Guild Wars 2

anyone think shadow shot needs some tweaking?

shadow steping to the target and rooting yourself while you do a dagger strike seems to ruin the flow of the fight.

the enemy seems to be able to easy just walk away, some not even noticing i used shadow shot on them.

tl;dr remove the self root from shadow shot

Yes, while I like the utility D/P brings Shadow Shot rooting yourself for a short time just makes it worthless as a gap closer. One of the reasons I’m currently using D/D again.

nice to know someone agree’s

im theory crafting builds, and right now, its sort of ruined by shadow shot

although headshot makes it worthwhile

backstab seems like the most effective build, ill continue theorycrafting and hopefully find another build…

i know theres a few builds, i use daze bruiser build, and rarely condition damage pistol or unicorn build. but venomshare not so much.

most seem ineffective compaired to d/d roam

Does this skill have the self root after teleporting to them, for balancing reasons?

@savage: There is no possible balance reason for having a self root after the shadowstep. The point of the skill is to guarantee 2 hits and a gap closer. As is, the skill guarantees 1 hit, a gap closer, and a second hit if the target is afk…
