Guild Wars 2

Hit f1 to shadowstep to your target; once you do an f2 key becomes active so you can use whatever skill you stole and as an added option f1 can be a return step. This way you do get a quick heal in/out attack and it does add mobility to the thief.

just a thought since a-nets plans is too add mobility plus fight durability to the thief class.

They did say that they had an idea of making it a Shadowstep with a target or not, although I have no idea how that will be implemented.

Added it to my “how to improve stealing list”: here

I like your idea

Simple, if you have noone targeted and activate steal it’ll just shift you 1,200 yards in the direction you are facing.

ya, just like the active of infiltrator’s signet.

While we here, can we give shadowshot a followup skill like flanking strike to steal boons? Trigger only when shadowshot lands mayhaps?
This would encourage people to use the followup instead of backstab even when they activated shadowshot from stealth, and maybe quiet down some the complains about getting bs from closer?

Well either way people will complain about that because shadowshot does already three things. It blinds and it’s a 900 yard teleport followed by a strike. Adding a mechanic to strip boons will make it a bit overpowered IMHO.
