Guild Wars 2

Star.8401:

Thank you DHawk and Spirit for proving that no thread can ever have constructive criticism or productive discussion because two people can’t let their interweb egos go and believe their own selfish opinions are the only right ones.

Bravo for proving just how useless GW2 forums can be.

I never said that my opinion is the only right one, i was just sick and tired of hearing ppl complain about a class they, by the looks of it, don’t even play and are just mad because they aren’t able to counter it.
All I’ve been trying to do is set wrong information in the right direction

why was this NOT fixed on last hotfix patch?

DHawk.2687:

if you don’t even know how much stealth you can gain from SR you certainly aren’t a so called stealth user, so stop your bsing
FYI with the added second trait SR will give you 16sec, not 20
plus if you cannot knockback a thief out of hit or just simply kill him within that’s your problem, killing a thief is easy as hell!
even more now post patch

From the moment you stealth, when you first use SR, to the moment stealth ends (traited) it is 20 seconds. Jump in game and count it. I will accept that the last 16 seconds are easier to maintain and more effective at hiding your location than the first 4 seconds, but that doesn’t change that fact that the total amount of traited stealth from SR is 20 seconds.

that doesn’t help you one bit, beacause you cannot fully utilize those 4 seconds since you NEED to stay in the AOE field or else you will loose stealth and be revealed
and since everyone can see the field it just screems “hey I’m a sitting duck kill me pls” if you use it inside of combat or when trying to escape ( I’m not saying you are supposed to use it that way)
Meaning, you only have 16 sec at your disposal, the 4 seconds don’t contribute to the overall efektivness of the stealth

Or you can just not rely completely on Shadow Arts. I haven’t used that trait line since the patch, and I’m actually doing far better. Way more damage, same amount of escape. Shadow Arts is such a crutch and should only be relied on by the newer players.

what weaponset do you play? I’d guess DP
