Just found out today, the unblockable buff added to shadow shot’s pistol shot has the hidden side-effect where it can no longer work as a ‘pull’ when reflected, as it ignores all projectile reflects, which is sad. :<

Bye bye pulling jade collosi in Fractals

Bye bye confusing the hell out of guardians and mesmers

Bye bye cancelling enemy thief dagger storms

I shall miss thee, shadow pull shot. ;_;7

That’s not so much a stealth nerf as a stealth bug fix… but I’m really not sure why they didn’t include it in the patch notes.

It’s not in the patch notes because it’s a result of a mechanic being fixed. Too bad the side effects are gone, but they weren’t intended anyway.

I wonder if necro ds 2 got the same treatment. It could do all the same things.

I don’t know what you’re all talking about; it IS in the patch notes. Unblockable just also functions as Unreflectable.

I didn’t even know we could do that, but thank god it’s fixed then. It wasn’t intended to be there, so.

Was an awesome trick though. Mesmer uses feedback – Thief uses shadow shot = Laugh at their confusion (literally confused, not condition confused)

I think it is stupid that they fixed that. In my opinion. The shadow shot mechanic i supposed to work like that, and if you just so happen to have an enemy pop a reflection the reverse mechanic should apply to the situation. I just don’t understand why so many things are being taken away from us. But aw well.. It’s all about “balancing” with this game.
