Just a random proposal for either a trait in Shadow Arts or (preferably) a baseline togglable option for the Thief as a whole.

When a Thief stays completely motionless, its form grows almost invisible (like seeing yourself or a friendly in Stealth). Its nametag and map icon also disappear. The thief, however, is not actually Stealthed, so it can still be targeted. And also, it will not gain the benefits of Stealth, but it will be able to contest/capture points.

It may not be much, but it would give a little help to a Thief. It would give it some advantage in ambushing players who are not paying attention.

Perhaps make it take 3 seconds of standing motionless to fade completely.

It will become OP in WvW : hide in a corner of an allied tower, when the enemy take that tower,wait for them to leave and you can just go kill the champion.

That’s actually why my Bandit Spec idea has a stance that had a limited duration which could be canceled by either taking damage or using any skill.

Just let Stealth Distruptor Traps cancel it out. In fact, Revealed should disallow the effect also.
