'''Shadowstep''' was added as the new 41 point talent in the [[Subtlety]] tree. It teleports you behind a target and gives you a damage bonus on your next ability.
 
   
== Tips ==
 
   
  +
See [[List of Netherstorm NPCs]].
Shadowstep replaces [[Cloak of Shadows]] as the final skill in the Subtlety tree. This skill greatly increases the functionality of any rogue willing to invest 41 points in Subtlety.

* The ability to cover up to 25 yards and increased movement speed gives a defining edge against opponents who like to kite the rogue from afar. Now you can just Shadowstep behind a [[Mage]] trying to land a nasty Pyroblast on you, and stun them.

Repeat violations may result in a BAN.
* Yet another interrupt in the rogue's arsenal. A well timed shadowstep will give an unhappy mage the message: Target needs to be in front of you.

Have a nice day. :) -->

* Extremely useful for chasing down runners and mounts. Vanish (if it isn't on cooldown), then Shadowstep + Cheapshot (You can also Gouge or use [[Crippling Poison]] on your OH) for a ranged stun or cripple. You can also Shadowstep while stealthed and Sap (Dirty Tricks makes this much more smooth) a mounted opponent, then do what you will with them.

* Careful when utilizing this talent near cliffs, especially in Outland. An unlucky rogue might accidentally send himself plummeting. Just cast [[Distract]] or wait for their back to be more sensible to Shadowstep behind.

[[Category:Netherstorm NPCs]]
 
* If you are chasing an enemy you can Shadow Step then Shiv Crippling Poison them so they can't escape. Shiv does NOT consume the Shadow Step damage buff.
 
 
* You can Shadowstep through walls and over gaps.
 
 
* If you run and jump off one side of a gap, you can "grapple hook" over to the other side by Shadowstepping an enemy on the other side. This could also be used if you accidentally fall off an edge and your target is still alive to pull yourself back up.
 
 
== Patch changes ==
 
* As of patch 2.3, Shadowstep can be used in combat. This gives the rogue the ability to dump aggro with Shadowstep, and worry much less about grabbing aggro with a big Ambush due to the 50% threat reduction.
 
 
* As of patch 2.3.2, the talent [[Preparation]] now resets the cooldown on Shadowstep.
