Guild Wars 2

This is very annoying in PvP: whenever i Stealth and there is a trap, mark or other aoe dmg on the floor, Stealth breaks immediately. I just can’t Stealth and use stealth attacks on anyone who uses AOE. Is this intended or a bug?
Now i find stealth completely useless as an offensive ability against any class who uses AOE kind of dmg abilities … It is only good as escape option and some 1vs1 fights.
What an irony: i have much better survivability and dmg done, if i focus on non stealth builds with more Blindness oriented playstyle

stealth doesnt break when you take damage, you probably get revealed by some ability that focuses on removing stealth

This.

I think I understand what the OP means. It is very common for me to try and enter Stealth only to be denied for whatever reason. Usually, it’s at the end of a Heartseeker through Smoke Field.

I’m not quite sure what stops it. Many times, I’m sure I even have the Stealth “text bubble” that pops up when you do a combination. But I land inside of AoE or whatever, and I don’t actually get Stealth. It also happens when I leap right before I get downed. Unlike Shadow Refuge, normal Stealth doesn’t seem to carry over as easily.

Or you have a rune that does damage when you are hit. Or, maybe there is another friendly field that you are leaping through when you try to go stealth. That always sucks when a fire field takes precedence over what you really want.

That could be a cause.
For me recently, though, it’s happened a lot when I’m without teammates around… and using Rune of the Scrapper. So it’s still a mystery :-P

I’m not sure if it’s AoE CC where I land, or getting downed before I land… or just lag. Maybe a mix of all 3.

Probably walked into DH reveal trap.
