Blind Fire pulls out of stealth!?

generalmyrick

why? what idiot complained and got that put in the game?

Nyladreas

Eh? What are you even talking about.

Are you referring to the fact that people can use AoEs blindly to try and find you in stealth or what? Cause if it is then it should be like that, you are invisible not immune to damage. If that was not it then I have no idea.

blind light attacks with staves pulling folks out of stealth from 20 meters+ away.

when we enter stealth, we should stay in stealth until we attack people or interact with the environment.
nothing more should take us out of stealth.

This idea is one of the dumbest I have heard on the forums here in years...

If NOTHING pulled you out, how would you ever die?

AoEs should take you out, if not then stealth would be way to OP.

What the OP is talking about is the practice of firing ranged attacks in the general direction of where you might think someone is in stealth. It's been a practice in PvP for years. Why? because it can hit a player in stealth and reveal them.

This used to be a huge problem just like guys in cloak getting crit charged with light and heavy attacks hitting. I think it was related to using tab targeting with an ability to break cloak. I've honestly not seen much of an issue on this lately but if it's still going on then it's a continuation of a long term problem with cloak/stealth.

AOE damage always breaks cloaked or stealthed players. Direct attacks should miss cloaked players..always. It's intended that way I think, but, I don't believe it always works that way.

If you're in stealth and just standing in a single spot not moving, or if an enemy is obviously looking around in your direction and you still don't move, then it's your fault for getting hit.

It's just lag people.... jesus.

I thought light attacks couldn't pull someone out of stealth but heavy attacks can? And lightning and resto can't attck anyway, and fire Staff and bow don't work because they're range...

But you can def pull someone out of stealth with a melee heavy attack.

that would explain a lot, but it seemed like a lot longer than lag usually takes! :-)

obviously a nightblade that doesnt know how to fight.
your the guy that pops out with a combo, realizes it wont kill me and goes back into stealth.
i respect the nightblade that fight after the initial burst, win or lose

I've had a similar problem where no AOE's where around and I was pulled out of stealth by single target abilities with no notification I was detected. I've reported the issue a few times now with no response from ZOS. When i made a post in forums under bug reports people where saying detect pots can get you pull you out of stealth but still there was no notification if this where true so I had to test it. When tested with a friend on a different alliance the detect pots do NOT notify you that you are detected. I don't know if this is what you are referring to but hopefully it will be of some use.

This is probably what OP encountered. Detect pots make you visible without "breaking" your stealth, so effects that activate while "hidden" still function, but you can be targeted by enemies.
