Spiked Armor, Sheer Venom and Vicecannon

Amorpho

When either Sheer Venom or Vicecannon proc on DKs with Spiked Armor up (whichever the morph) the poison ticks not only take Nightblades out of cloack but even reflect their damage (which is only supposed to happen against melee attacks). This issue was already present with Vicecannon in previous patches and never got fixed. So much so that I decided to switch to Sheer Venom. I spent almost half a million gold to buy key-fragments to farm the right traits in IC Prison, getting ready for Morrowind. You can imagine my frustration and disappointment when I realised that Sheer Venom was even more bugged than Vicecannon (since not only was I taken out of stealth but the poison damage was even reflected). Please fix this ASAP. Either Spiked Armor is broken or Vicecannon's and Sheer Venom's dot damage is wrongly counted as melee damage.

Sheer Venom is breaking cloak from enemy players. Advantageous for Sheer Venom wearers but not fun for any nightblade trying to use a core class ability.

Spiked Armour prevents Surprise Att stun from stealth since its reflect damage is calculated first and breaks the cloak, which should not happen tbh.

What do you mean "breaking cloak FROM enemy players"? Also, the damage reflected is not the one from Surprise Attack or any Direct Damage (which is supposed to be reflected). What is broken is the fact that the Sheer Venom DOT is actually reflected against you!

Whichever way we look at it, both these sets are completely screwed up by Spiked Armour. ZOS, I beg you, fix this! @ZOS_GinaBruno
