Guild Wars 2

We all know stealth is getting nerfed but what is on my mind are the bugs we still have relating to stealth. If they are willing to nerf stealth at least fix what is wrong with it.

1. Fleet Shadow there is no reason for a person to be able to outrun us if we are stealth in combat unless they use a movement skill. Even if they have swiftness they shouldn’t be able to move as faster or faster than us if we have this trait. Please make it the proper 50% while in battle also.

2. Backstab I have literally had this skill miss at point blank range against a mob standing still. The accuracy is messy and should be fixed.

3. Meld with Shadow works but when you use a smoke field to apply stealth it wont trigger the extra second. Same with shadow refuge and shadow trap .

4. Hidden Thief …sigh so many bugs including not applying when using certain traits or a main hand pistol.

5. Shadow Protector doesn’t stack with itself or other regens.

What really kitten es me off is that these bugs have been around forever and a kittening day. At the very least fix these while you nerf us because it should have been done a long time ago.

well number 3 with smoke fields is probably intended, it does say stealth skills last longer not stealth in total, stealth from comboing isn’t technically stealth from a skill.

Read the second sentence as both of those are skills. And since it requires skills to stealth either way it should apply. At the very least clarification would be in order until then its a bug.

hence why I specifically stated I was talking about smoke fields, I didn’t not read the rest I was just making a point about that SPECIFIC part :P

Infusion of Shadow returns 2 init when using a “skill” to stealth. Yet it works for both leap and blast combos. I see no reason why Meld with Shadows shouldnt.

Yeah you are right didn’t think of that. Good point.

Infusion of shadow returns +2 init “using a skill that stealths you.” Meld with shadows, however, affects “stealth skills.” A clear semantic difference, and working as intended.

Sigh..

The focus of this thread is not this one bug or misinformation. Further more the “semantics” of first sentence “Gain 2 initiative when using a skill that stealths you.” is singular as in one skill. All combos that stealth require 2 skills. Furthermore if we get into the semantics a stealth skill is a skilled used from stealth and not one that provides it. Lets not play this game please it is a little childish wouldn’t you agree?

“working as intended” unless you are a developer you don’t know that I would like clarification from A net.

Do’t hold your breath on that one. Anet hasn’t posted in here in how long? Let alone answer 1 question
