Guild Wars 2

Ok so I just want to double check something if I am understanding right.

When a theif goes to stealth, he is able to be hit by aoe, but is unable to be targeted directly. Also is it a misunderstanding of mine that while in stealth, you are not visible in any way shape or form to enemies?

Are these mechanics universal, meaning does it apply to PvE, WvW, and sPvP?

Stealthed entities (including theives, mobs with stealth, mesmers, or anyone effected by stealth through outside skills or environmental weapons) Are completely invisible to enemies, and can not be directly targeted, but can be hit and take damage from all attacks.

Attacks fired before the target stealthed that have any sort of seeking behavior will still seek to and hit the invisible stealther. In addition any skills with auto-seeking behavior (mostly skills that ricochet to multiple targets, after they hit the first target) will still auto-seek stealthed entities.

Finally, remember that most skills can be “blind fired” without a target, and these skills will still hit stealthed entities they collide with as well. This includes all melee, projectile, and aoe attacks. If you attack the location of a stealther, you will hit and deal damage to that stealther.

These mechanics are universal in PvP and PvE

Ok, then that means I discovered a bug. Great…
