Guild Wars 2

With no way to really detect people in stealth, besides swinging randomly, stealth really is just an invincibility bubble, rather than a stealth mechanic. There’s no real risk or sneakiness to being in stealth, since you can just reactivate it 3 seconds later. I think we really need to remove the aspect of stealth being just another Shadow Form, and making it an actual stealth mechanic.

The suggestion is that when a invisible thief comes too close of the enemy he turns visible (or maybe semi-visible, like allies see a thief while in stealth). Think about a small radius (130 – 160) around the character on where the thief appears when enters it.

Invisibility is not invulnerability by a long shot. Except in troll land I suppose.

I love how my bubble can protect me from warrior/mesmer/elem spike dmg.
every time i go invis i stop taking 2k warrior gs swings)
or 17k elem fire grab combo.
and you know why its true? coz my invis+ movement is faster than common combos after knokdown

Funny stuff as over half the thieves I kill I do so while they are in stealth.

You do realize we thieves still take damage while in stealth, right?

If you are randomly swinging your hammer around not thinking, that is your fault, not ours.

Pro Tip: A stealthed thief will be trying to get behind you. Make him work his kitten kitten to get there.

That’s is a fail thief then lol, I will never try to go behind you after I do my 1st combo, I can easily get behind you with shadowstep->steal that’s how you can easily surprise any target after I just play evade, stealth & bleed to kill him/her slowly

This happens to me too. A lot of (bad) thieves think they are safe or just move as expected an take c&d and bs … i always have to call my friends in TS saying “he’s here!” while i’m swinging at a downed hidden thief and they are moving around like flies.
