Talk:Shadow step

Aura/Recall
When Recall is stopped, Shadow Stepping is limited to line of sight without obstacles. Aura of Displacement ignores this. Testing needed?

vs Consume Corpse
It seems the difference between the wording 'teleport' and 'shadow step' is teleport does not require an obstacle-free path. Course, this is an asumption based on simply Death's Charge and Consume Corpse, but if it's totally true, might be worth noting, somewheres... --Tinarto 02:01, 22 May 2006 (CDT)

Regarding recent edits with respect to AoD, SoH, etc.
Draygo Korvan and Koyashi had a mini edit war with respect to Aura of Displacement and Shadow of Haste. The point raised by Koyashi is that the "return" aspect of this skill is different from a shadow step. Two ways to settle this question: If both are false, then a "return" is functionally no different from a shadow step and these skills should be listed as anomalous. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 00:34, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * 1) Can you "return" with a bundle?
 * 2) Can you "return" to a location further than one radar radius away?


 * Both are false. You drop carried objects when you teleport either way and ending AoD is limited to half compass.  --68.142.14.52 01:39, 2 June 2006 (CDT)


 * Thanks. I'll revert Koyashi's revert then. Note: this is not a violation of Only revert once because a consensus was reached first. &mdash; Stabber &#x270d; 01:52, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
 * All assassin teleporting uses Shadow Stepping. Thus Aura of Displacement and Shadow of Haste invoke the shadow stepping code to return. Return is correct in an english sense; however, "shadow step back to the location this skill was activated" would be more descriptive if anet were to change it. You can confirm that it uses shadow stepping by observing the behavior of the return, you cannot use those skills to teleport through gates and if a pathfinding solution is not found it teleports you into a wall/building/mountain (etc.) or any other obstruction that is in the way. In addition, those two skills were the only ones that could potentially allow a user to shadow step beyond radar range. Thus the update nerfing shadow stepping ended up specifically nerfing those skills. (Recall for instance is a maintained enchantment, which is automatically removed when the target gets out of range, so the nerf wouldnt apply to recall at all). Considering in this article that AoD is listed as a shadow stepping skill, I wish Koyashi, would have spent the time to check before reverting so quickly. --Draygo Korvan 12:01, 2 June 2006 (CDT)
