Possible or Hack?
how long was he stealthing for?
what weapon set?
did he use the same attack everytime or was it different kinds?
if you Cloack and dagger at the very moment stealth ends you go back in stealth.
need more info to help
Prob d/p it is possible but not right after attack.. you got reveal for 4 secs..http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Revealed
i honestly don’t know. it was so fast. he would appear in a flash then be gone again. he was stealthed for about 10-12 seconds sometimes before he would strike then be gone instantly
he was definitely immune to the reveal mechanic.
He could have just been running an initiative regen build with dagger offhand and spamming CnD. My best guess.
CnD doesn’t even work properly for me lol. It never grants stealth.
Probably a D/P + X/D. D/P to stay in stealth when need be, and timing CnD to hit just as stealth wears off with the X/D set.

This.
Or he could have been using sword and teleporting all over god’s green earth

There’s an AoE at the point of IS, and Shadow Return now has a range limit. I highly doubt that he was using sword teleport.
There also has to be LoS in order to teleport.

You can’t just spam it. You have to wait for the stealth to wear off, typically after 3s, then use it again. Never use it while in stealth, else you’ll get revealed.
A simple combination of traits like “Infusion of Shadow” and “Hastened Replenishment” will allow you to troll with CnD.

PvE – DD/CS/AC – If that didn’t work, roll a Reaper or Revenant.

The key word is troll, you can only do mediocre dps like that, but you make yourself more survivable…people like to do this in zergs in wvw too. In a small scale battle, you become very predictable…where’s the thief? Well probably right behind you. You can guess where that thief is, and probably outdps him with your autoattack.
There is no revealed debuff if you don’t come out of stealth with an attack. So you can permanently C&D with a single trait to reduce costs of that skill. That means one attack every 3s (or 4s when traited with +1s stealth time). Doesn’t need a specific build at all.
Inactive: Guardian, Elementalist, Ranger, Thief (ex-main)
Leveling: Engineer, Necromancer
He was constantly using Cloak and Dagger, only being visible for a brief moment (read: not coming out of Stealth with an attack and thus being Revealed).
we all began as something else
ok did he become visbile THEN attack or attack while he was invis? we cant answer unless we know that
From what I’ve read it seems he was probably doing the CnD troll build. He would disappear immediately after striking so it must be CnD then he would be gone for 3 seconds plus then appear again to just stealth instantly.
So I understand now, thanks everyone for the breakdown.
The CnD troll setup is useful for taking siege out if you’re in an enemy fortification alone. I had a thief destroy the AC I was using. I wasn’t sure what was happening at first.
doing CND spaming everytime you exit stealth SHOULDNT be enough to kill anyone….just annoy the crap out of bad players.
the only reaosn i say bad players is bc all u have to do is dodge every 5 secs
