Stealth mechanic (combat stealth) and role concern

Post » Sat Apr 13, 2013 6:35 am

From the moment the words "Stealth healer" was mentioned, I was SOLD. However, stealth - and being a stealth healer, in both PvE and PvP is probably completely useless and underpowered if you cant stealth in combat. So I was wondering if there has been any mentioning of how the stealth mechanic will work.

IMO the idea of being a healer/support/buffer/debuffer from the shadows sounds like an awesome concept.

Im also worried that seemingly all classes can do all roles. I love being a dedicated healer/buffer and the idea of removing the "trinity" of tank/healer/dps is a major concern for me. Wont there be a place for pure super-specialized min-maxed roles? SOunds like a major letdown. I cant believe this is looked upon as something positive. If everyone can do everything then the feeling of contributing something unique to a party is completely demolished -.-

From what I've read, moving while stealthed drains stamina so your stamina resource determines how long you can stay stealthed. I don't know how it regenerates, whether you have to be completely out of stealth or stand still for a length of time or what. I also don't know if there will be any consumables that can be used while stealthing to increase the amount of time you can remain stealthed.

Since they added the lolstealth, I'm hoping it's a short duration spell/ability. It needs to be a strategic decision, not a permanent gank toy.
