Shadowsteps have always had zero aftercast until the recent update. The update did not include [beguiling haze], however (test it yourself), this skill seems to show the same aftercast timing as the other skills.

I don't remember this skill ever having aftercast, not to mention wiki not mentioning anything here:

http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aftercast

While most will view this skill as deserving aftercast, I think it's just worthy to point out that this seems to be affected in the recent update, despite nothing shown.

I certainly don't remember it having aftercast, nor is it listed like I had stated.

It has always had a aftercast but it was never in the spell description

it's a teleport+daze+interrupt. all interrupts have aftercast (except melee interrupts). therefore, beguiling haze always had aftercast.

Aftercast increased on shadow-steps was a big mistake on Izzy's part. Very lame.

my question is does the interupt work at all or is still glitched?

But the broken mechanic was lame too. More lame in my opinion.

You forgot [scorpion wire] but it's not a direct shadowstep.

This is incorrect too.

All spells, sans Shadowstep spells (pre-Shadowstep update) have a 0.75s aftercast.

0 activation time skills (except for Air of Superiority, Burning Shield, Feral Aggression, Inspirational Speech and Ursan Force.) -> no aftercast.

Ranger and Paragon attack skills with 0.5s activation time <-- aftercast.

Attack skills not of the above <--- no aftercast.

Core & Prophecies Ranger preps <--- no aftercast.

Shadowsteps pre-update <--- no aftercast.

Shadowsteps post-update <-- all have 0 after cast except for the ones updated + Shadow Fang + Beguiling Haze.

all other skills <-- aftercast.

All Shadowsteps pre-update did not have aftercast, even if they were of a type that normally would, because the actual shadowstep movement canceled the aftercast.

Technically the skill shouldn't even mention that it interrupts. Dazed interrupts upon application.

Can you blame izzy for you being a bad guild wars player too?
