Guild Wars 2

Another video I made explaining how to achieve infinite stealth for those who don’t know.

i do not understand what you try to prove
1.smoke field is visible / small you can aoe the area
2.why would an 50 ppls zerg split in small groups of 5 ppls to get stealthed by 10 diferent thieves for 10 seconds when they can enter to an portal?
3.is not viable inside combat , you drop smoke field
- elementarist drop meteor in the area
-necro aoe fear in the are and aoe wells
-Engineir drop grenades /bombs
- warrior use 100b
-ranger blinding roots
guardian /mesmer knock you back from your field
-you might also explain why, with all those tools , thief is voted mediocre pvp clas in sPvP forum . Position 4 out of 8.
4. you waste 20 trait points +1 utility slot for that – you will not afford this inside wvwvw

I’m trying to prove that thieves have potential to do more then just gank squishy targets, and can provide a lot to team/raid gameplay. If coordinated.
1 + 2.When I say stealth a raid I don’t mean stay in the wide open, that would be silly, I obviously meant find a place in an area with little visibility and then do it, because it might be possible and a fun thing to do. I’m sure if someone did find us out, that everyone would disband the spot and just fight normally. My video was about trying something new. And stealthing a raid was meant for If somehow we got overrun at like say stonemist for example, they probably had a biggest raid or was too quick for us to react, hide like 10 people top floor somewhere, wait it out, just a consideration.
3.Didn’t I state it wasn’t even possible to use in combat…? Of course I know it drops a smoke field lol?
4.Waste??? points in the best talent tree for thieves?, Ain’t a waste at all, And also those utility skills don’t need to be used, they help with initiative management.
Maybe I need to add a extra note saying you don’t need those skills to perform it, it just makes it easier.

as the game grows older the element of suprise get far more important. i appreciate the effort of Bhutjolokia.

Not every post can be about a gamebrakeing op tactic that lets you facerofl 1on1.

its about what you do with this mechanic

My Guild often runs small 5 man teams trying to steal towers or in some cases garrisons, using this inside the walls will be BRILLIANT. I now plan to pick up a pistol just to do this. Thank you very much for the post.

actually this setup works extremely well for being able to stealth a lot. But good players don’t stand in one spot so you can effectively use those abilities you listed. Even Meteor storm takes so long to cast the thief may get hit once by the time he;s moved out of the area.

thieves aren’t mediocre in sPvP, but they have been nerf more in sPvP than WvW. Also thieves are only good at roaming, and D/D ele’s can do that just as effectively.
