Guild Wars 2

I was playing with shadowtrap for a while and when it worked it was really awesome, but I had to scrap it due to the % of time that it didn’t work. It would usually catch me on a wall somewhere and prove useless or get me killed when I was trying to use it as an escape.

I would love to see this fully functional. Any thoughts?

Only works without obstacles in the way. Play it for a while to recognize what terrain allows the shadowstep and what doesn’t (with a while = weeks). Shadowtrap is a necessary utility on my build right now. Works for both offensive and defensive fights.

Yeah I completely agree, but having to know the terrain and only using it in certain places makes it useless. I sort of got the hang of it for a while that you need to be in the open and or not by some walls. But also height made a difference too. It has failed me too many times to be something I can rely on. It should work within it’s range 100% of the time for it to be valuable to me. Or those are my 2 cents at least.

Not having those obstacles blocking it would obviously be great. But right now it’s just another dimension in the game for me, to lure the enemy into an open field area where I’m in the advantage (both for the trap as for just stealthing and shadowstepping). But everyone their taste I suppose .. I like playing like this since I also use scorpion wire..

I guess. I suppose this also makes it less likely to see it used by many people the fact that its tricky to use.
