Something’s changed with one of the Haloween updates. As a Pistol/Dagger condition Thief I used to be able to
Vital Shot > Vital Shot > Cloak and Dagger > Unload > Repeat
But now I can’t do that, I need a third Vital Shot in there before I can CnD again, aka:
Vital Shot > Vital Shot > Vital Shot > Cloak and Dagger > Unload > Repeat
Either the Revealed debuff is longer or they increased the speed of Vital Shot…
Hello! There was actually a subtle change that went in, which was intended to be in our patch notes but seems to have been lost in compiling:
Stealth skills now always apply the ‘Revealed’ buff when they hit their target. We were finding that some players were waiting until the revealed buff was almost off, then executing a stealth opener like Backstab. The Revealed buff would be removed naturally from timing out and the Backstab would connect, without applying the revealed buff. This allowed players to execute their stealth opener combos and then immediately return to stealth for another assault without becoming revealed. Now, whenever a stealth opener connects with their target, they will receive the revealed buff.
We’ll be including the patch note in a future update. Thanks much for noticing
