Legendary thief?
anyone know this answer to this
I’ve not experienced this myself, but I was talking to a mesmer that whined a bit about his footsteps showing up while invisible. My own take on legendaries is “two-handed only”. It’s a lot of work for a flashy skin can’t be seen because it’s hidden under your gear.
This counts for about 1% of the reason I play mesmer as my main. I can get a fun legendary (greatsword) that will actually be seen and won’t seriously negatively affect my play by making me too visible. More visible actually would help a mesmer in many WvW situations — assuming the clones hold the weapon, too. If they don’t it would be, uh, bad. ^^
I’m sure it’d defeat the purpose of Thief stealth, having your footsteps light aflame. Mind you, I don’t have it yet, so I can’t be certain.
Do minipets reveal thief positions?
No the incinerator does not show footprints while stealth. I used shadow refuge in wvw at times and no one ever followed me.
I personally am not even bothering with any of the current legendaries for my thief. They all pale in comparison to the greatswords.
No you do not see the footprints if he is in stealth. Well from what i saw when i fought against one
I’m almost certain that it doesn’t. I hope not, since I got Zap today and hope to finish it soon.

Up to now 1 “yes” , 2 “no”, lots of “don’t know”.
I’m sure an official answer will be appreciated.
It will be a little frustrating to spend almost 1000golds in a skin that will broke the class.
^!! right? I appreciate what everyone is saying but is there anywhere to find out for sure?
i have seen a legandary theif dagger it look amazing it like a giant white light saber it only light up when you attack.
I am curious myself, I hope any thief with a legendary can answer with few screen shot.
Btw, would it make more sense to create Incinerator (since you can either be your main or offhand) instead of Bolt?

Also incinerator skin > bolt

mm For the bolt, i think the sword is pretty alright.. Wasn’t fond of it but it’s growing onto me. But!!! the lightning aura is so dam sexy!! You’ll definitely get recognition if you’re a good thief. But it depends if you like to play sword as a thief though.
Short answer to solve your concerns with WvW.. Temporarily switch out your legendaries for ordinary exotic weapons… Problem Solved
I have bolt and mostly WvW solo. I am told you can see my footsteps while im stealthed (I know I can). It has not mattered one bit. There has never been a fight where I noticed them following me due to footsteps. The other thing is, if you are trying to escape or something you will probably have shortbow out…. so no footsteps then regardless.
First of all
Bolt > Inci
Bolt just so damn sexy !
Anyway, OT: I’ve got Inci for well over a month now and i have never been followed when i was stealthed in WvW, im very very sure that the enemy cannot see the footsteps when ur thief is in stealth.
You can use the dagger in more viable builds than the sword though. I was thinking about Bolt until sword/dagger took a massive hit last patch.
I have an incinerator and I WvW with it. The enemy are unable to see any lava trails while I am stealthed, I have -never- been followed or had anyone directly home in on me or otherwise – those on my team however, can still see the lava even when stealthed, which lets be honest, doesn’t matter.
I’m told the enemy can see my lava trails when I am not using stealth, if they can, this hasn’t once been a single disadvantage to me.
