I'm curious as to whether everyone has the same experience, and what you guys do if so. Just hide backstab and run proper khri? Not super familiar with thief mechanics.
I'm a badger, I be badgerin'
Was wondering how stealth works in PVP with our khri silence. Especially with WATCH in effect. I sometimes was hidden or invisible and still taking hits (how they could see me to hit me when I was hidden/ invisible who knows). On another post I think it was suggested that its possible to use backstab or ambushes with pulsing invisibility during PVP, as a counter to the huge bonus of WATCH. Any clarification of how this all works would be huge. Thanks

They had spot-effect on you more than likely, which means even if you successfully hide/go inviso during a certain amount of time after they spot you they still see you and can act on you. Inviso used to break spot-effect but it doesn't seem to anymore.

Inviso is the same as being hidden when it comes to using any kind of stealth attack (BS/Snipe/Ambush). If you can't hide while at melee/pole then Silence will definitely help get you into a position to use our abilities. It won't negate any buffs to Perception that they have (including Watch) so any Stealth contests will still be tough to pull off, but it is very useful in PvP.

I havnt had Rif in game for months and months. But yeah, a Barb was the harder from memory, just with inflicting the vitality enough before it pulsed up again. Also plate and brig armors sucked aswell. I haven't asked about it, or read anything, other than seen stat resetters, so am i assuming this can be done for anyone? In the case you can, i would like to spend the money on restatting, as a player that had his stats and they still are the way you trained them pre 3.0.
