Opopanax.1803 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Hey All- Looking for some perma duration stealth builds. I made this just from looking, but I dont have a lot of time on thief and wondering what other ones that I am missing... http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PaQAQlFwEZhsHmJe6T+vKA-e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfshade.9251 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 I'd run smoke field and shortbow 2 blast it for stealth instead of shadow gust. Technically both of those skills have the chance to hit an enemy and reveal you, so be careful. Also, if you think about running this in WvW keep in mind that silent scope got gutted recently (barely any stealth on rifle dodge). In general stealth duration took a hit with the mostly failed attempt to make Shadow Arts more supporty. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about the 1 second stealth nerf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASP.8093 Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 What game mode? What are you hoping to do while stealthed? This matters a lot for putting together an actual build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindust.7059 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The short answer is, the amount of investment you need to make a permastealth build after the nerfs makes it impractical even for winterberry farming. So don't bother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlayerXX.7138 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Did you try murder? If it is for farming just run something like this: Stealth dps. Sure stealth is nice, but non elites die in 2 seconds. You can drive by normal mobs who are in the way while getting quickness and reduced cooldowns. Thanks to payback all your stealth abilities should be off cool down if you need them. If you get offensive protocol from EOD you have alac for stealth cooldowns and more quickness for gathering. Also 4 times Death retreat normally loses combat anyway. Have to be a bit careful about positioning. Edited August 16, 2022 by Albi.7250 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same build works with pistol/pistol + shortbow aswell for a true permastealth. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PawAoqVlFwAZisQGJe0W3NdA-w Use smokefield and doge backwards. -> swap to bow while dodging -> bow2 into the field and dodge out of the field again -> bow2 + dodge -> bow2 + dodge. with your smokefield and the dodge+bow2 combo you can be permastealthed without problems. You can stack 10+ seconds of stealth without even touching your utilityskills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
