Interesting little detail about Omen's Shadow step

I find that a lot of omen players (including myself) sometimes like to make outplays w/ Omen's shadow step by TP'ing behind enemy players, or on elevated grounds.

More than enough times I've seen people try to make a quick play, by pulling out their knives and running toward the destination they wish to TP to, once they get to the TP destination their knives are out rather then a rifle and they get killed because of it.

You can actually cycle through your weapons while in the act of TPing; so if you're holding your knife while TPing, you can cycle to your rifle while you debuff from your ability.

This allows you to move faster or make fast plays, and quickly switch to your weapon rather then TP with your knife out and then pull out your gun.

It probably seems like a stupid and small detail, but those precious milliseconds make the difference between an awesome play and a poopoo TP.
