Please Please Please fix my NB Stealth

IzzyDerm15

Anything greater than 1 on 1, and I get broken out of stealth....and that is in PvE, I don't even care about PvP. With a slew of useless DW abilities for a NB, Stealth is critical.

I am not asking you to make it easier to spam Stealth, but if I go stealth in a 3 on 1 fight, I shouldn't still be getting hit....

You are killing NB's Zenimax..... and none of your patches, patch fixes etc have addressed this.

I come close to death frequently as an NB, but I wouldn't do so if this game were more heavily based on skill and not bugs.

Why would anyone invest points in a skill that doesn't work.

Failure to address Stealth for NB's is a Failure of the entire class

Thank you for posting a comment that is completely irrelevant to my original post.

The cloak must be fixed. No sense have an ability that works 30% of times in pvp.

Unfortunately, your ability to stealth is heavily, and I mean heavily, dependent on when you cast it, in relation to other animations and ticks.
In PVE, I rarely, even when using Blood Craze, get taken out of stealth, but that's because I have timed my stealth to just after a heal tick, and dot tick on them.
What is happening, is that when a response comes back from the server on damage to the creature, and the stealth input from the client has not registered yet on the server, you get knocked out of stealth immediately.
Trust me, I know what you are talking about. It happens to me as well, and it's beyond annoying. I'm just letting you know you can work around it.
This doesn't mean it shouldn't be fixed, because it shouldn't require such prefect timing just to use a base skill in the game.

SO in a mob of three, i go in stealth, stun the first person (healer/caster wharves) then while he is stunned, usually enemy #2 or #3 is powering up there mega hit, I go stealth again, try to get to the side or behind #2 or #3 so I can stun them before going back to healer, however, while I am stealth for #2 or #3, I still get knocked back/stunned/or paralyzed as if I was just standing there non-stealth

This would be fine in lower levels, but I am getting into the big boy leagues now, and need to be fine with taking down 2-3 enemy mobs at a time. I can't do this without stealth unless I re-roll a DK, or spend 25,000 gold on respecting to a destro staff range NB which I want NOT to do.

You can use dots, but you have to time your stealth so the dot does not tick right when you stealth. It's not easy, but is doable.

I wouldn't mind being pulled out of stealth so much if the effect of Shadowy Disguise actually lasted the full duration regardless.
As it stands, Shadowy Disguise provides a guaranteed crit, as well as activates the CC aspect of Veiled Strike.
If invisibility breaks before casting Veiled Strike, neither the crit nor the CC occur.

The combo has a base cost of 700 Magicka, and even at that price stealth may break unexpectedly, leaving the second skill veritably useless.

Yea, I don't have this problem. DoTs always seemed kind of weak in this game anyway.

At least they don't reset when stealth does work.... like some games

This is the precise draw back of the entire bug, my veiled strike is rendered useless, I can't stun, which means I have 3 angry NPC's trying to kill me. My Magica is already down a ton, and now i have to block up to 2-3 heavy hits, roll away and pray that stealth will work again.

Atrocious... FIX NOW

It's not broken.

In PvP you must use it smart. As DK - when I see NB using stealth, I spam roots, NB get dmg and when you get damage, your stealth end. Simple.

AoE spells = useless stealth.

sometimes the enemies still see you while cloaked. even if it does not stop on you, they sometimes still see you:(
