Dark Cloak not removing Mark Target

ZoM_Head

So in pvp, i can remove any kind of negative effects, be it fire, snares, bleed, roots etc.

There was this one player that kept marking my character, despite being able to remove 4 negative effects over time, it was never going away. I even waited the 2.9 seconds and "reapplied" the dark cloak several times and i was still marked and not going away.

With that said, despite being "hidden" that player was still able to hit and defeat my character every single time. My character was not dodging or missing any of that player's attacks even when hidden.

I tested this against other players using flying blade (which is what that player was using), and i was able to dodge several flying blades.

So, either there is a bug with marked target being unavoidable in combination with flying blade, or that player was exploting something else i can not explain.

Purge/Efficient Purge works just fine on all negative effects (even marked target) despite it only removing 2 negative effects.

Can anyone else confirm this with Dark Cloak removing marked target + flying blade combo?

Marked Target is not remove by shadow cloak, you are marked until it's purge.

you are wrong, u cant remove any kind of negative effects. you cant remove curse (sorc skill, for exemple) or even roots and snares. u will need purge (alliance skill) to clean that.

I can make a video showing how i remove all negative effects using dark cloak in pvp (except marked target).

i would like to see the video of dark cloak removing sorc curse and templar eclipse. As long as i know, Dark cloak only removes DOT, its been like that for ages. It also removes DK dark talon due it partly dot based.

Just removed marked target several times.

It seems it is buggy where it sometimes works and sometimes does not.

I will record and link a video shortly, if thornblade on EU does not crash us again...

Never removes it for me.

Can someone tell me if i stealth normal, or cloak, can i still be seen, if i have been tagged?

Mark target is removed from you if the caster puts it on someone else. Maybe its coincidence its occurring as you hit dark cloak now and again.

Cloak never removed Mark Target from you.

Could be.

But then, purge removes 2 negative effects effects (per use), so dark cloak removes 4 negative effects, but does not remove marked target....is that another bug?

Probaly "Piercing Mark" not "Mark Target". It's a morph.

Marks a target for death. Player's attacks ignore 75% of target's Armor and Spell Resistance, but target's attacks ignore 75% of player's Armor and Spell Resistance. Killing a marked target restores player's Health by 40%. Marked targets are revealed to player.
New Effect:
Reduced cost and you can see target if they stealth or go invisible.

It does not matter, if my character goes invisible the enemy applying the effect may still see my character, but again that is not the point. "Removes 4 negative effects over time" is what i am arguing about.

Purge removes 2 negative effects, Dark Cloak removed 4, yet marked target is not getting cleaned, but i can get out of talons, daedric curse, burning/chilled/shocked effects, snares etc.

Sadly, Dark Cloak only removes Dot's. It's poor wording in the tooltip.

"Removes 4 negative effects over time"
Should read
"Removes 4 Damage over time effects" to make it a bit less confusing.

However, because it does cleanse, for example, Burning Talons, which is considered a negative effect over time "Root AND Dot". The description actually is correct in this instance. It has to do with the confusing classifications on some abilities.

I can assure you Dark Cloak has never removed Mark Target "Or Piercing Mark" in this case.

And to answer your question as to why you were still being hit in stealth, Piercing Mark is a Morph of Mark, which once applied to an enemy, keeps them visible to the player for the duration. Here are 4 general ways to remove or deal with this in pvp.

1) Purge

2) Kill the caster

3) Invisibility potions ( they are short duration, but do work)

4) Die

Obviously combining #1 and #2 are my favorite

The problem with Dark Cloak at the moment is that I think people with mage light can still see you even when you cloak.
When you are in stealth with eye fully closed enemy players with mage light and detection potions in use should be able to see you, but if in stealth or out when you cast cloak for 2.9 seconds you should not be targetable by anyone. This is simply not how its working though.
Ive also mark targeted players and players in my group are able to see the target aswell (shouldn't it be just me)

Some time it works sometimes it don't, its just annoying in the fact that is a major skill that makes or breaks your game play. Its just the same as if Green Dragon Blood not healing you if more that 3 people target you, or bolt escape animation plays but you don't actually move forward.
