Guild Wars 2

Since a recent patch Shadow Refuge no longer destealthes you if leaving the circle after the skill expires (when you still have ~10s stealth left). Pre patch it was only bugged to let you run around the last ~ 4s (at least if you had +1s stealth trait.)

tl;dr shadow refuge is now mass invis with 60s cd and more duration, as a normal ability.

Is this intended?

How is this game breaking?

Lol, this is not a bug, this has been a bug FIX. It is NOW working as intended.

Edit: Post deleted. I posted in the wrong window.

Mass invis is an elite… And worse than the current implementation of refuge.

Not so sure this is working as intended.

They changed it specifically to make it work like that in the last patch. How could it not be intended? lol

It’s not OP, i like that they fixed the bug.

Besides, all shadow refuge is, is a big bullseye saying use your AoE here!

Mass invis you can cast on a group running in to combat. Shadow refuge to get the full duration your group would need to stop and group up in the refuge to get the buff for the full time. A mobile group invis seems superior to me. You can not target a small house and AE the mesmer group invis.

How can anyone honestly complain about Shadow Refuge? The healing it provides is negligible, it’s on a 1 min cooldown and it’s like a billboard saying “There are people standing in this circle feel free to AoE it”. It’s greatest benefit is for stomps and revivals.

@Hanzo you no longer have to stay in the area to be stealthed. After 4s (when the house animation expires) your group has 10s of stealth stacked up and can run anywhere with zero restrictions.

Yertle care to elaborate on why you feel a 60 second utility that lets up to 5 people go invisible for 10 seconds if they remain in a 300 radius area (roughly) for 4 seconds is “Game Breaking”?
