Guild Wars 2

The thief trait “hidden killer”, which makes your next ability out of stealth be a 100% critical hit is apparently affected by weakness. Weakness is supposed to make non-crit hits make a glancing blow 50% of the time. However, time and time again, I end up seeing a non-crit backstab hit for about 1.7k and the word glancing pop up. This shouldn’t happen since all of my backstabs should be a critical hit.

Also, as many of you already know, the trait “fleet shadow” does not give the intended 50% speed boost. It still gives 33%.

Apparently, the trait just doesn’t work sometimes. I am getting non-crit backstabs for around 3k.

I hear it has a decent internal CD. I’m not entirely sure, since I don’t use it.

Also, if you are in stealth and use another stealth skill (i.e. you enter stealth by using Cloak and Dagger and then use Hide in Shadows while stealthed), Hidden Killer will no longer activate on your next attack.

It doesnt seem to have an internal cooldown, but you are right about going into stealth after you have already gone into stealth and having it not crit. I think this is the problem and why I see glancing blows sometimes when I’m weakened. Thanks for the response. I’m definitely able to work around it, but it’s still an inconvenience and honestly still should be fixed.

However, the main thing i want fixed is the fact that the 50% speed boost is still 33% while in stealth. Cmon Anet, change that number!

I’ve lost count how many times Last Refuge screwed me.
