Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this is a bug, or works as intended. But in SilverWastes, thieves are in a bad spot.

Okay so to start from the beggining. I’m maining a thief, play quite a lot of SW like 50% of my GW2 time is in SW.

I noticed something annoying, First we have the TeraGriffs that when they don’t knock you back and damage you(when you fall behind them) have the other attack, they stick the big horn thingys in the ground and sens some…light attack that damages you and even stuns. Yes i know you can dodge them, but only 2 times one after another, and if there happens to be more than one teragriff, well sucks to be a Thief with low hp and low defense. As a thief you can’t stealth and get rid of those attacks, they FOLLOW YOU while in STEALTH.

Husks have the same thing, but they are slow and not really a problem, unless you have few other mobs around you.

Trashers, what’s with the japanese tentacle thingy. The roots that just pop up right under you… Same thing… those things follow you arround while in stealth.

Is this thing working as intended? anyone else having the same problems? As a thief i can’t stealth in a fight to avoid the underground attacks and it’s quite annoying. They already do a huge deal of damage, one poisons you, one stunts you one knocks you up all the way to the stars…

Yes i love the map, i love the dificulty but it’s annoying that i can’t use my class to it’s full potential, with stealth and i’m punished for having low def/hp. And NO i’m not running a glass cannon full zerker build.

So bug? they forgot about thieves? is this how it is supposed to be? Cause i worry about the HoT expansion…When i think about every single mob in Maguma Jungle being able to completly ignore my stealth…makes me shiver.

I guess the reason for continuing attacks on you while stealthing is because these are channelizing attacks and so it doesn’t loose aggro while going into stealth. That’s the same like starting a channelizing attack on an opponent in pvp. Even if the player is stealthing your channelizing attack will proceed until it is finished. The only thing you can do is to interrupt the attack and then go to invisibility.

Other classes with low hp have the same problems in SW. For you as a thief I would even say you have a little advantage against that horn casting mobs. Just interrupt them and they will stop this attack. You have many interrupt skills like the pistol offhand.

Ohh…it does make sense…never actually made a comparison between PvP and PvE regarding this thing.
I guess i’ll have to adapt my PvE style a bit for SW…

Run condi. problem solved
