Guild Wars 2

Trait: Hidden Thief

I spend 20 trait points for this trait that should stealth me when I use stealth which the class was named after and the trait only works 1/3 to 1/2 of the time. It is no fun to count on being stealth in WvW and my trait not working correctly.

Time to time Hide in Shadows does not stealth you it just heals you.

Do others have these issues I doubt it it is just me.

There is an internal cooldown on stealth. IIRC it’s 1.5 seconds. If you use an ability that is supposed to stealth you during that cooldown it will fail (but the other part(heal) will work).

I think this is what’s happening to you, I have seen no issues with it not going off on either ability.
