Guild Wars 2

Shadowstep
Deception. Shadowstep to target area. Becomes Shadow Return, which returns you to your starting area and cures three conditions.

Say i m standing at point A, trying to get to point B. i use Shadowstep towards point B, leaving a circle at point A, then i use infiltrator’s arrow(or just plain running) during the count down of Shadow Return. Now i press Shadow Return, which suppose to teleport me to my “starting area” at point A, but it will not teleport me to my original point, the max distance of return trip seems to be somewhere around 1600-2000.

bug??

There is a max distance. Seems to be about 6000 though.

i m aware of that, but what i get is no where near 6000, not even 3000; just try it, stand on a flat land, activate the skill, teleport at max range, then run for like 4 seconds, activate skill again, it won’t bring u back to that circle.

The tooltip lists 1200, which seems to be correct. Also, yo must not go beyond the 1200 range or you forfeit the use of Shadowreturn.

The way I read the OP was that you CAN go beyond the range without forfeiting return – but if you do so, it will not teleport you all the way back, only up to some limit. Correct me if I’m wrong OP.

I’ve noticed this too. It won’t always return to you the exact starting position.

If I ‘step’ to near max-range and then walk forward maybe 500 more distance, ‘return’ will usually bring me back 400 to 500 distance away from my starting point.

There seems to be a max distance to how far Return can pull you back. I’ve noticed this more with the Sword2 skill’s Shadow Return since I use it more.

It’s probably a balancing measure, cause being able to jump 2000 distance would be too much for other PvPers to respond to.

Yeah I’ve seen this where it teleports you back but not quite as far, I would assume this is a range issue.

Infiltrator’s Strike have 600 range
Shadowstep have 1200 range
Shadow return have 1200 range
So, if you do shadowstep you can return to start point not more, if you do Infiltrator’s Strike you can walk 600 range more before shadow return fail

Infiltrator Strike’s return will let you go anywhere after IS’s initial step and return you to the mark, if the returning shadowstep doesn’t glitch and put you below the surface.

there shouldn’t be a range limit to do shadow return. I’ve gone beyond 10,000 range before and return just fine. Truth is, ever since the fractal patch came out, shadow return or infiltrator’s strike has been getting bugged way too much. on launch, it was perfectly fine.

No, it too has a range limit.

Could be, I just never encountered it.

I like it as it is, is you run out of its “return” range and use shadow return it will port me 12.000 in the direction of the “return” point just not all the way to it because of being out of range.

its better that way then to not return at all if not in range!
