If the patch was specifying the build up timer, then my mistake. I know i've never failed to break a stealther out with damage though. One time I even used morale 2 frontal cone AOE Reversal of Fortune to break a WE out of stealth and thought I was pretty pro for finding him.

If there was an init check that sometimes saved you from stealth-break, I never experienced very often. It has to be tiny. I know on my Wh an occasional throw dagger projectile would land after stealth and not break me. It was so rare though.

When you see a WE/WH moving around in stealth, then you won the init check. Any damage to the WE/WH then will make them visible.

Well, yeah. AND, you can damage him when you cannot see him.

You can even kill them. They just don't become visible because of the damage.
Casts on the WE/WH are interrupted, when they successfully enter stealth, flying projectiles still hit but don't make them leave stealth.
The last part is currently wrong here in ROR.

Well, I even linked a video recently in this thread where I 'find' a WH stealth with pit of shades. From experience I know you can pop them out without seeing them first. Heck, stealthers know this too.

No he passed the Initiative check @0:53 in the video, he missed the pit of shades and used impending doom(it goes on cooldown) to knock him out of stealth after he could see him.

Edit: I also saw no other instances of him knocking anyone out of stealth besides the previously mentioned so I assume this the "example" you're talking about.

Indeed, Pit of Shades did nothing here as the WE only becomes transparent, indicating the passed init check and not fully visible.

You guys know there's a combat log right there right? And High-Def 1080. The player takes damage and comes out of stealth nameplate first. I can't even see the player, but his nameplate is revealed as I have engaged him and shadow prowler is interrupted.

I wish I had videos of me KNOWING a witch hunter is behind my sorc, and casting pbaoe to break him out. There's not a ton of fraps of such a random mechanic from the game, but maybe I can find one somehow, somewhere.

I know it says 'SOMETHING' but it always says that when shadow prowler is breaking because it's slow. It's why when a WH uses a stealth opener, sometimes it says SOMETHING HITS YOU like for 1-2 seconds. Sometimes even death spam in enough lag, in region chat, says Killed by Something's so-and-so.
