Guild Wars 2

Hi

I’ve noticed that when feared or knockdown, or any other CC.. pressing F1 on thief acts like a break stun… this isn’t in the skill description.. noticed mainly on the land giant.. if your too far for a steal.. you’ll break the knockdown or fear and have that 5 sec recharge.. Is the skill supposed to be a ‘break stun’ also?

S.

no it is not a breakstun but u ckittene it while stunned/ fear

It’s always been like this. However it’s difficult to make use of and almost always better to actually use on a target rather than put it on cooldown. But yes, if you steal to something out of range while CC’d steal will stun break you – it’s a very old bug.

I don’t know all classes well enough to stay this is trye for them all, but for Rangers and Mesmers the F keys also remain useable when stunned. I think it’s just a general function that they are not effected by stuns.

Related to this bug, is Steal supposed to have a delay or something? The past few times I’ve used for the shadowstep, I’ve gotten a delay to the point that my target is beyond the reach of my dagger. Or is it just my crappy ISP being a pain?

It doesn’t break stun. It simply allows you to use Steal but you still keep the negative status. In WvW, Thieves uses this to get out of jam when stunned by stealing on critters.
