Guild Wars 2

Very simple to do and very rewarding if used with a friend.

What you need:
2 Thieves
Hide in shadows
Blinding Powder
Smoke Screen
Dagger mainhand

What you do:
Use Hide in shadows and blinding powder every time they are off cool down. Take turns using Smoke screen with you duo buddy in combination with heart seeker to stack the combo field stealth on yourself.

THAT’S IT!!!

Here’s a forum post in the WvWvW section of it being used to duo cap towers.

You can see the smoke screen on the ground so try to find a spot where a passerby isn’t going to stumble upon it easily. We took shadow refuge to use as a fall back but it isn’t needed (I almost never take it off my bar).

Good luck and have fun capping, trolling, or whatever it is you can come up with

You really think this matters? Any class can take towers if the wall is busted down.

Making an unlimited stealth build is more of a detriment then anything, the players you were fighting really weren’t paying attention to you, and they payed the price for it.

You realize the wall wasn’t down? The point is to be able to wait inside of a tower unnoticed until you can recap it. It’s to counter zergs…

If they didn’t notice the huge house, then they simply weren’t paying attention.

Really? like seriously?

This is like posting how to get 25 stacks of might indefinitely.

What you do is equip a short bow and put at least 25 points in Shadow arts put 20 points in acrobatics for the boon duration.

Then get the omnom pies for 40% boon duration. Then you go in shadow refuge build up stacks of might. Then have your friend cast ring of fire and cluster bomb blast field the ring each giving you 3 stacks per blast. Make sure you have power of inertia and roll around alot. Hide in shadows too and blinding powder.

Thats it rinse and repeat. o.O

If the people in the tower didnt see the big cloud of smoke from smoke screen then I doubt they would have seen the thieves if they just stood there.

That has happened before as well. People really give others too much credit in this game when it comes to the common skill level.

I am guessing that you do not play a lot of WvW. What typically happens is that enemies will come into your territory and take a tower. Now it isn’t possible to defend everything so most of the zerg then leaves to move onto other objectives. A thief or 2 can remain hidden and recap once the champ buffs wear off.

Nice work by the professor.

Agreed, paying attention and wvw doesn’t go hand in hand.
Even when some of them did pay attention, a zerg doesn’t listen to anyone but their precious commander (I dislike running in a zerg). A few loners in the videos stayed at the keep, and they were killed.

This is a good vid though wouldn’t a shortbow clusterbomb work as good? Cause I’m a s/d thief and I would hate to take out my favored weapon for the mainhand dagger again.

Maybe. I always run behind the lord and BS over and over again anyways. S/D doesn’t deal as much single target damage as D/D does and that’s all that really matters once it’s down to just the lord.

Yeah S/D is more for controlling the pace, but it wouldn’t do a lot in a single target damage. Still was wondering if I could try the same tactic with some friends. That’s why I wanted to know

Its much easier to notice this then some Thief randomly hitting the wall with C/D I imagine

are you knew to wvw sensei? just asking haha this is a really really old tactic, pretty much any good player in wvw knows it

Yeah because a zerg of people will not notice the animation of shadow refuge.
Infact, you see everyone using this strategy in game, and towers being insta-recapped all the time due to those perma stealthers. Yeah.

Just say “Guys I got owned bad teach me to counter your class”, you will feel better and most of all: it’s the truth.

Still doesn’t mean you see it often. I think it would be fun to see this being used versus us and on our server. Just like a Mesmer sweep a thief sweep would help break up the zergs even more.
