Hey ArenaNet!

I’m currently trying to build a new intresting thief build and then I found this bug! The trait called “Hidden Thief” in “Shadow Arts” doesnt work correctly, this trait should grant you stealth when you steal which it does but it break stright away. There is a way to come around this problem by dodgin’ right before you steal but otherwise you do a normal out-attack without the benefit of being stealth.

Suggestion, make this trait “Hidden Thief” work the same as our utility skill “Blinding Powder” don’t know if it’s easy to repair but since you already have the code for “Blinding Powder” I don’t see any problem with making this happend for next patch!

best regards,

the experimenting thief

I don’t think it’s a bug. It’s just poor gameplay design and conflicts with Auto Attack (AA).

For example: When you use AA of the Pistol and steal while a projectile is midair you get revealed if the projectile hits your target. For melee weapons I’m not sure if Hidden Thief stops your AA chain.

Conclusion for you as player: Turn off AA
