Guild Wars 2

I’m finding a few occasions after the latest update where the aggro seems different when using stealth (and I have the blind on stealth).

- Blinding an ambient creature puts you in combat until the creature dies
- Blinding a neutral creature when you are in stealth can leave the creature acting neutral but putting me into combat until it dies (or I leave the roaming area)
- Blinding an enemy creature when you are in stealth will similarly leave you in combat but the enemy does not pursue you as a target even when revealed. This will be annoying when skipping mobs in dungeons with blinding powder.

Any of these might have been happening before the patch but I don’t think they were. Can anyone confirm these?

I do not think that is new, certainly not with ambient creatures. It has made Young Karka farming a bit of a pain for a long time, as most of them have crabs. Nearby

It was the change they made during the last bug fixing patch where they reference 0 damage skills now putting you in combat. I think they specifically mentioned tainted shackles in the bullet point.

Edit: see October 15th general balance part of the patch

i’m a bit confused, is this the one where before if you used attacks that didn’t do any damage it didn’t put you into combat, but now it does?

if so, this is not new it was ninja implemented a few patches ago.

edit: ninja’d by Maugetarr, nicely played.

Ok thanks, I’ve just run foul of it a few times recently then. I must have been playing my warrior too much in the mean time. It’s certainly an annoyance that doesn’t really need to be there, especially for ambient creatures.
