Guild Wars 2

Like the title says, many times after the stealth supposedly ended you are still not visible to other players for another 2 seconds, I have seen thing happen both as a thief(even though you seem visible to your self) and versus thieves.

Some times when playing versus a Thief it is possible to see a “woosh” animation of him appearing but the character and the nameplate do not appear immediately giving him time to still get a couple of hits while invisible.

In fact this is easily exploited by dual dagger thieves since if you time it correctly you can use your “cloak and dagger”(5th skill) to stealth again giving you near permanent invisibility.

PS: I used the Thief as an example as it is easier to see and test it with this profession but I believe this happens with the stealth effect in general regardless of what profession is using it.

I play thief a lot and have never really noticed this on myself (because it appears that you are visible) but when I play vs other thiefs and rangers and engineers, that certainly does seem to be the case. They’ll deal like 3 hits to me while still stealthed and don’t immediately become visible. I think it’s probably something to do with rendering delays when there are a lot of people on screen, as when I’m in PvE mobs are constantly invisible for a long time if there are too many mobs to render on the screen at once.
