whoknocks.4935 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Just in a match against Kodash server, fought this druid who was spamming stealth every 4-5 seconds camping longbow and rock gazelle, how is that even possible? He didn't use trap because i checked the place he was stealthing in, so it's not the use of trapper runes, he didn't go celestial avatar either because that's every 10 seconds at minimun, but literally every 4-5 seconds he was able to stealth, and the only pet was rock gazelle and always shoot me with longbow. Wth was that? I don't wanna call for hacks but never encountered such a thing in all my roaming life. And btw he was vanishing in stealth without the character made any action or telegraph at all. Am i dreaming or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stand The Wall.6987 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 probably double longbow with quick draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawdler.8521 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Yet everyone laugh when one say that a ranger can stealth almost as much as a thief and far better than mesmer... But yes doesnt quickdraw basicly remove the cd on hunters shot? 3s stealth on 3s cd or something like that. Though of course you got the downtime between swaps, that's why most stealth rangers run druid and traps on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though of course you got the downtime between swaps, that's why most stealth rangers run druid and traps on top. Quickdraw plus Lead the Wind could put Hunter's Shot on a 3.2s cd after each weapon swap, but it would mean running a Skirmishing & Marksmanship build. Quickdraw without longbow traited could put Hunter's Shot on a 4s cd after each swap. Assuming the arrow lands each time for either setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSeed.3528 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Also they don't require double weapon to necessarily proc the on swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird he was running a skirmishing marksmanship druid, everytime he went out of stealth of stealth from.15% hp.was already above 50% and once completely 100% hp refill.

Dunno, but I see a lot of streamers do that on a lot of their encounters. It could mean a variety of things though from not wanting salty messages/not liking you/adding you to their list cos they like fighting you/etc/no idea.

Doubt he wanted add me to his list because liked to fight with me since he run a way from a fair 1vs1 at duel spot (the first place where i met him) and then when i was at the camp near the Keep he was so eager to gank me 5vs1 and chased me for 5 minutes before killing me in that 5vs1 and drop a siege on me. But yeah few minutes later he was alone in the camp and i blowed him in less than 10 seconds so he couldn't abuse that stealth thing, but the first fight was long more than 5 minutes because it was all a stealth spam by him, man it's druid symbol was a druideye haha...

Arlette.9684 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Son, I had a DE stealth chasing me for good 30 mins today, trying to get a kill everytime I fough someone else. Shrugged him off just like I'd shrug you off. You got ganked, c'est la vie. Shrug it off and keep playing. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noha.3749 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Those people that cant stand their own ground and keep racking up kills from doing +1 - +5 in WvW :p The same kind of players gets dunked when trying to outnumber from time to time and ends up being fodder in some roaming montage :p Dont worry, they will always be there. And they will almost always fail because they are generally not good enough on their own :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickdraw without longbow traited could put Hunter's Shot on a 4s cd after each swap. Assuming the arrow lands each time for either setup. This is likely the answer. It takes some practice but you can actually re-stealth _immediately_ as your stealth ends if you land your Hunter's Shot. I used to do this a lot by leaping through the smoke field from Smoke Scale and firing off Hunter's Shot the very second my stealth ran out to maintain my cover. With double Longbow, you could probably do this more effectively but, as is probably very obvious to everyone here, very much a gimmick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. Trust me. We have some weird Ranger player on Kodash. One Roleplays as a Gw2 beginner. Plays like one. Looks like one. Bearbow build. Uses Longbow Knockback on CD. Never seen him Change Weapons. Uses Longbow as a Melee Weapon. 35k AP..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not familiar with quickdraw, but swapping from longbow to longbow doesn't refresh hunters shot correct? That was my poorly worded point.

That was my poorly worded point. It's not about refreshing. Get into combat with LB1 Swap to LB2, get -66% cd on the skill you use first. Use hunters shot, 3.2s cd if traited (3s stealth) Swap to LB1, get -66% cd on the skill you use first. Use hunters shot, 3.2s cd Repeat forever. Basicly, the ranger have 3s stealth every 9s (6s downtime) assuming HS hits, which it probably wont against anyone worth his salt. And it require the ranger to perfectly time his skill usage so he doesnt accidentally use any other skill first. It matches up with the OP description.

Maybe alt accounts or people who like to troll or simply sand bagging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geist.4126 Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 It's not that ranger is hard to play or to learn. He could easily be a pve player coming to do his dailies. I mean my cats could play soulbeast with a longbow to gold 3 without an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
