Guild Wars 2

My video explains and shows why you won’t be able to stealth again in combat (revealed), and how to resurrect your teammates in tournament with shadow refuge. In addition to this, you should watch how I line of sight my enemies and dodge the trebuchet, and adopt those skills for yourself. I also included a good bit of quality tournament footage, with some pug footage in between. I hope you enjoy this video, and as always, I’m open to any suggestions for Thief Tricks of the Trade Part 2 (coming soon).

Revealed:

• Stealth condition that will not allow you to re-stealth for 3 seconds
• Applied to character if an attack is landed on an opponent while in stealth
• Can be avoided easily if no attack is made during the full duration of stealth

Shadow Refuge:

• Powerful tournament resurrection tool
• Stealths teamates in circle for up to 12 seconds, as long as they don’t leave the circle or land an attack on an enemy
• Tell your teamates when you are placing Shadow Refuge, so they won’t attack or attempt to knock down opponents who are trying to finish them
• Won’t be able to stealth in area if Revealed is applied to character

Ah, so that is the revealed mechanic. I kept running into it with one of my builds, but never took the time to figure out exactly what was happening.

Yep, always be sure to wait till the stealth is fully up to cloak and dagger again so you can re-enter stealth immediately. you can basically permanently stay invisible while finishing an opponent

Does anyone have any questions about this thread or any other thief related pvp matters? I’m ready to make another instructional video. Some topics I’ve considered covering are character placement in tournaments, and counter classes 1v1
