Guild Wars 2

Hello… noob here… I would like to know how to remain in permanent stealth aka DAOC stealth classes… so far All i Find are skills that extend/enhance your stealth levels but dont really grant you permanent stealth…. yet so many other classes complain about perma stealth, Im wondering how perma-stealth can be achieved ?

By culling, mostly in WvW: it’s not a mechanic of the thief, it’s a problem of the graphic engine when managing a lot of models, the thief actually gets out of stealth BUT you see him getting out some time later (which can vary).

So thieves player learned how to exploit this problem, using stealthing skills at the right moment to be almost always invisible to others.

Troll-stealth comes from speccing 30 points into Shadow Arts and using Cloak and Dagger almost exclusively.

Basically, you gain the revealed debuff when you use a skill that breaks stealth, not when you leave stealth. So if you wait for stealth to blink off, then C&D just as is expires, you’ll immediately re-stealth. By timing this properly you can stay in stealth indefinitely, as long as there is someone around for you to punch every 4 seconds.

It’s an incredibly powerful point defense tactic.

Too bad cloak & dagger has a serious miss change especially in big/small grps when ppl move all the time. Take notes

@Ensign:

While it’s still possible to C&D repeatedly, it’s no longer possible to do it just as the timer runs out. There was a slight change to stealth which stops this from occurring. However, you can still do it about a second later.
