I get where you're coming from. This really is an assassination setup skill, and it isn't much of an assassination if the target knows when you're going to attack. Kind of defeats the very purpose of stealthy approach.

I know what you're saying it's silly to let people know so clearly they are being targeted, it's not much of an assassination if you know you're about to be killed.That said, I love putting it on someone and watching their group spend 15 mins looking for me while I sneak past them, go through the gate and make it to the keep I was heading for.

Hah, I will admit it is definitely good for that but that doesn't really help us out except when we need a little bit of a giggle. I ripped one guy i think it was yesterday who was alone and like 6 of his buddies saw me but I got back into stealth pretty quick, instantly 6 mage lights come on and they fan out but Dark Stalker perk ftw... got me the heck out of there and I just watched them bolt/run around for a while.

And actually @cjmarsh725b14_ESO I'm not sure your mark is visible to other players. I'm pretty sure the only person who sees the mark is you and your target because I've been marked and I asked my friend over the mic if he saw it and he didn't see the pillar. I've also seen nightblades do a casting animation and nothing else comes out and since I saw no speed burst it couldn't have been Path so I assumed they marked someone. I wouldn't mind my teamates seeing the mark but the enemy should not but I really wouldn't care if it was invisible to all but me. Hell I would even love for it to be combined with Path of Darkness and have them leave a trail behind them for me to track that speeds me up!

Not often am I able to mark and get the jump on someone effectively. Unless they crouch and think that they are hidden, but my morph can see pass that, so meh. Other then that it is good when they are on horseback since there is usually a response delay from most players

I personally do not mind the personal debuff, it makes the skill way more interesting. You can't just spam it on everyone you fight (well you can't anyways cause the magicka cost is pretty damn high) because if you pop it on another DPS they could rip you up pretty bad. If the debuff was taken away then the debuff it gives the enemy would be reduced most likely.

I like knowing I'm marked.

Of course you do...

To the OP, I agree. In my opinion, either remove the incredibly obvious animation or remove the debuff to the caster because having both takes away from any usefulness that the skill would have.

I love the floating magelights and pets when someone is in stealth lol. I am like wth random mudcrab running across a field....

Really? Tell us more about these random thoughts of yours.

Cool, but this is a thread about Mark Target, not Magelight or pets...

Magelights aren't visible while stealthed, atleast I have never seen anyone. The pets I rarely ever see anymore but c'mon.. that is an oversight by ZOS. Make the fluff pets go invisible atleast. The normal pets one should probably have a morph and be your "stealth pet" or some armor set or something.. pets very badly need some love.

He's talking about the vanity pets. And if you're trying to stealth in PvP with your monkey or mudcrab or whatever out, you kind of deserve to be noticed. Totally agree with you about the summons though.

Bolded for truth

So here you go. Mark someone. When he blocks to counter, use the stealth snipe attack to kill his friend. Then mark said friend just before they die and get a buff kill original blocker who is now probable all berserkergang on you for killing his buddy.
