Guild Wars 2

It struck me last night that Hide in Shadows removes all damage-over-time conditions (burning, poison, bleed), but not (the newly added) torment condition.

I wonder if this is simply a case of A-net not thinking to modify the HiS since torment was introduced, or if it will remain missing from the list of conditions that HiS can heal.

Thoughts?

I could well be a case of them forgetting about it. They forgot to apply the Necromancer Terror bonus on targets affected by Torment.

Heck, maybe we don’t get that Deadly Arts 25 trait bonus on targets affected by Torment too.

I thought that it should be removed with Hide in Shadows too.

Yea it should but anet doesn’t care about thieves. We are doomed to be neglected because of qqing noobs!

>_< Yes, it’s clearly thief neglect that we were one of the first to get this new condition, and are the only ones that have it twice. ArenaNet should wear platemail gauntlets when feeding us, because we don’t just bite the hand, we go for the artery.

It’s likely an oversight, and I’m sure far from the only one. Either HiS or Withdraw (since it could be viewed as a mobility condition) should probably remove it. As a mobile class, we’ll probably get an extra counter at some point. Pointing it out is a good first step towards that. Until then, we thankfully have Shadow’s Embrace.

Potent heal, gain regen, remove three conditions and gain stealth. How rookie friendly do you want this class to be?

Should remove torment too. +1

It’s so potent it heals like 50% of how much healing surge heals.

+1, seems like an oversight for sure and I’m surprised it wasn’t fixed last patch.

I agree that it should remove torment.

+1, It would be good to hear officially one way or the other.

Which activates first, HiS cleansing damaging conditions or the condition cleanse on stealth?

That’s a good question. Some of the pirates in Lornar’s Pass (and probably other areas) apply both torment and poison. That might be a good place to test it.
