Guild Wars 2

Everyone will be kittening about the shadow arts trait, but the steal line of sight change is HUGE. I wonder if people will actually run something other than infiltrator signet now. I doubt it though, since it has such great synergy with the steal item skills.

Can you explain what the kitten you are talking about for the benefit of the people who aren’t watching the stream?

Steal will not work when an enemy is behind an object.

Dahkeus, actually it doesn’t work now when behind an object. They are changing it to remove the LoS. So you can blackpowder behind an object, heartseeker + steal to them and still gain all the goodies from that steal as long as you’re in 900 range. One of the main reasons why so many thieves bring Infiltrator signet is because it doesn’t have any Line of Sight issues. You can be on clocktower point, have someone targeted outside of the clocktower, and infiltrator signet to them. Now you will be able to do that with your steal skill and have it proc all of its boons. It’s a big change. Huge.
