Guild Wars 2

So I was fighting a Backstab Thief on my S/D spec. Normally I eat these guys for breakfast because once you evade their initial combo they’re easy pickings. But this guy was different. His name was Jumper X and was rank 48 :O. I fought him a few times and while a couple of them were close he won most of them.

Anyway, the real reason I made this thread is because of a certain fight. I evade his Steal-CnD-Backstab combo ( I actually think it was ShadowStep, not Steal because he only ported close, not exactly on top of me). I land a CnD on him to start chaindazing. He autoattacks 2x, pops the SoS for the blind, and then CnD-Steal-Backstab me and kills me. I was in stealth when this happens and was at least 10 feet away from him. How did he do this?
Any help and advice would be appreciated.

On a totally unrealated side note, a guy thought I was hacking I dazed him so much

We would have to see the fight to really explain what happened. My guess is he took a wild guess as to which way you went he hit you with CnD which stealthed him; this would have told him that he hit you he then followed it up with a backstab right away. Also your attack chain will go through the motions if you happen to hit someone with auto attack wile they are in stealth. I do things like this all the time. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean you should stop attacking.

I am trying to figure out how you go from chaindazing to stealth 10 feet away. Like i said we would have to see the fight to understand better.

That is done a lot when with dagger offhand – thieves tend to feel safe in stealth and react more slowly to attacks coming at them when they are hidden – one auto to confirm location, cnd followed closely by backstab (or other moves).
I would recommend dodging or attacking right after stealthing otherwise you put yourself at great risk. Most people start to realize that after CnD the only thing that is changed in battle is that thief is simply not seen and can use stealth attack. Unless you work for it, nothing more.

I think this is what he did. I should have been more aggressive instead of backing off and healing up. Anyway, thanks for the help guys!
