Guild Wars 2

I play thief and shadow refuge is a reliable skill for everyone using thief in a team setup for tournaments. I’m posting because you removed the option to be able to capture points while in stealth which made the thief nearly useless as roamer. Here’s the main reason for writing; as you use shadowshot to leave the shadow refuge stealth you have to wait 3-4 maybe 5 seconds before you leave stealth. Is this intended? Because It’s frustrating not being able to leave stealth when you’re alone on point and have to wait 4 seconds giving the enemy 4-5 seconds advantage of the 15 sec res to get back to point.

Thoughts Anet?

I’m a thief and i cannot see why you would say this needs immediate attention, if you want to leave stealth to capture then equip a bow as secondary weapon and use skill 5 which will reveal you. Being stealth is an advantage, so saying the enemy has 4 seconds or so advantage as you cannot capture a node while stealthed is odd.

This is what I am trying to say. When i use shadowstep (bow) after I’ve gone to stealth with shadow refuge to finish someone at a node I have to wait 4-5 seconds until I leave stealth. Everyone skill make me leave shadow refuge immediately like when shooting/hitting something/someone. But if I’m alone and have nothing to shoot I’m forced to wait regardless. So that’s why this need an immediate tweak. Our Tour setup is always deeply affected by this.

This is the worst reason you could use.
That was one of the best things that were added.
What’s the point of capturing something while stealthed?
“Look, I’m capturing your base while invisible, and you don’t even know it!”

Don’t be like this. I totally understand why they removed the feature allowing us thieves not to capture while in stealth but I want to remove stealth whenever I want.

Oh i get what your saying now, so skill 5 infiltrators arrow doesn’t reveal?

Skill 5 on shortbow doesn’t reveal from Refuge.
