Q:

Couldn’t find anything in the notes for the last couple of patches so I’m asking here.
After playing a few days on my thief I’m under the impression that disabling shot has been butchered somehow.
The delay before the skill starts is horrendous (same as flanking strike) even though similar skills on other classes like warrior gs #3 or mesmer sword #2 work absolutely fine with their evasion.
I guess it’s not news but the queueing for this skill seems to be pretty effed up too
somehow. I press the button twice like a double tap and even though the second button press is clearly during the first animation a second and sometimes even third use is queued… urgh!

Well, what I originally wanted to ask was: Was there always this ridiculous aftercast?
I’m pretty positive that during the time I mained thief for spvp, there was never this
weird ‘backpaddeling’ after the initial jump.
Is this a bug or are we stuck with this joke?

If I recall correctly they reduced the evade time on the skill. Not sure if it has changed otherwise.

They changed it with May 20th patch.
It’s unusable now, to say the least. Even using it to dodge a skillshot could leave you exposed to even worse situations as the only way to cancel the aftercast is by swapping weapons (not even dodging work).

If its a joke, the humor is extremely bitter and not een remotely funny. Using disabling shot is now like getting feared and drained of initiative at the same time. How could that possibly be a skill?
