Well...
It should.
It negates single target effects cuz... duh
It nullifies dots. It’s like a no temporary purge.
It’s a no class identity that’s not op. Every build can counter it in 1 way or another, unlike wings pre elsweyr, so it’s not op. No need for nerf.
It takes a lot of skill to cloak in and out of players without being caught out.
(Just has to make it clear)
The OP is just a salty zergling who got sniped by a ganker (probably me)
And detect pots allow u to see a player. What part of that means that they take dot dmg?
U can then hit them w single target skills to pull them out of cloak
Well you cant say detect pots, magelight and all that lets you see them is a counter if you still cant really hit them.

I believe cloak should either get the streak treatment. Or ZOS should undo the nerfs to shields, streak, and dodge rolls. Because these abilities offers less than what cloak offers.

Requesting nerfs to khajits and bosmers while orcs and bretons exist is peak forum trolling tbh.

Nightblades have been nerfed more than any other class in game for multiple consecutive patches. They are literally a liability in high level matches.
If you are struggling against them, there's a good chance that the necessary changes have to do with your build. Not ZoS.
What class/build are you unable to counter cloak with?

I highly agree with you. However bretons are only a top tier race because without them sustaining magicka specs becomes unbearable. Soon as sustain for magicka specs gets better. Bretons will go back to being a sup optimRoyalthought wrote: »ThePhantomThorn wrote: »All are fine, but cloak should not give immunity to most attacks when the NB is detected by pots, magelight, etc. Otherwise; most NBs are just a nuisance these days

Obviously you didn't read my post. Me personally, don't struggle against Nightblades outside those Super Nightblade Gods that don't take damage but can one shot whole teams in BGs. I clearly stated from my personally expereience playing on both my Magicka and Stamina Nightblades. Cloak is currently overtuned and overloaded compared to other defensive and offensive options that have been harshly nerfed. There is a difference. Don't believe me? I've posted videos of my performance on my two Nightblades on these forums. Was only met with more strawman comments.
Anything else you’d like nerfed?
Yes actually I am glad you asked. I would personally like Healing done on other players to be halved by battle spirit, so people actually have to heal themselves in PvP. Too many people getting carried by other people healing them, it needs to stop.
As for cloak, it’s a cowards ability especially paired with snipe. Spamming cloak and snipe from the back of a zerg takes 0 skill whatsoever yet it somehow does more damage then someone in your face spamming Dizzy.
I would like Khajiit and Bosmer nerfed for RP reasons.
Thanks for asking!

"Too many people getting carried by other people healing them"
I guess it's called group/team play, no? Go get your own group then. It's totally legal to run within a group that heals/buffs you. If you're talking about ball groups – well, it's another story.
"Spamming cloak and snipe from the back of a zerg takes 0 ... somehow does more damage then someone in your face spamming Dizzy."
I can spam light attack from zerg and you'll be dead as well. Problem isn't because of cloak + snipe but because of zerg. Ye, the whole concept of running as a big nobrain mass requires no skill at all. And this is another level problem that doesn't relate to cloak/snipe.
"I would like Khajiit and Bosmer nerfed for RP reasons."
Without joking – man, rp has nothing to do with combat balance.

You obviously didn't even bother to read his comment but dare to reply on it? And even with a garbage comment like "l2p issue/ git gud/ adapt and overcome". He made a legit point, streak and dodge roll received a fatigue penalty to prevent people from spamming it. Btw, no, it's NB's who need to "git gud".
Anyone who defends a broken ability like cloak, is a gankblade that doesn't know how to fight properly, and is not even interested at fighting someone without having an advantage.
I would like to personally invite everyone saying “L2P” to a duel on the Public Test Server so they may indeed show me how. I would like to see for myself in what areas I need to improve.
Unless you will meet me for a duel on PTS you have no right to tell me to L2P, as it is possible I am in fact better then you.

Anyone who considers an ability which already has so many hard counters and the only ability that keeps NB even slightly relevant at the moment to be "broken" clearly never plays the nightblade class and should not be commenting trying to get peoples classes nerfed when they are simply not skilled enough or too lazy to use the many counters which are available against this ability..

Usually these same people try to make threads to "nerf everything that kills me".

No, that is not the definition of balance. Maybe you should look it up before you throw around with random assumptions.
The argument why Cloak is unbalanced is clear and was already mentioned: 1. other escape abilities like streak and dodge roll get a fatigue penalty to prevent them from being spammed indefinitely, while Cloak is special snowflake and does not get the same treatment. 2. While in Cloak people can't target you, but you can be healed, which isn't balanced either.brandoncoffmannub18_ESO wrote: »Also if you don't play a playstyle then complain you don't have the perspective so your opinion is incredibly invalid and skewed to your own desires.
1. No, it's not. Fighting against a certain class/ playstyle, without playing it myself gives me as much of a reason to debate than anyone else.
2. I can throw your own comment back at you and tell you your opinion is false and invalid because you play that class/ playstyle and therefore you are biased to defend it by any means.

It's not about nerfing but about balancing. As mentioned before the same happened to streak and dodge roll. Despite dodge roll having many hard counters like any AoE ability. So, either streak and dodge roll get "unnerfed" or cloak needs to get the same treatment. Cloak also suppresses dots and makes the caster unaimable, while still allowing them to be healed. That is not balanced at all. And just for the records, I'm totally fine if they remove all the hard counters to cloak.Anyone who considers an ability which already has so many hard counters and the only ability that keeps NB even slightly relevant at the moment to be "broken" clearly never plays the nightblade class and should not be commenting trying to get peoples classes nerfed when they are simply not skilled enough or too lazy to use the many counters which are available against this ability.
I don't need to play a certain class or "playstyle" to realize that something is broken/ unbalanced, all I have to do is to compare all the available options with each other.Usually these same people try to make threads to "nerf everything that kills me".
You are more than welcome to check all of my threads, shouldn't be a lot of work, since I made a total of 6. Two of them being in German, which you can google translate. You will find that I don't do nerf threads. I don't make nerf comments either. I comment about unbalanced/ broken abilities like for example the old Dk wings (I still disagree with the new wings) and I always back up my suggestions and opinions with arguments. So, yeah. I don't do "nerf this, nerf that".

Everything you write on here is nothing but an opinion, just as everything I do is mine. You have as much of a proof, as I do.
