Change targetted shadowstep skills to be line of sight, true teleports (like Necrotic Traversal). Mechanically, this would be similar to firing an invisible, near instant-hit arrow at the target. If it connects, the assassin has a clear view of the destination and teleports to it.

This will open certain areas up more, such as Urgoz's Warren and Dunes of Despair, where completion/exploration requires the use of Necrotic Traversal or Consume Corpse, and possibly more skills to bring the rest of the party along.

Further, this will eliminate frustration for melee characters in situations like the opening half of Assault On The Stronghold, where you have to sit and wait for the Saurus to break down the door. Meanwhile, spellcasters/rangers can reduce the charr numbers on the walls.

This could probably also be safely implemented in pvp. With the line of sight requirement, even as a teleport, you couldn't bypass defenses in all situations.
