Guild Wars 2

Huh. Well cnd always stealths me when I hit with it. It is hard to hit with at first, but with practice it’ll get easier. That’s all the advice I can really give.

I’ve played thief in wvw for about 12 hrs total now , and i can tell you the only reason i ever die is when i miss those CnDs , whoever said blind is your worst enemy they sure as kitten were correct lol…2 of those cnd misses and im just ele with no boons / attunements…maybe off subject but NOW i understand the qq behind Last Refuge..omgwtfbbq

It sounds to me that you’re not aware of the revealed debuff. When you come out of stealth after attacking, you get ‘revealed’, which lasts 3 seconds on WvW (4 seconds pvp). During that time you cannot stealth.

If that’s not the problem, just…practice. CnD has a wind-up delay of about 0.5 of a second after you click the skill to when it hits.

Could also be lag.

Your enemies also may have aegis or dodge.

You can practice but running up to ambients and hitting CnD before you reach them. It will give you an idea of how much delay you need to account for.

That said, missing a CnD can be fatal. With the trait to give you 2 initiative on stealth, CnD is cheap when you’re on, but a miss can leave you depleted of initiative and a sitting duck.
