    Recent Changes to Dark Sight:

    [​IMG] Dark Sight
    While this change affects both thief classes, we think Shadowers will benefit the most from the quality of life changes we added to Dark Sight as being in Dark Sight is part of their attacking skillset:
    - You can now press Dark Sight again to cancel it, like a toggle
    - You can now press any attack to leave Dark Sight (attack will not register, you will have to re-press it)
    - You can now use Heroes Will while being in Dark Sight

    Expectation: Pressing a macro'd skill other than Assassinate should cancel Dark Sight.

    Issue: Pressing a macro'd skill (including Dark Sight) doesn't leave Dark Sight.

    My macro of Darksight->Assassination->B-Step gets me locked into Dark Sight, when having to move with arrow keys mid macro (cancels macro), and subsequently killed as pets cannot Pot you in Dark Sight but boss AoE still hits.


    Thanks!!

    This sounds like a much bigger issue than just 1 person reporting it, given how many shad players there are.

    what do you mean by “gets me locked into Dark Sight, when having to move with arrow keys mid macro”. You mean you moved with arrow key and so assassinate didn’t get a chance to cast in the macro so nothing actually cancelled dark sight?

    That's correct. I can still leave Darksight by using another skill or darksight again as long as they aren't in a macro.

    The issue I'm describing occurs a lot, as you know bosses constantly knock you around and you have to re-adjust positioning to hit. This is much more noticeable killing world bosses as they aren't locked in a fixed position and you have to chase them down with assassinate.

    Oooohhh so you’re saying the dark sight that is listed first in your macro doesn’t get you out of dark sight. Got it.

    Can confirm. Macro with darksight as first skill does not cancel dark sight. Only a non-macro darksight can. Not sure if this is the expected behavior, but if fixed would be a huge quality of life buff for shads.
