Yet another New Nightblade Bug post 1.2

Shadowy Disguise no longer gives the crit bonus it should. I've used abilities with invisibility and crouching active and just crouching and they do the same amount of damage. This should /NOT/ be the case.

    Shadowy Disguise gives crit rate not crit bonus.

    I've had no issues with having skills crit from invisible since the patch.

    It never worked for me. It only applied to weapon attack but any weapon skill always seemed to break it before it went off - so it would work on a light attack basically making it pointless. That's why I changed it to the more useful Dark Cloak which also doesn't work properly. I need a third broken option to try.

    Shadowy Disguise also applies to Veiled Strike and it's morphs, Assassin's Blade, as well as the Assassination and Siphoning tree ultimate skills.
    It does not apply to Strife, Cripple or other spells based on Spell Crit.

    It should be giving 100% Crit rate, yes. However, it is not giving 100% Crit rate right now. Doing damage normally from crouched and invisibility, with Surprise attack, is not functioning as it did before patch. It is doing the same damage with invisibility and without invisibility, so either I am critting with every single ability(Unlikely.), without invisibility, or something is wrong. I can say for certain that something is wrong though. Pre patch, if I were to stealth up and invis behind a cloth wearing NPC, I could reliably, one shot them, with Surprise attack. Since the patch, this has not been the case. Even after the recent fix to Vet content.

    Further tests on all of the same mobs, with invisibility, and without invisibility, have seemed to support that for some reason, the ability is no longer giving the crit rate bonus it should and therefore there is no crits coming from the ability.

    I had this issue last night along with the assassins blade was it called?, not giving me health back when finishing with it. Both have been fixed for me since they hotfixed it sometime in the last day.

    Do you have Founry Tactical Combat to watch for the crits, or are you gauging based on visible damage?

    It's possible something has been bugged in Surprise Attack, I use Concealed Weapon morph and Shadowy Disguise is making it crit each time.

    Shadowy Disguise does not increase damage on regular sneak attacks -- if I am crouched and attack an enemy from behind it is the same damage whether I use Shadowy Disguise or not. This is the same behaviour as prior to the patch though.
    Sneak attacks while crouched behind the enemy always do higher damage than crits from Shadowy Disguise; this is due to the specific sneak attack bonus.

    As I don't have the same morph as you I cannot give feedback onto whether there is a morph-specific bug with Surprise Attack though.
