Shadow Jump

From Rasael:

- Shadow Jump range set to Long.

Not sure if the dev team is aware since this feat has been altered with the last patch it seems but it didnt even work before nor does it work now. Whenever i use it i get the message "You cannot teleport to this location.".

Also would it be possible to remove the casting time on this? Ki-Step works instantly with no CD. Shadow Jump has a 5 minute CD so why does it also need a casting time?

It is a spell. All spells have casting time. One can use quickened.

Reworking it to an instant click-jump is up as a suggestion / on the to-do list. There's a thread up in QC comparing abilities like this aiming to tweak them for efficiency and make them better balanced.

What maps have you tested it on? When I tested it a month or two ago it worked in "general" areas, like the eastern farmlands.

Shadowdancers shadowstep is not a spell it is a supernatural ability.

Also it cannot be quickened.

Ive tested it in the UD on several areas. It used to work a while back but now it doesnt anymore.

Thanks for letting me know about the discussion thread! If Ki-Step is instant i see no reason why this shouldnt be especially with a 5 min CD. Lore wise it also makes no sense.

Yeap, thats my mistake. Read it too fast and the mention of casting time made me think of the spell sgadow door etc...

No objection about having the SDs ability instant.
