    There was a time when abilities were cancelled when they went into stealth, even Meteor and Crystal Frags would just disappear in midair. At this point in time, pretty much every projectile now pops players who stealth between the time you fire it and the time it lands - this includes gap closers. There are at least a dozen counters you can use which will pop people out of stealth from ground targeted AOEs, stealth-specific counters (magelight, flare), and even potions.

    Please learn to use the tools at your disposal before just whining because someone escaped from you.

    Both of the nightblade cloak morphs suppress any and all DoT ticks for the duration, as opposed to just one of the morphs purging a negative effect, as it was previously.
    The generally amicable yet sporadically salty magplar that may or may not have 1vXed you in Sotha Sil. Who knows?

    The 'miss' from combat text makes it pretty easy to see where they are in stealth, though...

    No.

    Cloak still has a "forced miss" mechanic that makes almost every projectile miss for about a second after the skill firing.
    This also still works when the NB using cloak is visible due to an active detection potion.

    It´s very very very seldom to have a ranged projectile attack ignore cloaks forced miss (and it almost only happens when the server is lagging).

    Every other non projectile flagged ranged attack will hurt you though. Especially entropy.

    You say that, but my experience in Cyrodiil every day says differently. Maybe there are other issues at play, or server lag is more prevalent than seldom.

    Yea it's most definitely the lag that is causing it, but since it's always lagging projectiles will always hit you in cloak lol
