How to perma Stealth

How do you do this? What's the build and rotation for doing this? Can somebody teach me this skillset?

You make a deadeye. Pick the trait to stealth on dodge with a rifle. Pick shadow arts as another trait. The last trait u want is trickery for intiative. And take shadow meld as the elite skill. Now you can just dodge with rifle and gain stealth. U could also take the heal skill that gives stealth and blinding powder. With all those skills up and dodge roll. U have perma stealth.

Adding to the above, have endurance regen food. Adventurer runes also help to keep your endurance up for dodges. Otherwise leap or blast finisher+smoke field=stealth

You can also in a non Deadeye build use D/P and leap finisher combos to achieve the same effect for more effort.

The Daredevil can use a bounding dodge in smoke fields to gain stealth so you can be fairly invisible that way.

A core thief will take the most effort but still possible a few different ways. Same combo requirements but might need a few utilities. Blinding Powder is a blast finisher and in smoke field that will give a lot of stealth before you even leap combo.

"Death's Retreat is basically the Infiltrator's Arrow of this build when it comes to mobility, but that's just one aspect of it. In combat this serves as a spammable condition cleanse or even combo tool for stealth access when used in a smoke field.We recommend that you set up a bind for "about face" (Options ⇒ Control Options ⇒ Movement). This makes it easier to teleport forward with this skill using the following sequence: about face ⇒ Death's Retreat ⇒ about face."

This is excerpted from a build in Meta Build. How exactly does this contribute to Stealth ?

Btw.: Please don't necropost! This thread is from 2018 and outdated. The game has seen a lot of updates since then. E.g. you can not perma stealth on dodge anymore.

My apologies.

True about necro, but it also does say about the stealth in the part he quoted:"(...)or even combo tool for stealth access when used in a smoke field."

@"Michael Conrad.6704" this skill is a leap combo finisher, so when you use it inside/through a "smoke field", you gain stealth.Some details about which finishers do what in specific combo fields: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo#Combo_effectsHow to know if the skill is a "combo finisher: whatever"? Hover over a skill button and it's included in the details, usually near the bottom.

Death's Retreat is a Leap Finisher, you can use it just like the Black Powder + Heartseeker combo.

Try this: Kneel, drop Sniper's Cover, immediately stand up and do Death's Retreat through the smoke wall. (This is inefficient in WvW/SPvP, because Death's Retreat costs 6 init there; in that case you'd be much better off swapping weapons and using Heartseeker or Cluster Bomb with Sniper's Cover.)

No need to apologize. You did nothing wrong imo. If you weren't supposed to "necropost" you shouldn't be allowed to. There are actually benefits to so-called posts on forums in general, from a data and knowledge management standpoint, at least, and many sites have been enriched by such activity. It is good to be aware of updates, and dates (and figs). I agree with KrHome.1920 that most of the time posting over a year after a post was made, unless there has been a regular and natural continuance of the conversation throughout, is likely not very likely to add to the discussion, as most people won't adopt the advice given, due to updates and changes. This only applies to forums and Websites related to online video games (especially constantly-evolving ones like GW2) and other software/technology sites, of course. For most Q&A or general advice forums, there is no such thing as "necroposting". But I'm making this into a wall of text. Now it's my turn to apologize, if only for that.

As I said, KrHome.1920 does make a fairly good point or two about the dangers of doing such a thing. And they were even kind enough to include a hurried "please" in their Commandment to you. Then again, the apparent attitude he/she seemed to adopt while making it nearly invalidated any reason to pay attention to it. They are clearly capable of common courtesy and abstract, intellectual thought, but the context of their reply and the language they chose to use was pretty rude, if not disrespectful, unless you're speaking German, for example, where simple imperatives (even with exclamation points) are not considered to be rude, unlike English, Japanese and many other languages. I mean no offense to them, and certainly none to you. I just wanted to say I thought it was awesome how politely you responded to such a disrespectful direct order from a complete stranger. Idk if they think since it's online and not in real life it's ok to talk/type like that, or if they are rude enough to talk that way in real life too, but when most people are given such an abrupt, forceful "request" (to use a euphemism) it makes them want to do the opposite lol.
