Why I Think the Dark Cloak Change Did Not Make Sense

LeifErickson

So, as you guys already know, dark cloak no longer cleanses dots. Instead, dots tick for 0 damage during the cloak duration. It seems to me that the problem with the old dark cloak is that it was too much of a hard counter against dot builds. I can see that, but wasn't that kind of the point? Nightblades were the hard counter to dots, and that wasn't OP because Sorcs were the hard counter to crit damage (shields cannot be critted) and DKs were the hard counter to projectiles (they could reflect them back at the caster). Now NBs do not have this hard counter while Sorcs and DKs still have theirs (minus the meteor change). I don't know too much about Templars, but you guys have that cleanse thing right?

So my point is, I don't think dark cloak should have got changed. What do you guys think?

I think capital letters should mostly only be reserved for the first word of a sentence.

You know that shields were undotable until this update and templars can still purge it.

Dark Cloak change is fine if they actually made it work the way it's now supposed to instead of the hit and miss it is atm. What we do need is a stamina based purge that all classes can access.

This changes nothing I used to double bar cloak now I have it on my off bar with efficient purge on my main cut still removes DoTs but also cuts new DoTs power. I played well when Cloak turned you translucent but not invisible to enemies don't work not fully worth two slots now.

Just hit an ePurge and DoTs are right back to useless.

This change was unnecessary, but dark cloak should break on using vigor/rally/similar stuff.

Dark cloak was fine purging dots, however, it was not fine for you nbs to purge dots while you were standing in caltrops. The skill was, imo, buggy because it allowed that to happen.

The new version of the skill is an improvement while still giving you the ability to avoid the damage. Now we dotters have the ability to counter your purging as well as your invisibility. Now it is therefore more balanced.

I think he was confused by the class names being proper nouns... which... *shrugs*

I like the change to cloak. Allows DoTs + Magicka DKs to be more viable. However it was done sloppily....

ZOS needs to cleanup bugs like:
1) single target abilities pulling you out of cloak
2) DoTs pulling you out of cloak for each tick while still doing their damage, which is NOT a suppress effect
