Guild Wars 2

In downstate I would shadow escape as far a possible away to avoid being stompped. Sometimes I still get stompped even when the animation completes far away. Just really bad lag difference or buggy at times?

Never had this problem, though if you aim it to his back, you’ll be closer to him then when you’re aiming away from him. This might caused you to be too close ..

OR: When facing a thief, he might use shadowstep when you used yours.

Im leaning towards lag atm. I would see the stomp flag animation hit empty ground from a distance, but sometimes I still get nailed.

I know what your experiencing. There have been times where I go for the stomp and a thief will escape but still close enough for me to re-target him while in mid stomp. Although I’ll be at a further distance, the stomp will still go through.

It does seem a little broken in the fact that sometimes my target has escaped but a simple re-targeting of him will cause him to get stomped from a distance.
