Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if this has been posted or not. I searched but found nothing on the subject.

When using the longbow as the Ranger, if I use Barrage, and it is actively hitting enemies in its zone, the stealth that is granted from Hunter’s Shot is immediately interrupted once granted as if I did something to break stealth. I understand that this is because the system registers that I am “attacking” an enemy with barrage, but I don’t feel like it should work this way. This feels wrong. When using traps, I do not believe this occurs, but I will double check.

1- Barrage
2- Hunter’s Shot
3- Stealth Granted from Hunter’s Shot
4- Barrage strikes an enemy and stealth is broken

Is this intentionally designed this way?
