Guild Wars 2

The thief fired on me 3 times shortbow and still invisible.

i can only saw where the arrows came from, and then he become visible about 500 feets away from the “arrows firing location”

how the thief do so?

Thieves can fire a Choking Gas are poison field from Stealth without being revealed because it only deals condition damage (and typically not very much).

But he probably wasn’t spaming it and it can’t have caused a lot of damage.

The other explanation might be culling if there was a crowded situation. The game is having real problems managing a large number of players on screen and often doesn;t display them until they’re really close.

The 3 hits was the ult 1 SB autoattack, and it was a 1V1 case.

I have a 80 thief too and play a lot in wvw, i really dont understand how he can do so.

Yes after last patch that kitten happens even in non zerg situation. Many times I bump into single players that were invisible.

haste + render delay ?
or maybe he was a ranger with “Hide in Plain Sight” and Rapid Fire.

Shortbow skill 1 is replaced by a weak immobilize arrow while in stealth. Ergo, the thief wasn’t in stealth when he attacked you. Must be a case of culling going wrong.
