Shadowstep re-work, please?
huH? the only change i would want is to not trip traps and etc when using it.
Shadowstep it’s great. I really can’t think to play without it, saved me so many times. Maybe a little bit too high cooldown, considering it’s our only stun breaker.
This is how Shadowsteps have always worked. It’s like the difference between evade and block.
Shadowsteps require physical path, Teleports do not.
The great forum duppy.

Yes but its so limited even for that. I cant cross gaps when I can jump over them? That is what needs to be change. I should be able to at least do that.
they all work like that. they all travel in a line. they dont skip the area…they just travel to it super fast.
the reason u cant cross gaps is bc its not a Line of sight movement system where you go from point A directly to point B. you go from point A to point B by traveling the surface area between. you do actually physically travel across the land.
So right now shadowstep is just plan silly and doesnt work like it should.
This IS how it’s supposed to work since GW1 days, so it’s working as it should. I’m fine with it, I memorized most Inf Arrow shortcuts in PvP and having it moving you over walls everytime you wanted would make this class the goto for WvW. We got enough haters and cryers so I’ll stay with it as it is, and it’s working fine. I would prefer our movement buffs going in a different direction.
I would agree to make it so it allows you to shadowstep to sorfaces you can reach in a simple jum (sometimes it’s annoying when it can’t find a path because there was a very small elevation), but just that. It shouldn’t allow Thieves to catapult over WvW defenses.

Please don’t touch shadowstep, its fine. Last thing thief profession needs is shadowstep becoming a complaint and subsequently overnerfed.
The main thing that needs to be done with Shadowstep is a bugfix (you visually lose your stealth when you Shadowstep while stealthed, how could Anet let an annoying bug like that last so long?)

Shadow step is not our only stun breaker. Theres also roll for initiative. Also there are so many ways to shadowstep we get 5 stun breakers from it.
Shadowstep utility, shadow return utility, shadow step from the signet, steal is also a stun breaker and sword’s shadow return too.
Add more sound effects to The Minstrel plz.
If there’s a guardian or a mesmer that utilises these Shadowstep like abilities as well as a good thief in a fight, I haven’t met them. What you are looking for is another ability called climb. Which I do wonder why it isn’t in available for WvW all that banging on walls gets boring.
