Guild Wars 2

Ninja nerf by anet?

I truly hope they messed up that 10 seconds line and it is still 3 .

It still works as before. Im guessing its an error in the tooltip. I dont really know.

oh praise jesus

No, praise Josh Davis.

This is a tooltip error. It still works correctly at 3 second intervals.

Thank you for confirming this is a typo, was pretty hard to believe.. it would have a huge impact on thief.

A red post!

I hope this is correct, and this interval never changes. I was paranoid, because I ran this in my build. This is like our only decent source of condition removal, and helps us handle most condition classes. Making it once per second every 10 seconds is unreasonable.

You…you!

Got me so worked up…phew. Consider yourself lucky. I’m gonna put down the pitch fork and torch now.

I was freaking too…whew! Just tested it to verify it’s still an every 3 second condi cleanse while in stealth and it is (2 conditions on me, enter 3 second stealth and at the end both are removed). I’ll say again whew!

There are reports that it is now removing s condition for every leap through P #5 BP now, could anyone confirm this?

If that is true, then it would also stand to reason that every pulse from Shadow Refuge would proc it as well. It could be that “entering” stealth is triggered every time. Worth looking into.

Stealth from any method triggers Shadow’s Embrace…as always.

well, i guess it’s not a total fail patch if it is just the tool tip

Every thiefs use this trait. The best condition removal in the game and its only in adept tier. Broken.
Very unbalanced. Its making the thiefs immortal for the most condi builds.

10 seconds interval is insane but i think this skill should move to higher tiers.
For example:
5secs interval and master tier or 3secs interval grandmaster tier.

Yeah, let’s kitten up our only condi removal. Because beside stealth we have loads of defence and condi clear. Idk what areas are you talking about but this trait is onyl used in WvW so not every Thief uses this. Could be used in s/tPvP but anything in Shadow Arts compared to Trickery is inferior since stealth doesn’t decap or prevent decaps.

Necromancer forum is that way

Cleansing Ire is the best actually. Its possible to cure 3 conditions every 7 seconds granted the Warrior has max Adrenaline and his burst hits.

Did you have to necro this thread?

Oh please don’t take away our main way to remove conditions pretty much so squishy even with this I do take a fair amount of conditional damage and if this was increased by a few seconds long live the thief class in only memories.

I laughed. By itself, Shadow’s Embrace is very lackluster. At most you spend 3 seconds in stealth, meaning 2 conditions removed. Yes you can keep entering stealth, but conditions are applied faster than it cures them. Unless you’re also using Shadowstep, Sword mainhand, or the Signet of Agility, the trait won’t save you from anybody using heavy conditions in WvW or sPvP (which is almost everybody).

You are right, to a certain degree. With the cleanse done by this trait, it might not help much, but it is better to have less conditions like bleeding, than to have them. This game make or break a fight, for me anyways.

This thing might be good in WvW, but in tpvp it’s quite subpar to other traits you can pick up. Trickery far outweights every benefit you could get from traiting that deep in SA. So yeah, you are wrong.
