Guild Wars 2

Oi guys,
here im talking mainly about pvp/wvw. Im playing thief a bit now and im getting mad every day more and more. Im playing my thief based on stealth (d/p) that means its very important for me. But its so annoying that while im in stealth getting hit by enemies e.g. i was in wvw droped my shadow refuge was for 2 sec in stealth but rapid fire from the ranger even hits me while im in stealth. Another example i blackpowder and heartseeker through it and in any case the autoattack will hit me for at least 1-2 sec even im in stealth. That is just ridiculous and annoying. It`s in my opinion just an exploit and should be abolished. But Anet dont even care. Instead of solving such problems it getting more worse every single day.

What do u think guys?

Not sure if serious. It has been like this since launch and is counter to stealth which needs to exist and also why i don’t understand why the hell Anet had to add even more counters.

Getting hit with a ranged attack in stealth means they targeted you and started the projectile attack before you engaged stealth. Stealth makes you invisible, not bullet proof.

The same applies to melee attacks and any melee attack with a cleave component will always still hit you. You can force an attack even without a target; you just can’t complete auto attack chains.

I believe this was more about channeled skills tracking you.
But still: its annoying, sure, but it has been so yesterday and the day before that. Its not like you couldnt just dodge. There are ways to deal with this and most people simply learned to adapt. Usually the channeled skills are also not the ones that will just kill you. Its just something you have to deal with, changing it would also mean a fundamental change to the game mechanics, and the issue is not severe enought to be worth that. Partially its even intended.

If stealth meant invulnerability, I would have quit a long time ago. Iv’e killed more thieves while they were in stealth then out of it.
