Just did my first SS stomp on an ele
In pvp there were two scenarios he used mist form and I did an educated guess on where to land the shadow step. Such a great feeling when you do this for the first time. So what class can we not counter an interrupt? Mesmers don’t count if the do theirs early enough you can quickly use a shadow step in that .5 second window.
As a thief you can counter every down state interrupt in the game with proper timing on blinds, steal, or shadow stepping.
Oh and one thing about the mes, if you stealth fast enough and they don’t have a target, they can not use there down state stealth/clone.

See I didnt know that, thanks! (the thing about the mesmer) In the case of eles and mesmers and even the really experienced thieves, I think luck is also a HUGE factor as well.

I would only say that ele might have the luck factor there, as for countering the thief down state shadow step, its 100% going to go off if you have steal up, when you kill a thief and your steal skill is off cool down, just target that thief and when he goes to shadow step, just just use steal and it’s gg for him.
If your steal is on cool down and you have shadow step up (which you should be taking almost 100% of the time) just pan and watch for that shadow step, it’s really easy to pull off once you get the hang of it, and you will be “pro” stomping thieves like a G in no time.

I know what you mean, I meant those thieves that know you can steal stomp them, so they wait til the last possible millisecond so that when you do press steal, youve already finished the stomp so youre next to them in a “well this is awkward” fashion.
