Thief has many issues that are 3yrs old and I doubt that is their intention. I think 3 years is a nice period to classify something as ‘working as intended.’ Shadowstep stompping is obviously not their intention, which they have expressed in the past when they nerfed Sword #2. That won’t make sense nor reasonable because they are working as intended. The only acceptable “safe” stomp is faking it to bait the counter before actually stompping.īetter get rid of stab, blind, distortion, stealth, invuln, and impact strike then. What makes no sense is that something like this undermines the downed state, makes the whole downed skills useless, and takes away the risk of trying to stomp someone due to a long casting time.Īll theses are in place to counter or delay a stomp, yet it’s being bypassed by shadowstep stompping. Even if you decide to use the SB 5 trick, it still requires at least a 20 sec CD (steal) to work. It is a 50 sec CD and one of our only safe stomps. If they finally nerfed shadowstep stomping then good.
