Guild Wars 2

Its currently possible for a thief with a certain build to be essentially perma stealthed, independent of rendering issues in WvW and sPvP. This particular build is significantly overpowered in that one person can prevent an entire group or zerg from capturing a location. essentially they can maintain stealth permanently.

They can also use finishing blows while stealthed. There needs to be a change to this mechanic in that profession and stealth needs to be more in line with mesmer invisibility uptime, and more downtime.

Its not permanent. Its repeatedly refreshed by attacking every few seconds.

You can also use ae to hit them just fine. Either they attack and eat the AE, or they lose stealth.

Yeah maybe if it’s 1V1 Drac, problem is now you don’t see them coming because of perma stealth and 2 thief’s can instantly down you in stealth buy popping elite, no joke insta down before you even see the whirls go off.
