— In-game description

Notes

• Grants a boon immediately upon entering stealth and/or Hide in Shadows and every second after spent in stealth.
• There is a chance that this trait will grant both regeneration and protection in the same interval.
• Hide In Shadows and Stealth both grant boons upon application onto a Mesmer; due to the fact they are different, they will both apply boons at the interval at based on which type was applied first, which can allow for two boons at once, if synchronized.
• Affects mesmer skills that cause Hide in Shadows, specifically:
  •  
    
     The Prestige
  •  
    
     Decoy
  •  
    
     Veil
  •  
    
     Mass Invisibility
  •  
    
     Deception
