Guild Wars 2

My thief is a brilliant, beautiful, fun as hell work of art and I salute ANet for such a fun class. Which is why Disabling Shot sticks out so much when it fails, more frequently than it should.

It seems like 20% of the time I cast it and don’t actually jump back, rather I get stuck in place. I assume there’s some terrain problem involved here, for example when I’m kiting the Champion Abom outside Caer Shadowfain and I used DS when running up the slight incline there, it tends to fail (and if the Abom has tons of frenzy stacks I can’t afford a single mistep or I get pounded).

Anyone notice this, and are there any work arounds besides know every spot of terrain in the game?

Disabling shot fails 90% of the time in wvw when trying to leave, however I found a work around.
this only applies to flat or going down hill
first use disabling hold “s” or the arrow key or w/e bind and make sure your character takes a step back before using the next shot.
I would like to say I’ve gotten out of danger 100% of the time like this but… that taking a step back is costly :/

So start backtracking an instant before casting DS? Thanks, will try it out.
