Related traits

Critical Strikes

• Signets of Power — Signets grant initiative.

Shadow Arts

• Shadow Savior — After completing a shadowstep, you are healed. Nearby allies are also healed for a larger amount. Only affects thief shadowsteps.

Acrobatics

• Hard to Catch — Gain endurance when you shadowstep.

Deadeye

• Payback — When Renewing Gaze triggers, this trait restores a portion of the recharge time needed by your healing, utility, and elite skills. Excludes racial skills.

Specter

• Traversing Dusk — Heal allies in the area around you when you shadowstep. Gain shadow force for each ally in the radius. Wells grant resistance on their initial impact.

Notes

• Can be cast with no enemy targeted; this way, it will function as a stun break with no shadowstep (and will not activate shadowstep traits, like Shadow Savior).
