Guild Wars 2

I don’t play thief and don’t plan on but I am just wondering how thieves can stealth and attack(multiple times) without breaking stealth? I thought stealth was meant to be broken when you attack from it, and I can’t find anything on their traits or skills that allow them to do otherwise, but I see it all happen all the time.

If this is in WvW then it’s an issue with “player culling”. You’ll find plenty of information on it if you do a forum search for it.

Hope this helped.

It happened to me twice today that a Thief attacked me while invisible. I didn’t know wtf was happening since I myself play a Thief.

This also wasn’t in a hectic or zergy situation so I’m not sure why it would be affected by player culling. I have a pretty beasty computer too so I’m not sure what it is.

I experienced this in sPvP multiple times (enough to frustrate me, but not all the time). You can consider this a “bug” perhaps? Stealth is broken when they attack. But your computer doesn’t always render the thief right away (that is, it can take a couple of seconds before the thief is shown). It’s just how it currently is…

the stealth reappear animation takes some time and the client sometimes refuses to load the model. you can still target the enemy but you dont see what is actually happening.

add quickness and the thief can kill 1,8k thoughness 20k hp targets before they actually appear on the screen, which is really poor game mechanics.
