It's interesting to see that this is the only thief trap (ranger as well?) that can be destroyed. Probably to prevent issues where the thief could step to two different targets.--Oxyggjq 01:52, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

10,000 Range[edit]

Ok, I was testing this out today and I highly doubt it's 10,000 range. How I checked this is I used Infiltrator's Arrow only to move 9900 range (900r x 11 uses) in a straight line and when I triggered this skill, the skill fizzled without me moving. What I then proceeded to do was reduce the Infiltrator's arrow jumps. At 4500 range (5 uses) it finally worked and sent my thief back to the trap. I tested this in the heart of the mists starting at the west-most heading east to try to eliminate elevation as a variable. On another point, I haven't checked the range on Shadow Pursuit. If anyone else can test this, I would appreciate it as I may have missed something. --Hinako (talk) 15:12, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, after more testing, I noticed that it failed at about 1500 range due to a branch! I fired off the full 9900 range, but there is a catch... you need direct line of sight to the trap... there cannot be ANY obstructions such as trees, walls, hills etc. I tested in queensdale going from the hill at Crossing Waypoint towards the west where it is just open fields. I would add this fact to the main page if I knew how. --Hinako (talk) 15:49, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

If someone could verify my own findings, this does not require line of sight, but pathing to the trap point must be free of unclimbable terrain. My experience has been you can have the trap around walls and it will teleport you correctly so long as you could walk there without jumping. Turbo404 (talk) 03:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

Shadowstep/Teleport[edit]

The distinction between these isn't clear to me, and despite the notes on this page listing it as a "shadowstep instead of a teleport" on account of needing "direct unobstructed line of sight," this skill is listed on the teleport page and NOT the shadowstep page.
