Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been posted before, but the search function is broken. Thieves can stealth by C&D SMC walls (and bridges in EotM), and a thief that can achieve permastealth and shadowsteps all around is kitten near invincible.

Thieves can spec to handle conditions really well. I had 65% condi duration, 100% fear duration, chained 3 fears, staff marks and mark of power, and still he recovered. I’m kicking myself for having switched out Terror before that encounter.

I know gates were changed to not activate Cloak And Dagger. I’d think any structure should fall into the same category.

Perma stealth yes but not invincible you will run out of initiative eventually and you cant shadowstep on EotM bridges.

If you know the thief have the advantage there stay away from structures =/

C&D cloak on WvWvW walls and bridges was changed back at the beginning of Season 2 tourney.

[Fear] is a control effect, and can be interrupted/broken with stun breakers. A thief has 5 different stun breakers, an example would be [Shadowstep] which is 2 stun breakers.

Thieves have a hard time with condition removal, unless they are traited to remove conditions while in stealth, so applying conditions while they have a source of perma stealth near structures, not a good idea.
