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.

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.

i've used [beguiling haze] before the aftercast nerf

[shadow fang] is teh only non-aftercast shadowstep

This is incorrect.

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.
