Thief Shortbow 3 animation bugged after patch

After this latest patch (something fourwinds) Theif SHORTBOW 3 have a backpaddling animation of 3-4 steps after the thiefs lands…this completly ruins the skill.

The actual skill animation is 1½-2 sec LOONG atm and you only evade for ½ sec wich makes you a do nothing for 1½ except looking stupid and backpaddling.

This completly ruins the defensive prospect of the shortbow and makes you a very easy target. Since you cant do anything while in the animation, not even change the direction you are backpaddling.

It is better to not use shortbow 3 at the current state. Just hope you have enough to use 5 atleast once
