Guild Wars 2

Am I reading it wrong, or does the Patience trait grant 1 initiative every 10 seconds? i.e. It’s “Quick Recovery” or Infiltrator’s Signet, but only happens while stealthed?

I apologize if there are topics on this, but the word patience doesn’t exactly bring in narrow search results. Maybe I just didn’t look hard enough, but in any case…

What’s the point of this trait? You can’t maintain stealth for long, and unless I’m ignorant to some huge exploit after the nerf to Infusion of Shadow (did that also affect Hidden Assassin, by the way? I build might stacks, but not per application of stealth, simply every few seconds while stealthed)

I don’t get it, I suppose. I’m running Infusion of Shadow regardless because regaining 2 initiative every time I use Cloak and Dagger seems way, way more useful than regaining 1 initiative every 10 seconds when I’m only stealthed for ~20 seconds at a time, tops, and by way of stacking Shadow Refuge, Hide in Shadows, Blinding Powder/Heartseeker, and whatever other cooldowns grant stealth.

it MIGHT work like the condi removal…. in the sense it activates 1 when u enter…then again after the said timing.

for instance….. remove 1 condition on stealth every 3 secs. you remove 1 when u enter…and another 3 secs later.

im guessing you get stealth then +1 init….then again 10 secs later if u stay in stealth or reenter.

GUESSING! im nto sure bc ive never tried the crap trait.

It only takes affect after being in stealth for 3 seconds, and every 3 seconds after. If you enter stealth it wont take immediate affect, if that helps.

That’s odd. The tooltip is wrong, then?

Probably the same thing that happened with the condition removal tooltip when they made them more helpful/accurate, but no one uses it so it hasn’t been brought to their attention.
