Guild Wars 2

I want to run this past the community and find out if it’s a bug or by design.
When I down a player in pvp I will usually stealth up for the stop right after and in quite a few instances I will still be targeted even though I am in stealth.

This has allowed players to spam their down skill 1 which continues to hit me in stealth and eventually I have to disengage or get downed myself.

Maybe I’m just positioned in the wrong place and need to move behind them but it just seems a bit sly. This happens more with warriors than any other class probably because they are using a projectile.

Many Silverwaste mobs still target you even in stealth. It should be looked into.

If you don’t move after you stealth they can spam the #1 skill where you were standing and still hit you on accident. You need to stealth and then change positions so that the attack doesn’t hit you.

If you are moving and they’re somehow staying locked onto you, make a quick video and report it as a bug.

This is usually a problem from being to predictable. If you down someone and try to stomp them standing right in their line, you will get hit.

Necromancer on the other hand does have a short channel that will tick a few times on you, but only once.

I’d suggest maybe ensuring you’re standing behind enemies before you start to stomp.

Thanks guys. I’ll see how it goes tonight.

Thief 101: Don’t stealth and stand around where you stealthed at. Stealth doesn’t make you unhittable, just invisible, people can still hit you with blind swings, so always move out of their attack field when you stealth, and watch out for aoes.
