Guild Wars 2

Hi, I am having trouble with Hidden thief. I have switched to this trait because I am using P/P interrupt build.

My issue is that unless I open with this, I always seem to steal, get in stealth, then immediately lose stealth and get revealed.

I think maybe it has to do with auto-attack but I have tested it a lot and it fails 75% of the time if i don’t use it as an opener and perhaps more than that versus other players.

Any ideas?

Could be a lot of reasons, might be an auto attack,

Or maybe your double tapping your steal, causing you to use the item, which in most cases is an attack, it can happen pretty fast so you might not have notice it, especially during a fight.

Another reason could be if you fire your pistol and steal before the bullet hits the target ( travel time comes effect), then you will get revealed, you can notice this on the shortbow better,

“Or maybe your double tapping your steal, causing you to use the item, which in most cases is an attack, it can happen pretty fast so you might not have notice it, especially during a fight.”

I am not.

It could be the second thing. Perhaps it’s just timing

Test this on the golems with auto attack turned off and then see if you can repeat it consistently.

It has been an issue for as long as I remember which is one if the reasons that nobody takes that trait.

hidden thief works fine.
you are doing something wrong.
bullet fired —- steal + stealth —- bullet hits —- revealed.
