Edited this post cause we got +1s on revealed… which hurt… bad. It changed us from being graceful like cat woman and crafty like batman to being clumsy like jackie chan using the drunken master style (although not nearly as effective).

But now we might have some good news!

In that case when do we PvE thieves get our 3s revealed debuff back?

Maybe so. We’re debating it.

I was a fat kid in a candy story when I saw this. They’re actually thinking about restoring the thief to their former glory.

A couple things:

  • For PvE/PvP/WvW, we know that those are 3 different playstyles, we don’t just lump PvE and WvW together.

Considering WvW and PVE use the same skill values, yes you do.

We’re starting to split PvE/WvW in the upcoming patch.

But we want them to be things that keep consistency across the game types as much as possible.

If what I think you’re saying is true then sir, you have a e-hug coming your way

As we played with the stealth changed mentioned in the SotG, we recognized that in conjunction with the change to culling this was an unpredictable change to make. We also felt that it was too big of a hit to these stealth professions, so we ended up pulling that change in favor of just increasing revealed duration by 1 second.
