Notes[edit]

  • Grants a boon immediately upon entering stealth and/or Hide in Shadows and every second after spent in stealth.
  • Synergizes with Chaotic Transference. When granting protection, regeneration is gained on the same tick (subject to internal cooldowns).
  • 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.
