Guild Wars 2

Hey guys!

I was playing with my thief last night and went in fractals with a guild group. I invited my guild leader again but he started nagging about Shadow Refuge and other stealth skills.
We had the discussion before.
He says that there is a bug in the game which makes pve mobs reset if you stealth EVEN when other party members attack. I used Shadow Refuge on myself and a downed teammember in the Captain Ashym bossfight and started nagging again.
I tried to clarify that mobs and bosses only reset when either the whole party except stealthed thief is dead or when everyone hops in stealth and doesn’t attack or is out of range.

My question to you guys: Have you noticed bosses and mobs resetting while you had aggro as a thief, stealth and wait while other members attacked the mobs?

I know I haven’t

Just appreciate any experience!

Just a couple threads below yours.
Basicly the same thing.

I read it before and still decided to make this thread. The question I am asking if people experienced boss resets while 1 thief stealthed and the rest kept attacking. I do not see that question in the thread you linked

The only occurrence I have seen of a total boss reset (which I would count as the boss returning to the original position it started in and healing to maximum) is when the entire party is stealthed and nobody has aggro. This should be the only case where the boss would reset. Therefore, as long as the entire party is not stealthed, dead, or otherwise out of combat, then the boss will not reset.

That’s exactly what I thought and know so far…I cannot find any hint to the ‘stealth bug’ my guild leader fiercely talked about in our discussion.

Thanks for the response Fuinir, I hope others will share their experience aswell!

Fuinir is spot on Undeadkemea.

Unless every single person in your party decides “hey the thief stealthed us, let’s stop attacking and let the boss reset like a buncha idiots” a boss will never reset due to stealth mechanics.

Thanks for responding ReeferKeeper! Exactly what I have been thinking. I’ll use this as proof for my discussion Thanks

Aside from a few very rare occasions with Lupicus I don’t recall a boss resetting because of Stealth unless there was no other target attacking him/in range.

This has happened to me a few times, but they were all when fighting Lupicus in phase 1. Stealth is extra buggy on him, but outside of those encounters I’ve never had a problem with enemy reset on stealth.

Hmmm I will test that lupicus part, interesting! Thanks!
