Guild Wars 2

I was messing around with this trap, and it seems like if I’m engaging the enemy, and I pop it, I’m automatically revealed. I can’t even get a backstab off. The 10 stacks of might are nice, though. Am I not using this properly?

I never touched this skill ever again after the nerf. But I think its supposed to stealth you. Perhaps you were already in stealth, which could bug the new stealth in some way.

Are you being revealed or is this the where a shadowstep in stealth makes you visible on your own display – but still in stealth.

He couldn’t get a backstab off so that shouldn’t be it

If you’re autoattacking someone, sometimes when I untarget and then shadowstep, it will port me over there, and give me a revealed debuff. It’s so weird. Try it on a golem in pvp. Put a trap down, do some auto attacks, then port. You’ll be revealed. I have to wait for a good .5 seconds before it works properly. It’s worse when I’m autoatttacking with pistol because I don’t get sneak attack.

This is another auto-targeting issue because as soon as you teleport to the marked opponent, you’re automatically attacking and dealing damage on arrival which blows your chance of a backstab and gives you a nice revealed debuff.

i dont touch it but maybe a select few places on the map for kittens and giggles . but i would not call a viable skill . u just can’t trust it
the teleport can be blocked by the slightest bump in the road or bush/tree lol

Really? In the mists, I put it down on a golem, ran the hell away, hid behind a wall and i was still able to teleport to them.
