This also works with infiltrator’s signet. Useful trick for getting that final damage on someone running away!

I think of it not as a bug but as the profession mechanic :P
you can also use steal/shadowstep to land backstabs or any other attacks
I use something like this with my bursts on guardian. Can hit whirling wrath and then judge’s intervention right after or mighty blow instead of whirling wrath. Same logic with steal or any other teleport for other classes.
Works with shadowstep too. You can start finishing off a target, shadowstep away, and when the stomp is about to connect shadowstep back.
This also works with backstab. If you’re running D/P, 5 → 2, then midway, use steal in order to backstab an enemy that’s far away.
Generally, i’ll Basilisk > Black powder > Heart seeker > Inflitrators signet > Steal > backstab as an opener in team fights.
Shadow step (Shadow step > Infiltrators > Steal) is used every now and then.
More of a shock tactic than anything.

This is how a good thief plays, comboing all his attacks with steal and ports ^^.
Yep. Instant-cast teleports work this way intentionally. It’s why we have so much access to them over multiple utilities and how it synergizes with so much.
