Guild Wars 2

As a Thief main, it’s an art to use stealth in as many ways as possible to my advantage, but in PvE it’s much more difficult.

If you stealth as a Lashtail devourer starts whipping you, and try to circle around it to backstab it, it keeps facing you and it keeps whipping you with its tails as you’re moving as if it can still see you. The intention was to nullify the devourer’s tail whip, but all you do is waste your stealth and lose health.

If you stealth as a Charr Flamethrower is blowing at you, it would indeed be acceptable to take some damage if you’re in the path of the flame, but it’s insane that the Flame Legion Charr has magical kitty vision and is still spewing the flames at you even as you’re stealthed trying to sidestep him to backstab him.

There’s many other situations where this is probably worse — and honestly, I’m kind of surprised this bug is present. Did no one at Arenanet play thieves in PvE before the game was launched…..?

I’ve also seen other Thieves in PvE say they go soley Shortbow because of this error with the AI with Stealth.
