Sneak attacks not doing damage.

Elyna

As the title says. Ill use ambush or concealed weapon and it wont do any damage. The person falls over so it clearly hit them, it just didnt give me the extra damage.

a lot of people use impenetrable, which reduces critical damage.

Even with 5000 impenetrable, the first attack from sneak is critical.
Be sure you are behind the target to get full damage from sneak.

This, there are a lot of factors that could lead to not getting the extra damage that you anticipate. Just one example could be that you look like on your screen you are attacking your target from behind, but the actual server location is different (latency is something every game has to deal with and you must remember what you see on your screen is not always exactly "server truth")

This happens in PvE as well. It's not an Impenetrable issue.

then it sounds like to me its some kind of problem with the mechanics, or the server. I always assumed it was a player running impenetrable, seeing how most people these days use it.

same thing hapens to me. ill use snipe from stealth, sometimes they take damage and go back to full hp and reset. other times it does no damage at all. been like this for a few months

I have noticed the PVE sneak damage is much lower in the last week or so.
I dont think its completely removed....just much lower !??!?
Alas I dont have any stats to back this up without using addons.
Just feels that way.

Happens quite often in PvP.
