playing thief since day 1 and have won tournements with him. very experienced.

Someone should test this, it’s quite likely it’s true though.

A while ago some bug caused clones to get destroyed while the opponent was in stealth, they fixed that afaik which could have lead to that the clones keep targeting the player in stealth.

i was only getting their ranged skills if that matters or not.

Phantasmal Duelist, Mage and Warlock all have relatively long casting animations even before any projectiles ever become apparent. The animation started right before you entered Stealth, and you get hit by the actual projectiles 1-2 seconds later.

kibbles i said that wasnt it. i have been playing since day 1….. i have won tournements…i have full ascend…full legendaries… im not a nub.

i said there was some kind of anomaly … ill try go back and get a video today.

So if they used another focus this problem wouldn’t happen?

IDK … what im saying is…it wasnt lag or a slow channel or precast before invis. im talking i stacked invis even once….it was def AFTER invis. several seconds. idk many mesmer skills fromt he attack end but only from defense. i know none of them channel 4-5 secs+ …do they?

I think that joke went over your head, regardless I’ll have to check this later when I log. Haven’t seen too many mesmers lately. For some reason I see an abundance of warriors though.

all the mesmers i see are PU or focus on blowing up and stunning. basically AI does most the work ….kinda lame of anet to make AI so much more relevant than a player.

another thread from mesmer perspective. they are targeting us while in stealth. and its 100% not a chenneling problem

Same thing happened to me in SPVP. In order to confirm, i stayed in stealth for longer than a single phantasm attack and the phantasms managed to hit me again even though i hadn’t pop out of stealth.

Were you fighting alone? The only thing I can think of besides this being a bug is Phantasmal Disenchanter hitting you with an attack bounced off one of your allies.
Any idea what kind of phantasm it was? What kind of attack did you get hit with (animation/damage type/number of hits)?

i was alone each time it happened and/or nobody was even close enough. i am 100% sure at this point this is a problem but i cant relate to when/how/why yet.
