Guild Wars 2

Is there any reason it doesn’t work like that anymore? I’m sure there could be some sort of medium.

I’m getting “bad link” from the link to your build

Well you have cloak and dagger the dd 5 skill dont you?

I see, but how come sometimes it decides to work on certain ramps/drops/walls/etc? Hell most of the time I can shoot the bottom of a ramp (literally the bottom, like standing under it)and it will teleport me to the top of it.

What’s the highest crit you’ve gotten off this? Seems interesting.

For sure don’t get me wrong I love the skill, it’s amazing, but I just think it could use a little tweaking. If anything it would be nice if Shadowstep could work in more places than the arrow due to it having an actual cool down.

This is the video showcasing exactly what the issue is. Sorry for the quality I think it will get better over time.

Isn’t the point of the forums to come and discuss though? There are a few examples already of anet listening to the player base. Even if this doesn’t get changed I’d rather know I tried then just said “Well it probably won’t change, oh well”. I am uploading a short 20 second or so video showcasing how broken it can be. It should be up soon.

Yet again someone saying to learn how to use it. Line of sight isn’t the issue here. I have hit the top of something plenty of times where the arrow should have worked following all the “rules” you guys have stated and it doesn’t work.

It’s very easy to say “learn areas to teleport to” but I don’t think you understand I have used this skill since level 2. Go to Lion’s Arch and try to use it in places where you think it would work I bet you half the time it won’t. There are plenty of examples of places where you can easily walk up to, yet you can’t arrow there.

Go into the mists (spvp) and go to the pvp lockers, you can preview pretty much every piece of gear in the game there.

For example there is a spiral ramp coming from the water in bore lynch (the dredge mines with the rebels in frostgorge sound) where you can swim to the ramp just fine but you can’t arrow there when I think it would be perfectly fair if you could. That’s just one example out of many that I’ve experienced.

Yes but you often have to work at it, it’s not a straight climb or a straight jump. Also Blinks never go vertically, they are purely horizontal skill, it’s how they remain balanced.

Even then there are a quite a few places where even horizontally the arrow doesn’t work. I’ll have to make a video showcasing it. I can see the balance aspect of it but how does it make sense that an engineer or a warrior can get to places that no one else can but I can’t arrow certain places if it is a little high up or hard to get to.

There are plenty of places that I can get to where the arrow doesn’t work, and just because practice makes perfect doesn’t mean that it’s not a bother.

So I have played my thief for a couple hundred hours (not nearly as much as some of you I know) and one of the bigger issues I have with the profession is the fact that sometimes infiltrator’s arrow simply doesn’t work.

I know this doesn’t seem like a huge deal but after dying due to thinking I could arrow somewhere while running away and then I see myself just appear in a cloud of smoke in the exact same spot and die from mobs. What’s even worse is that half the time I try to arrow somewhere and it fails my engineer friend just rocket jumps to the exact spot I’m trying to get to.

So is this intended?

Tl;dr- Infiltrator’s arrow won’t let you port to certain places and it’s pretty lame.

I agree, they claim that this is “our story” yet there are plenty of characters coming and going with no reference to them at all later. Very poorly done I really hope they can do something to change it. Possibly in an expansion or patch.
