Well,

So i’ve always running a stealth thief. Now i have a stealth&heal&backstab build, so any stealth is my escape and rescue.

I’m using Shadow’s Embrace and Shadow’s Rejuvenation. I thought, there might be an issue with the traits not working propperly with healing and removing conditions and may kicks me out of stealth because of it?

But lately, i’ve noticed that i get far more often"immune" when using stealth skills. I noticed it because those were critical situations i needed my stealth to survive and just didn’t stealthed at all. Question is: why.

No, I do not have the revealed buff nore it run out just a second before.
I’m very much aware that you get the immune, when you have the revealed buff and it may has a little delay for 1 seconds because of latency when trying to stealth again.

I tested also the possibility of waterfields kicking me out of stealth. They do not and i don’t get immune to stealth, in fact. I noticed it might has something to do with conditions on me. While i have the "remove condition in stealth trait’ something seems to kick me out of stealth before removing more conditions and shows “immune” as well.

Am I’m not aware of a condition or skill/situation kicking you out of stealth, when hit by it? (excluding knowdowns out of shadowrefuge here). I repeat. Its not the revealed buff, also i tested if waterfields of the enemy/ally could cause it. Also negative.

The other thing that could be occurring is that you stealth while an attack you used is still travelling to the opponent, so hitting them reveals you. This could happen if, for instance, you shot with the shortbow, went into stealth, at which point the projectile hits the enemy and reveals you.

Other than that, it could easily be a last refuge issue. Or a ranger could hit you with sic em or something.

Very difficult to tell without video evidence though.

Other possibilities are that if you’re using sigil of air/fire the damage is proccing before the CnD, that’s a known issue apparently. Is it definitely not the visual bug, so you have the stealth buff but the game doesn’t render the stealth effect on your char?

Like others have said, it’s hard to tell without video since it could easily be a combination of any of the suggestions thus far.
