No. They don’t need to hit you. They can’t be hit with AOE. They only appear targetable for a half second or less.
@Koega: if the thief didn’t attack you or the catapult from stealth they won’t have any cooldown on stealth and can chain. You can do C&D, then chain as many stealth abilities as you fit on your bar with no cooldown at all, you just can’t attack from stealth. You can attack after you unstealth and re-stealth instantly, maybe that’s what he was dong? Like Cloak and Dagger, unstealth, cloak and dagger unstelath on and on. If he was just doing that over and over on the catapult then it fits exactly what you describe.
The problem with that in WvW is it prevents a point from flipping, with no way to break the stealther. That is what is broken to me.
Engineer. Versatility.
During the day events I considered IoJ the worst server we faced in terms of strategy and tactics.
Funny. Most of JQ in team speak said the same thing about Crystal Desert. Not sure I share that view though.
Just a suggestion. If you had people inside the outer wall why not defend a spot on the wall, have a Mesmer drop a portal and just portal your reinforcements in? No siege necessary.
