Just opening a discussion here, would it be over powered if our class skill counted as a stun breaker? On one hand some would consider it OP since no class should have access to a free stunbreaker just by being that class, but on the other hand Anet wanted thieves to be the slippery class with a lot of mobility. And afterall, even when CC’d, we can still steal, but it won,t negate the CC effect. What do you guys think?

We have more than enough access to very good stun-breaks.

You made a good point. I personally would be fine with it so long as the stunbreak comes from a trait.

A trait in acrobatics or trickery might work? But having the stun break on a 21 second cooldown could be too strong. Its an interesting thought for sure.

With everyone spamming stuns and CC, I doubt it would be OP.

The amount of sheer stunning moves they have is just crazy, sooo much CC

I always accidentally use steal to stunbreak anyways… It just feels like it should since it’s a shadowstep (in the time when infiltrator’s strike [shadowreturn] stunbreaked too).. Never learn it doesn’t

It has been a stunbreaker for a long a time, but then suddenly on a patch they removed that aspect from steal, without telling us about it.

Rather then have steal a stun break, I would like to see it have a non target-able shadow step.

If you have a target steal works as it does now.
If you don’t have a target it works like shadow step, with out the stun break and with out the return.

A-Net said (3 – 5 Months ago) that they might implement something simmilar in
the near future, but not in the next patch. Back then when they were monthly
