Hello all,
I only play WvWvW on occasion, but when I do I make liberal use of Infiltrator’s Arrow and Shadowstep to navigate the map. As of today, I noticed that some of my usual shadowstep spots (i.e. when inside the tower walls, it was possible to shadowstep up onto the wall) no longer worked. I was wondering if this was part of the “shadowstep exploits” referred to in today’s patch notes…
I may be wrong, if anyone else could verify this that would be great
Also, don’t be afraid to post your shadowstep spots. I usually try anywhere I think would work, but it would be cool to see what you guys are doing.

After the first day of the new traps being in place, I must say that I don’t mind them as much as I thought I would. Most commanders get mad if you’re wasting supply on them, so they are pretty much reserved for small groups or singles running around.
That being said, it would be HIGHLY beneficial for the Thief community to come together and share knowledge about our other useful disengage mechanic: Shadowsteps.
As mentioned in the first post, do not be afraid to post your shadowstep spots, it could end up saving one of our thief brethen from certain doom. Why just this afternoon I was being chased by a necromancer and his warrior buddy when I came to a low hanging bridge near Orgath Uplands (Eternal Battlegrounds). I shadowstepped the underside of the bridge as we were passing under it, placing me on top. I then switched to my shortbow and clusterbombed them to oblivion. Unfortuately, oblivion isn’t what it used to be, and I had to Infiltrator’s Arrow back down and up several times, juking them, before I could do enough damage to kill them both. Come to think of it, they were kinda terrible. Maybe I’ve just come to expect that now…
Anyways, SHARE!!!! xD
