NB Cloak: Broken or WAI? (video)

Dark Cloak description: Gives player invisibility for 2.9 seconds and removes 4.0 damage over time effects.

Was a time when you could get aggro from these resources, hit cloak once, all incoming projectiles would miss and you would stay invisible for the full duration of the skill, and just cloak off with no damage. Since ZoS made adjustments to the cloak skill to fix the breaking on dots, its been the way shown in the video.

I can't see how this is working as intended. I am hitting cloak over and over, I'm still getting hit, its not staying active for 2.9 seconds and is continually breaking.

I just gave up on cloak.

it's more likely to work, when you cloak up before they aggro. i once walked to the banner with cloak on all the time and they did not attack me, but you gotta recast like once a sec to be sure you stay unseen.

Dark Cloak? More like Dark Joke.

Countered by any AoE, Magelight, potions and of course one of the escape skills from that other class that lacks reliable self-heals.

On top of that, it completely breaks down as soon as you get spotted and chased by NPC's, as shown in the video. It's a travesty.

According to Gina and their in-house testing team it is "working properly".

I made a thread about this months ago after the patch notes were incorrect in stating that it was fixed. Nothing ever came of it.

How can they possibly think the current state of cloak is working properly? It's a total joke. What planet do they live on?

@ZOS_GaryA‌ Can you tell us why you are having problems fixing it? 8 months and counting. Maybe if you tell us, we can try to work around it.

You guys made it better with the DoT fix patch, you really did. It seemed to work 80% of the time but after 1.5 it's been terrible.

Yes we are frustrated.

@ZOS: a good place to reproduce the issue with cloak is when fighting the zombies outside of Lost Prospect in The Rift. Cloak breaks 90% of the time for me when fighting them.

ZOS has stated in one of the Twitch programs that the only things that should break cloaking is damage from AoE attacks, Magelight or Detection potions*. They recognized that it's not working as intended (yet).

*Not 100% sure about the potions, I am about the other two.

AoE is supposed to break. Potions and magelight are supposed to reveal to the user.

I knew I messed up somewhere!

If you didn't connect the dots then I'm sorry for not being clearer. That's my bad.

When I quoted "Working properly" it was a direct quote from one of my forum posts where Gina stopped by to tell us it was fixed. To be more specific, it was projectiles breaking cloak. We all know that it obviously isn't working properly however Zenimax had the gall to tell us that it was in order to get them off the hook for putting a change in the patch notes that wasn't actually in the game. It's lol'worthy. Granted, Gina only tells us what she's told to. It's not really her fault and I don't blame her.

@ZOS_GinaBruno with 1.6 in the pipeline, is there going to be any modification of the NB cloak skill? I made this video to question whether cloak in its current form is working as intended or broken. Viewing the video, can you tell us if it is working as intended? Thanks.
