Guild Wars 2

You can put away your torches and pitchforks now, lol!

Wait…nevermind…Shadows Refuge lasts longer, but we’re still getting revealed at the end of stealth, lol.

im pretty sure that was intended. the reveal out of shadow refuge was bugged. they’ll probably announce this.

Judging by the wording on the patch notes, I can’t say that I agree:

“Fixed a bug with stealth that was improperly placing the Revealed effect on players every time it was removed.”

edit New hotfix and it’s fixed for real now. =)

well being Im still downloading the patch now I dont know how someone else has downloaded and tested it out.

they would put it on patch notes then, it is rather big change… especially for dagger thieves and mesmers

Well just logged in an no reveal. Its fixed.

still need to check 2 other bugs:
- when you are in stealth and interract with something, it reveals you
- the more attacks hit you the shorter is stealth

inb4 non thieves cry about anet breaking stealth/ wanting the “fix” back

T_T I’m a non thief and I want the “fix” back.

yeah you should have seen all those dead players in dungeons i couldn’t stealth today lol

hmmmm…

so <mug> trait (which deals damage on steal) in power line, cannot be used in synergy with <hidden Thief> (which stealth you on steal) in the shadow arts line anymore.
It just gives you an instant reveal instead.

I’m kinda sad , the additional <mug> added to the pressure of the steal attack.

welp <corrosive trap> is kind of an alluring trait too huehuehue

PRO TIP: Don’t use hidden thief. It’s garbage. CnD and then hit steal. you’ll stealth.

yeah I figured that much. I’m experimenting some builds right now. I’ve never really relied on stealth before but it ended up in a viable but boring build in the long run.
That’s why I wasn’t that knowladgeable before.

mug + hidden thief never worked together? Mate, I dont know which game are u playing, but it is not gw2. Of course they worked, I have used the combination of these two traits for months. But now is not working anymore, u get revealed once the damage from mug triggers, wasting the hidden thief trait. My question is: Is this still a remaining bug and will be fixed or it is now working as intended?

I tried to use those two traits together on three different occasions since starting this game 2 weeks after release. There were instances were it worked and instances where it didnt, but it didnt work consistently enough to warrant using it. I just tried it two seconds ago, and as already stated and without surprise, it doesnt work.

Not to mention how terrible of a choice it is to actually use those two traits in combination with one another in the first place.

People not realizing that the stealth on steal trait will be used a lot after hot are funny.

This needs to be a priority fix ladies

Descent of Shadows: Master V: Release a blinding powder when you steal or take falling damage. You take 50% less damage from falling.

In your defense its not the easiest thing to pick out

Stealth on steal is not even close to being the same as “release blinding powder” on steal.

It may appear that way, but they are not the same.

Look at it this way;

Steal —> BP = Steal —> Hidden Thief + Cloaked in Shadow

Steal —> BP = Steal --> Hidden Thief + Cloaked in Shadow

except that its not equal to hidden thief + cloaked in shadow, its equal to hidden thief + a blind. cloaked in shadow is a blind everytime you stealth, which is not at all what this trait does

I don’t foresee this trait functioning any different than the current bug. There’s no way that BP+Mug is going to end up in anything but a reveal. Its going to be a blind+mug.
