Rending Shade Bugged?

[Bunny.9834]

This trait doesn't trigger consistently with Scepter. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. 

I've tried it on boonless enemies. 
I've tried using it behind enemies. 

I've tried it on enemies that ARE susceptible to CCs. 

This trait doesn't have ICD so it should work every time it procs.

Have you tested in melee vs range? If I recall correctly, the effect happens around you, not whatever you're hitting.

oh i havent tried it that way. 

The wording is confusing, cause it says “Striking a boonless foe with a stealth attack inflicts fear on nearby foes.”.  

I interpret that as nearby to the foe you strike with your stealth attack.

There are a few such issues floating around. It's been years and Pistol Whip still doesn't say in the tooltip that it has an evade on it, for example. Anet tooltips can be very misleading.

Can confirm it works, the "nearby" portion does indeed work around the Thief, not around the target
