Guild Wars 2

This mechanic is just terribad imo. Balance stealth some other way…

I actually agree with this, although I know a lot of people won’t. Revealed was the worst nerf for thieves & that’s saying a lot.

Revealed is fine as it is the players choice whether to take the debuff or not (of course backstab is probably almost always better, but thats not true for all weaponsets). Last refuge is not; it should not be a minor adept trait, and swapped with the appropriate major.

No revealed should stay ingame.

BTW:
I find revealed is to short and let the most play only with stealth. BUT as long as the other traits, like acrobatic and trickery, are so weak that they are most time useless and the thiefs attributs dont reach a value to compensate our nonexisting deff, I cant see any chance that we can have effective build, who are not addicted from stealth.

No, keep revealed.

I think Revealed in general is fine, but there are still some balance issues surrounding both it and Stealth in general, like Last Refuge and Smoke Bomb still being totally useless. How have they gone so many months without addressing that?

/points to Rangers

That’s how.
Personally I have no problem with revealed. Maybe if they made it so Last Refuge’s Stealth had no revealed?
