Q:

Is knockdown out of shadow refuge intended to make us instantly get revealed even if I have already built 6 seconds of stealth?

You will get revealed if you by any means leave area before 4 sec duration has expired.
You do not get revealed if (after) 4 seconds of shadow refuge passed. But quite often you will lose the stealth visual on your character without losing stealth buff from cc abilities.

Yes, my followup question is if thats intended or not?

That’s the current behavior, my question is if we know that this is in fact intended by ArenaNet or just a bug that people assume is just the intended behavior. The current behavior of it just seems a little odd to me which is why I’m asking

It was tweaked to be like that and I honestly don’t think it’s weird.

I believe it’s intended. It gives a short window of time for people to counter it with a knock-back if they are using a weapon set that has one. Mesmer’s greatsword#5 and focus#4 for instance counter SR. It’s a good thing because it’s a skill based reactionary counter.

When I use SR I, immediately go to one edge and roll to the other to counter this counter. Works 50% of the time at least.

Look, somebody (a programmer) actually took initiative and implemented code to drop stealth when we leave shadow refuge too soon.

If it was in reverse – stealth doesn’t drop if we leave shadow refuge shortly after entering it – that might be classified as “not intended”, because it would be OP (why would you even consider using blinding powder then?).

You can roll from one edge to the other.
