Guild Wars 2

Stealth bug: After entering stealth, channels continue to track you (I personally feel they should either continue to fire at the point of stealth, or the channel is broken)

Stealthing seems to also allow pets/clones/phantasms etc. to continue to lock on to you and hit you for about 2 seconds after initial stealth – this is absolutely hugely unfair as it gives our position away and deals unnecessary amounts of damage from unfair sources.

Please look into this asap!

I really hope this thread doesn’t get lost in the ether guys, as I think it’s one of the most backbreaking aspects about tPvP right now for a thief. The prevalence of ‘pet’ classes at the moment (Mesmer, Spirit Guardian, Necro, Ranger, Other thieves, Rock dogs…) means that besides the PW spamming and HS abuse there is absolutely no worthwhile reason to create a build based around stealth.

I would love to start playing this class with some flair but right now it’s just stun breaks and landing that pistol whip before your enemy does+haste and GG. There is more to be had from the thief, just give us the tools to do it!

(I also think Rock dogs are the lamest thing ever but that’s a totally different issue =P)

Agreed. There’s a lot that needs tweaking with the Thief right now, whether it’s balance in the class or bug issues but this is a huge MUST FIX for ANet.

Backstabbing and stealth are undervalued as it is currently, due to the current methods of bursting via HS or PW being far more effective. Having a bug such as this when everyone is rolling Pet Classes makes me want to join the rest of the Haste>Pistol Whip crew…
