Guild Wars 2

I’ve seen Thiefs stealth entire group for long time. After reading about it I saw it is supposedly possible to stealth a group for 24 secs.
But after attempting this myself, I only manage about 10 secs.
So, which traits or skills should I use and how should I use them for prolonged area stealth?

A big tip is to use the shadow arts traitline, blast smoke fields with shortbow skill 3 (don’t explode it, just aim it at your feet and let it hit the ground for the blast finisher). You can blast black powder from the pistol and the Smoke Screen utility skill for stealth.

Also shadow refuge should help.

^SB skill 2 is clusterbomb. SB3 is the evading shot

if your party helops you just use pistol 5 to set smoke field and let them blast into.
if you wanna do it on your own, just combine bow blast, pistol field, smokescreen and sr, mb black powder. If you want you will never be seen anymore untill you attack something.

A Blast Combo into a Dark Field give invisibility. The more you blast that field, the longer you will remain invisible.

Kocoff.7582:

A Blast Combo into a Dark Field give invisibility.

Smoke, not Dark. Blast on Dark gives Area Blindness.

ˆ^ He is right.
Smoke Field + Blast Combo = Area Stealth.
