Shadowy disguise bugged

Tooltip says "Guarantees a Critical Strike on your next attack." It doesnt work, when I cloak myself and then ambush, it doesn´t crit every time. My normal crit chance, which is 68% is applied instead. Sometimes it crit, sometimes not.

    You are probably hitting a target with a shield (hardened ward, healing ward etc.). Shields can never be critically hit, even if your crit chance is 100%.

    I tried it yesterday over and over on one NPC mob. There isn not 100% crit chance for next attack for sure, like it should be. It seems, that your normal critical chance stat is applied instead, which is 68% in my case

    Yes, i tried it with different skills with the same resutl, so i guess it is shadowy disguise, that is bugged.

    I can confirm as well. Only way it "works" is if you are actually unnoticed by the enemy during strike i.e. no eyeball detection icon.

    If you are soloing, you can heavy sneak attack instead w/o detection and get the 100% crit attack every time. In my case, I can 1-hit enemies in the 40-60k range faster the Blade of Woe attacks, one after another as long as they aren't fully detecting you.

    The tooltip wording doesn't really match what the ability does.

    When you activate the cloak, you gain a buff called Precision. If you attack while this Precision buff is active, it should crit.

    However, Precision has a very short duration--same as the cloak itself. So you must attack before the cloak wears off--if your "next attack" happens after the cloak has worn off, it won't get Precision.

    You have to be cloaked when you hit the target. It's not like might of the guild where you get a 5sec window after cloak. You can be in stealth hit invisibility snipe and not get a crit. But if you snipe first then right before it lands on the target hit shadowy disguise it should crit.

    Thats sure thing, taht i need to be cloaked. You have 3 second window. Cloak - immediate attack - not crit

    Actually it does and very precisely. It says, that you have 3 second window for guaranteed crit. But in reality...Cloak - immediate attack - not crit.
