I wasn’t sleeping properly.
I wasn’t believing it. When some guy posted that short bow was getting nerfed again.
Though that SB was going to be nerfed again, I even spent half of the few gold I have to make a S/D set. Spent a whole weak searching ways to make a viable thief build that don’t uses SB.

Then the patch came.

God, now you can spam Infiltrator arrow everywhere and you won’t waste Initiative unless you select finally select a valid spot.
Plus you don’t get “stuck” while warping anymore.

Can’t really get any better than that. Finally We can stop wasting shadow step or initiative warping in front of walls.

EDIT: There are some new SS spots. Now you don’t need to use the middle stair trick at the forest to get on the higher plataform at middle.
Warping from below to middle now got easier since you can just spam the button until it hits the mark.

SB was awesome to move around, just to be quick and dodge fast, too much of a nerf, should have made it to use more initiative instead.

Played today for a little a bit scared, but I’m actually loving the changes so far, have not had a chance to toy with stability yet though. But not one hiccup in my steal or shadow step, no dumb rock blowing my portsi can get used to this

Wait I can’t get on for a week so please answer me this question. Can we still chain infiltrators signet + steal for maximum range? like chaining shadow steps?

I’m not gonna lie. I’m going to miss shadowstepping on top of the wall of the SW camps in WvW. But seeing how the new skill works, I think I can live with the loss.

I miss shadowstepping across gaps. Oh well.

I…actually forgot to test that. But you can still use sword 2 > steal.

It kinda just works a little bit wierd now. My theory is that the pathing for the shadowstep isn’t a straight line – it’s whatever is the viable path to the target within the range.

For example, during PvP I couldn’t shadowstep up a hill to get at a ranger – I had to go around halfway up the hill and then shadowstep. If I tried from below the cliff, it probably didn’t register.

No, it was in a foefire map. It was one of the home points with a tree by a hill.

The one by the clocktower? Yes, you can. Same way as before.
