is near perma invis back?
I don’t understand…
Perma Stealth never left. You could have always traited specifically to be invisible 99% of the time. The 3s un-nerf didn’t really change anything in terms of Stealth duration.

well theres two factors: are you referring to perma-stealth through skill chaining that nets you a high (90%+ if timed right) stealth up-time at the cost of making you do no damage to anyone while making you vulnerable to weapon spam as you “pop” into sight every 3-4 seconds.
Or are you referring to the “perma-stealth” people perceived in WvW due to culling making thieves invisible for a couple of seconds of their revealed time?
The former never changed, if you want to troll people like that and do next to nothing for a long period of time you can (at least until someone that knows how stealth works gets bored of you and kills you).
The latter changed and, hopefully, won’t be coming back as it was a culling issue not a stealth issue, why they put the increased reveal time on at the same time who knows… anet does some weird stuff with patches (see trickshot nerf, caltrop nerf etc etc)
Yup, the 3 —> 4 second nerf was aimed at our DPS and not perma-stealth. Unfortunately, for me and lots of other thieves, that extra second
1) Screwed up rotations and flow
2) Less condition removal
3) Significantly less DPS
4) Higher mortality rate when knocked out of Refuge
Very glad it’s back to the way it was. I just have to redo my internal clock. Again.
with the 3 sec un-nerf, I think its possible to have a invis build again … whats your thoughts
Revealed has nothing to do with “perma stealth.”
