Guild Wars 2

When using infiltrator’s strike (2 with sword) with no target selected, the skill allow players to Shadow Return from far more than the stated 1.200 range.

In fact, in flat ground, the range is almost unlimited : you can go as far as you can in the 13 sec duration of the return (I’ve gone far more than 3.000) and still you can use SR to return to your initial location.

I’ve seen a lot of thieves “abusing” this bug, and I’m sure I will be hated for bringing this to light, but I want the game to be balanced and not biased by skill exploits.
The skill does not need a nerf, just a simple fix to make it do what is stated and nothing more.

I do not think it is “working as intended”, but I really expect a official response to make it clearer whether it is intended or not, and if that’s the case, maybe a tooltip correction.

1200 range is only checked when activating the IS, not SR.

………………… (I have honestly felt this as well but please just enjoy the ride)……….

I love trolling people like this – activate > run to them > they jump me > lolol suckaaaz. It’s even better when a horde of angry enemies are chasing me and I use this to return where I started and look at them with the mob mentality just continue running in a straight line, away from me already, while I /laugh.
(I hope this is working as intended/never gets fixed)

Oh the good old days of Shadow of Haste trolling when you can run for 40s max then poof!

Shouldn’t you be pairing this in bug form like the other 1000 posts about this?

I’m pretty sure anet knows about this and quite possibly will get fixed in the next patch since anet said the next patch was a bug fix patch.

If its not fixed after next patch, it would be safe to assume its working as intended.
