Guild Wars 2

Some times when fighting bosses, my stealth, if it stealths everyone, with traits like “Last Refuge.” and “Shadow Refuge”, it resets the boss.

It makes thieves more of a detriment to the group, especially if I try and stealth rez someone, cloaking the entire group and the encounter resets.

We are already very low survivability in dungeons, we arn’t the best DPS, and we have almost no group utility.

The key to using those abilities is not to get your entire group in them.

But no other class in the game can bring such a detriment to your group.

And Last Refuge can activate regardless if you want it to or not.

I use both those skills over and over on bosses, SR is great because everyone gets a short period of health regen for every hit.

If the boss you are fighting resets because you used this skill your teammates are not paying attention properly. I’ve never had a boss reset mid fight due to these skills.
If it continues to be a problem I suggest backstabbing right away after you stealth that way the boss will never regen as aggro is continued…

Epic fail if all stand this close to you for last refuge to trigger IMHO.
It is just a l2p issue if you ask me. No need to p off your group when you stealth them all in a boss fight. Also you usually use shadow refuge to go and rezz someone..if all run in and rezz there’s a need for more communication.

Stealth is possibly the strongest anti-AI tool in the game.
You can safely rez players that would otherwise die, even self-rez, and remove aggro from people who would otherwise die.

Of course it comes with the downside that stealthing all the team leads to boss reset.
If you could just stealth your whole group and heal it up while the boss won’t reset it would be even more OP.

Seriously don’t even try saying this. We’re already lucky that stealth makes PvE a joke, we don’t want Anet to make it too OP and then nerf it to the ground don’t we?

It takes a good few seconds for a boss to begin resetting.

If Last Refuge or Shadow Refuge somehow stealths the entire group and nobody is attacking ie. everyone just stops because they’re stealthed, you deserve to have the encounter reset on you.
