Concealed Weapon - No longer a crit strike while stealthed?

So I've been running around doing a bit of farming and I noticed that concealed weapon no longer benefits from a crit strike from stealth bonus. it just does regular damage.

What gives?

    Yep, I've had that too; Surprise Attack still works but it's now Stamina based (I went back to Concealed Weapon as it's still Magica based).

    Far as my examinations of it went, it seems that it *does* get an auto-crit, but no longer receives the 2.5x damage multiplier.
    Teleport Strike as well; not sure if Ambush as a Stamina morph does though or if it was just a nerf directed at Magickablades specifically.

    Magicka spells don't benefit from stealth bonus multipliers. The only reason concealed weapon did be for was because it scaled with weapon crit, it now scales with spell crit, which means no sneak attack multiplier.

    They should add sneakmultipliers to everything imo. Kinda makes more sense that you get hurt more when a crystalshard hits you on the back of your head u know :/
    Also not fair for other classes, if you want to be a stealthy character wihtout being a nightblade you're bottlenecked into twohander...

    Has anyone tested this skill to see if you get a dps increase weaving this with light attacks instead of funnel health? Seems like that might be the only point to this skill now.
