New bugs in 3/6 abilities in the Shadow skill line. What. the. Hell.

Make a clip about 100% crit heals while cloaked (shadowy disguise).

NB seems to have had the most broken abilities since launch. Good grief.

Applying crippling grasp and then cloaking before crippling grasp hits also pull you out of cloak.

The best would be to remove cloak from the game and replace it with something else...

ManDraKE

lighting heavy attacks also break cloak, it has been like that for almost a year

ManDraKE

you should post them on the bugs section. Can't remeber the last time i saw a dev replying something in this subforum

Im a NB and I can agree with this.

Yep, I've been consistently getting pulled out of cloak by this bug lately. It happens extremely often since any decent player is going to weave a light attack before casting an ability on you.

Soul trap wrecks cloak with every tick

I also would love to see the answer to this one and shadow image bug. When they fix it (if zos can manage that, because they never confirmed this bug and the only thing I saw is some BS "we are always listening to you, bla bla bla") I might dust off my stam NB again... Now it is pointless...

Thanks for the video @Velukodi. We're looking into a fix for this issue.

I don't have a clip, but the following two screenshots are showing a combat log and that every heal is a crit heal while in cloak (shadowy disguise). First screenshot not cloaked, second cloaked (first tick of the second "combat" was outside of cloak in the combat log).
My character was naked (only a restoration staff equiped for obvious reasons) and had no CPs assigned. Not that it makes a difference whether you have CPs/gear or not, but I wanted to reduce the critchance. And it doesn't make a difference if in combat or not, every heal will crit if cloaked.

@ZOS_GinaBruno, please let the dev team have a look into this very old bug, too.


Without cloak
With cloak

hm, I wonder when the day will come that instead of trying to fix cloak they just change it to something else.

Yep, can confirm - Shadowy Disguise has worked like that with heals since... forever, basicly.


However, your heals will not have a guaranteed crit (not even the first heal tick) if you have even one DoT effect on any target (as the first DoT tick will consume the guaranteed crit), which is another bug.


To be honest, ZOS should just make everything crit by default as long as Shadowy Disguise buff is active. Would fix all these bugs and make that morph be a viable alternative to Dark Cloak (-8% damage taken for 5s).
