  • Shadow Trap: This skill no longer shadowsteps the thief when the trap is triggered.
    • This skill now has two additional abilities:
      • The first ability becomes available when Shadow Trap is cast and will destroy the current trap.
      • The second ability, Shadow Pursuit, becomes available when an enemy triggers the trap. The thief may choose to activate this ability and shadowstep to the enemy that triggered the trap. If this ability is not activated after 10 seconds, the ability will fade and Shadow Trap will be available.
