Shift not creating shadow?

I have lasting presence as a shift skill which says,

you leave behind a shadow at the place you shifted from

only, i shift, and I don’t see a shadow…

Should look like this. Worked immediately for me.

huh, I guess it is working.

I assumed the “shadow” would be a shadowy figure that looked like my character and ran around attacking until it’s timer expired.

Your picture shows that the round circular thing is the “shadow” ?

Now to figure out if it’s actually attacking anything.

the shadow stuff is a really neat idea but i’m having a bit of trouble figuring out how it works even with the help of a build guide i found.

Exactly, yes.
There was a question couple of days ago about shadow mechanics. If you are interested you can read through it here:

tldr: There are couple of skills like Shurikens, Acid Flask or Shadow Cascade that the Shadows can interact with, once they got spawned by one of your attacks like Shift or Smoke Bomb.

No, the shadow is just a shadow-y figure that stands in-place until it’s time runs out or you use one of the skills that it can copy (Shadow Cascade, Shuriken & Acid Flask).

ok, thx.

i have the shadow cascade skill in shift too which says

you attack with shadow cascade at end of shift

ok, maybe next time i should read the description of the skill :

A circular attack that's also used by your shadow clones. Requires dual wielding.

So that’s where the circular effect comes from ?

Yup. And if you use shift to proc it you don’t need to dual wield.
