Attacks while stealthed

[Kreths.8457]

Hey guys,

 

Why does skill like 3 from ranger longbow still target me after i used stealth ?

 

Is this another bug from those incompetent devs or a feature ?

 

thx

Channeled skills track targets in stealth as long as the cast started before they turned invisible.

It’s called pre casting. Your animation could actually start after they turn invis as long as you do it properly

Because it was casted before you've entered stealth. Though it's still lucky, since from my experience, whenever I try to hit even non-stealth using enemies in WvW I can get "Miss" for no reason.

its kinda weird since lb 3 is supposed to be instant cast, so technically it should not be possible to cast it before you stealth.
On the other hand you could technically be no-scoped or the arrow was simply mid air already and just hit you after you have stealthed.

Hunter's shot is not a channeled skill thou, it even doesn't have the weird precast animation from LB#4

I would say OP went into stealth when the arrow was still in mid-flight.
