I still can't figure out how to use the shadowstep ability. Can anyone help me?

Thanks!

    It can not be used when an enemy is nearby. (Bug or feature?) Only useful for covering a good distance before combat starts while time is practicaly stopped for everyone. You can position your char to a safe shadowy place and hide and plan your attack.

    Sorry, I don't have a SD high level enough to have actually gained Shadowstep yet since I'm going back and forth as to what class I'd like to take over to BG2:EE but AFAIK the ability is currently bugged.

    That's bugged to the extent that it's only usable *out of* combat if I've understood the situation correctly. Overall, the kit seems to have a few problems ATM, such as cooldowns not going off for HiPS unless you fail the check. (this is where I'd like someone to chime in to confirm whether in-combat Shadowstep works or not)

    Also, +1 saving throw does not seem to work. And backstab modifier is not reduced. Still, the kit is fun for HiPS.

    I'm like 95% sure I've seen one of the beta testers confirm that not being able to use shadowstep in combat is a bug.

    About the shadowstep ability, as Aosaw said:
    Aosaw said:


    Shadowstep was intended to be usable during combat but not allow combat actions during the effect; the idea being that you can use it when a fight becomes too much, move out of the area, and then regroup or take to the shadows.

    There are other applications, naturally, but that's how it's supposed to work.

    So, with all this bugs, we need to wait the next patch to be able to judge the ShadowDancer class.

    You could do that...

    Or you could download the quick fixes I threw together for the SD bugs that I provided for the impatient ones such as myself.

    Edit: Or you could wait... The fix wasn't working properly.

    Well I do have the fix working now but I'm not sure I want to give it out or not after the first time when I screwed up.
