Guild Wars 2

hello gaile and hello guys,
i did a google search and found no statement what so ever so i decidet to open this threat.
I hope gaile might shed some light into this.
- if you stealth as a thief player loose their focus on you. i think thats intendet.

- if you stealth and a ranger hits rapidfire you will be followed. you will recieve dmg, other players see the projectiles and know where you are. is this intendet?

- is it intendet that rapidfire is able to hit you like an aimbot in a shootergame?
because that is how it feels.

Pls i would love to hear an official statement on this. is it a bug? will it be fixed? is it intendet so rangers finally hit something? because i have got to say, and i know you can dodge jadajadajada, it is really buggin me.

Intended. All channelled attacks track you trough stealth.

Remember, this works only if the channeled ability started firing before you went into stealth. Once you do, Rangers can Rapid Fire all they want, and this will not help them any.

Why does this not work for Engineer Flamethrower skill #1, Flame Jet, if channeled attacks are supposed to follow stealth? As soon as the enemy is stealthed flame jet breaks aggro, and fires off in the original direction, and requires manual aim to sweep the area for possible damage. If the enemy takes damage, stealth does not drop, so why does Ranger get to continue to attack, but Engi cannot?

It’s compelty different… Flame thrower 1 acts as a cleave attack and therefore it can shoot through walls. That doesn’t happen with rapid fire obviously.

Hrm, I never considered Flame Jet to be a channeled skill. Guess they made a few changes to it, like the flame doesn’t stick around when you dodge.
