Q:
Stealth Bugs?
If you damage your target with said skill of course it´ll unveil you. Thats how it always have been.
Ok maybe I didn’t make myself clear, I did no damage whatsoever and became unstealthed. So let me be clearer. Stealth→Infiltrators Stike→No Damage/Unstealthed→Attack=Bug?. ow with that said please don’t take this personal but Badicoot please do not troll this go back to Ranger.
wait what – i´m maining thief since ever o.O i have no clue about playing a ranger, seriously. Where did you get that from?
I´m trying it right now and wil post results.
EDIT: and no, it doesnt destealth me. neither Infiltrator´s Strike, nor Steal (if using without mug), Infiltrator´s Signet, Shadow Step, Heartseeker or Flanking Strike. You probably have exited your own or a friendly Shadow Refuge, or you got stealthed from a mesmer – when that wears of before your own stealth ends or vice versa, you get “visible” as in you lose the stealth texture, but the stealth buff still stays and your enemy still cannot see you.

Ok Anet I do not know if this was intentional, but if it was then gg for the ninja nerf but if not then please fix it ASAP. When I stealth and then use Infiltrator’s Strike or any Steal/Gap closer I become unstealthed… Is that intentional or a bug. I think alot of people would like to get some kind of answer, even if it is or not intentional, we would like to know either way,because it going to change the TOTAL playing style of the class. Tanks for your time.
Just to clear this up; you did receive the Revealed debuff?
I’m asking this because it has been since forever that when you use Infiltrators Arrow (SB #5) while in stealth, you will appear unstealthed, while your stealth still continues and other wont be able to see you.
^this is just an animation bug.
@ Bandicoot My bad didn’t mean to insult you in anyway shape or form, just irritated, because I wanted to learn the playing style of the thief so I better counter it, then ended up loving the style then the NERF. Ok with that being said yes I do have Mug traited however when I stealth then Infiltratos Strike to close the gap then steal Mugdeals no damage and I get unstealthed, but that was lastngiht let me go to PVP and check on the dummies.
When mug doesnt trigger it seems to be related to the recent introduced Steal bug. Any skill that moves you will make steal fail to activate its effects other than the teleport because of “out of range”. This is probably related to the stupid position check which they introduced three patches ago in order to prevent stealing from a target in range but physically not reachable (platforms, keep walls etc).
it will only work now if you steal right after activating such a skill. Activate steal when Heartseeker or Flanking Strike or infiltrators Strike casted halfway, then steal will fail. activate it even later and the skill will fail to connect as well.
@meryn: That bug has been fixed a long time ago, at least i cannot remember losing my stealthed texture while being stealthed after teleporting with Infiltrators Arrow, Steal or Shadow Step for a long long time now.

All I have to say is WOW Anet GG…. I hope this wasn’t intentional but if it was 3 patches ago then I guess it was. Any suggestions to skill play rotation for me then?
You can still use HS+Steal or FS+Steal. You just have to activate steal earlier than you´re probably used to, which of course may enable the enemy to dodge it easier. From what i have observed, CnD + Steal isnt impacted. If you teleport at all, that is… lost count of how many times steal actually does not even teleport or ports me, fails, and zaps me right back where i came from. Seriously ArenaNet, revert the change! Please.

Tested and comfirmed. Forget about my previous post ^^

Just to be clear, that has not been since forever, they added the ability to remain in stealth even after infil arrow probably 6 months ago, without even mentioning it in the patch notes, so it was kinda a stealth stealth fix, certainly not been in the game forever, I remember the days clearly when we did not have this ability and it was a huge buff to thieves when they added it.
Nope. It has always been just an animation bug. The stealth buff stayed up all the time, just the way you and your allies / group members see your character went from transparent to solid. The enemy could not see you at all.
