Q:

In this video, the two thieves are able to stack stealth to a total of 23 seconds. Sorry if this has been answered before, but is this still possible? The video is about 2 months old, but I just got the game 11 days ago. Not too sure if this still works?

A:

stealth cap is 15 seconds now, you can still chain stealths one after the other for longer stealths, just cant store more than 15 seconds worth.

Thanks. That was pretty much all I wanted to know.

May I ask when this was changed? I have a video of me putting 15 seconds of stealth on my engineer 2 months ago, by using smoke bomb and 5 blast finishers. Did it in the mists. Prior to that apparently you could get much longer, but they changed something. It’s 3 seconds per combo. One combo lasted at least 10 seconds in BWE2 in this video:

Someone else posted this screenshot of longer stealth a month ago:

that’s not true because i personally stack stealth on myself for 15 seconds. It’s possible to stay in stealth permanently, out of combat, i do it all day every day. One thief alone can do it, no need for two.

Mostly true, but the cap is 15~ seconds, you can easily test it by hitting Blinding Powder and Hide in Shadows while standing in a Shadow Refuge.

Grizledorf is also right that you can permastealth, you just have to keep adding on more stealth as it ticks off, you can’t “bank” more than 15 seconds.
