Guild Wars 2

Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with the tone of condi dmg if people set marks and traps on your shadowstep return point? I mean there’s a lot of trap guys (burning guards and trapper druids) and condi minion necros in my games and my struggle against those kittened up teams seems futile most of the time. Sooo, any tips? (besides the 30s signet, which I guess it’s not bad, but not a solution either)

If you shadow return while dodging, you’ll activate the marks/traps and make them miss.

Nice tip, thanks.

This works offensively as well, so if you’re stealing onto a DH that you know is running traps.

Alternatively, you can move out of the 1200 range of shadow return before activating the return part. This will mean you’ll move 1200 back towards the return point but not actually be there, so you won’t trigger the marks etc. This works better in WvW where you have space and open areas.
