Hidden Thief is simply broken.
Yep, I was all excited … but of course, not fixed. ^^
Bumpity Bump even though it’s no use because Arenanet either doesn’t care or is too incompetent to fix this bug. Might explain why it keeps breaking.
Still broken! ……………fix it please
FIX PLEASE!!!!! Very much still broken X.X It’s been EXACTLY 29 days!!!!!
I bet it will still be broken after the patch.
I traited for Mug and Stealth and it worked just fine using the PvP weight golems, and the profession bots. Is there anything I’m missing?
Keep trying until it just auto reveals you. Sometimes it doesn’t, but it definitely will if you do it enough.
I tried it just now until it revealed me, and until it doesn’t reveal me at all, I’m not going to continue using it. :/
I use Bewildering Ambush with it, but I doubt that’s the source of the problem as it does not apply immediate damage. Something in the way it’s coded causes it to reveal every now and then, not sure why. Really sucks though.
Edit: Tried sleight of hand too, same thing. Sometimes it still just auto reveals.

Wait… is it MORE broken that usual? I mean, these traits have NEVER worked together the way people think they should. Ever since the game was released, Hidden Thief would stealth you at the spot you were standing on when you hit the F1 button, NOT when you actually land your steal on an enemy. Mug, of course, does damage, and so if you land Mug while you’re in stealth, stealth will be broken. It’s always been like this. Was it actually fixed for a short time?
Yes it was fixed for a period of time … off and on even … :l
…
So it seems it was meshed with blinding powder, however that puts Hidden Thief on an unlisted ICD of 40 seconds which quite honestly sucks considering the compensation for that is a blind effect on target (that doesn’t seem to happen) plus a blast finisher on steal, which the blast finisher could be a nice yet very niche bonus but really … with an ICD far higher than even an untraited steal, that just sucks.
Overall it makes Hidden Thief worth effectively a lot less than it already was due to that. I have already died so many times in fights because I tried to use stealth openers from SB only to realize I never stealthed, healed a bit, removed a condi, and did not immobilize my target, thus getting completely rekt while I had to realize what was going on.
Please Anet … please … -.-

They don’t honestly care … Anet, you suck at what you do, end of story. You can’t fix anything in a timely manner, your vision of balance is absolute garbage and you are unaware you’re stuck inside a box, thus defeating the ability to “think outside the box”
On top of the fact you lazy twits who clearly lack passion for your jobs don’t understand the game’s balance because you suck at your own game.
Hands down, I’ve NEVER faced an Anet employee that was ever anything compared to the top players in this game. Explains a lot, it really does.
You are nothing but a stark disappointment EVERY time a patch rolls around. You make me enjoy the game less and less, and now yet again, another one of my builds is completely invalidated through both your incompetence in coding but also your crap-level of game balance as well as the ever slimming “build diversity” you IDIOTS preached about in the past.
Suck more if even possible. It might actually be world record at this point.
Bumping so this garbage can be ignored for months.
It’s fixed!
Just tried it in WvW and everything is working fine.
Thank you for fixing it Anet
