I can seemingly never get away anymore.

I'm thinking 20% escape success when pvping nowadays!

Can someone educate me on what happened to this skill recently? maybe help me getgood?

    Don't use it when close to someone, ez fix. Cloak has never worked amazingly because of the hundreds of ways to reveal someone. Simply use shadow image to create distance and then cloak away.

    Its base duration was shortened to 1 second, and increases up to 3 seconds with the proper class passive. Aside from that, no idea. But seing how Nightblades are "loved" by the combat team (understand they hate them with a passion), I wouldn't be surprised that there is something else.

    That, or they just botched it, like so many things lately.

    The issue is def that NB Cloak, without the 5th shadow passive, is useless as a cloak. yeah, sure it gets 3secs now instead of 2.5 BUT you have to basically finish leveling the shadow line without it in order to unlock the extra time. this was a stupid change by ZOS. Being able to stealth away is an integral part of the NB persona- particularly mag nb. I wish they'd have left it alone. an extra half a second is not worth it when leveling your nb. As soon as you can morph it to the stam version you get SIX second duration for that buff. but if you want to actually cloak? Nah, screw you it seems.... level 39 shadow just to get 2 secs out of it. 1 isn't even something you can spam fast enough to actually work. :(

    Shadowy Disguise got a teensy buff. Just don't be in an aoe or anywhere close to a reveal.

    Am I the only one that fully levels up and prepares my character before throwing it into pvp?
