We cover a lot of familiar ground with WvW, dynamic events, boss fights, and potions, but there's also some very interesting information on a subject we've not heard much about at all: Stealth!
Quote:
GuildFans: Stealth has been confirmed as an ability for certain ranger pets, can we also expect to see players using it?
Eric: Yes, in fact rangers have a utility skill that allows them to stealth while they are standing still. I know a lot of people immediately jump to the overpowered version of stealth that they’ve seen in some games when anyone brings it up. I do think however that we’ve got a good handle about how to keep stealth in check. Things like limiting stealth by time, not having professions that destroy everyone when attacking out of stealth, having a lot of ground targeted attacks, and stealth detection skills can keep professions who use stealth in balance with everyone else.
