Why some buffs reveal and some don't reveal yourself from hidden?

Hi,

Why is this? Like, if you use Rally you remain hidden, but if you use Molten Weapons you reveal yourself.

Is it because with Rally you buff only your character and with Molten you buff others? All buff skills in all classes work the same?

If so, ZOS, is it possible to review these skills (Molten, Igneous Shield, etc., etc., etc.) to make them reveal yourself only if you buff others when you use them?

Currently, if I'm alone in PvP, go hidden and then use Rally to buff my weapons I remain hidden, but if I use Molten to buff my weapons then I go out of hidden, even if I don't buff anyone else.

Thank you.

Molten armaments also gives a 20% magic buff to allies,hence the stealth break.

I can see why group heals reveal yourself, it wouldn't be fun if you were fighting someone in Cyrodiil and that someone had a friend in stealth nearby just spamming heals.

That's what I mention in my original post guys, that those skills buff other players too, and so I then ask ZOS to review the skills for the possibility of not taking you out of hidden if you don't buff others when you use them.

Yep, channeled/restoring focus are perfect examples. I'd very much rather have them take back the 30% snare when enemies are in them so I can buff my armor without revealing myself before a fight. What good is a 30% snare that covers an area so small that two steps in any direction takes you are out of the radius?
