So was in WvW, and I was chasing an ele. Used shadowshot to close the gab, but the ele put her magnetic aura up before it hit, and reflecting back to me. that teleported her right to me. o.O. Not the most graceful gab closer ever seeing as i was blinded after…but it got the job done,

Pretty sure it’s been mention before, i thought i point this fact out.

all blink to’s have the same effect on targets with self-refelects. Really useful when you get the hang of it. Careful though, you can shoot the crap out of yourself!

Watch for this fighting the Jade guys in the Jade Maw fractal too.

Reflect is not the happy when you’re P/D. I usually swap my hands to D/P just for that one.

I find D/P brilliant in Jade Maw, helps yank those Jade Collossi closer to the safe corner, for shadow shooting to tentacles and perma-blinding.
When I first tried to shadow shot a collossus, I expected to teleport to it and was surprised to find it appear right before me instead. Thought it might have been severe lag or something, until I noticed the reflect buff and hey, now this made a lot of sense, what a cool mechanic!

Shadow shot on Reflect sort of works like a spammable, shorter ranged scorpion pull without the knockdown, and swiping mobs from under your teammates’ noses (for their own good of course!) does sort of fit the style of thieves. :P
