If you need a Detection Pot to beat a NB then its clearly a L2P issue
So a NB can chain Cloak now, just the same as a DK can Flap, and a Sorc can Bolt.......Just L2p people please!

wait till 1.7 when you can´t streak after them bc of the permanently increasinc costs. you have to keep that in mind too...
I´m not too worried about the current situation but once streak is on a defacto CD for 4 seconds it´s going to be a pain chasing down a good nb as a sorc.

Player habits like that are not very smart. Why would you chase someone that has a strong def and survival?
The whole discussion is a L2P issue because narrow minded DPS clones always disregard their own def and assume they must kill everything right away. It's not all about dps and you cannot beat every build or skilled player, no matter how long a loser is whining.
Cyrodiil is not a Arena, so don't expect 1 vs. 1 instanced rule sets and enjoy your freedom to adapt play styles and different skill sets for several situations. If you are not flexible or don't like class diversity its your own fault.
Its a players choice to play smart or stupid, always.

Because with a mechanic like cloak (if it really works reliably with 1.7) you have to chase players.
If you can go invisible at will the class is never going to die again unless there are means to keep them in combat (thus the term chasing bc they want to withdraw from the fight).
Also you don´t need a strong def and survivability when you´re invisible - you cant be attacked.
I main a sorc. I have two NBs. Believe me when i say it´s not good for the game when players can disengage at will without a segnificant cost associated with that feat.
A reliable cloak will do so much more than bolt escape (which is easily countered by speed and gap closers by smart players - yet still is getting nerfed). Against a cloaking enemy you have about 1s to get them out of stealth or they are gone - atleast thats the case when i´m on my NBs. If the enemy does not use detect potions they can´t catch me ever.

No you don't, its your choice!If you can go invisible at will the class is never going to die again unless there are means to keep them in combat (thus the term chasing bc they want to withdraw from the fight).
So what, it doesn't mean you gonna die.
Use CC , aoe etc. and if they run away, let em go. So whats your problem, that you cannot kill a target that made a choice to get out of trouble?
Again, its not all about killing just because you prefer killing only!Also you don´t need a strong def and survivability when you´re invisible - you cant be attacked.
Turning unvisible is survival!I main a sorc. I have two NBs. Believe me when i say it´s not good for the game when players can disengage at will without a segnificant cost associated with that feat.
Disengage = survival. Again, whats the problem?A reliable cloak will do so much more than bolt escape (which is easily countered by speed and gap closers by smart players - yet still is getting nerfed).

Nope, with Bolt Escape you are still a shielded active canon, with cloak you are turning passive to bring you out of trouble.

How exactly will anyone kill a Nightblade with these changes??
With Radiant Magelight you literally have to be standing right on top of the Nightblade in order to be able to see him. Detect Pots are the only thing that enables someone to even stand a chance against a good Nightblade. And your going to make Detect Pots useless against Cloak?

And this is wrong in so many ways of thinking that it´s rather futile to reply at all.
If you can disengage at will and engage at will this gives you the initiative forcing your opponent to play defensive the whole time. This is not the case with bolt escape. You can still hit a bolting sorc - you can´t with a cloaked NB - the choice is entirely theirs.
Ofc you don´t have to chase players. But if a class can reliably control the engagement and can end it at will on their terms you´re not going to see anything but that class on a high level of play. This is currently the case with NBs and sorcs while the former have greater killing power with the latter having greater survivability but are predictable in terms of dmg.
A reliable cloak will combine the NBs burst with the sorcerers survivability and ability to direct the fight.
With bolt escape you´re a shielded cannon that can be hit. With cloak you´re a hidden cannon that can fire any time they please without the enemy having any chance to predict your move or attack you on their terms.
You´re arguing from a point where NB is becoming the only vaible soloing class because they can engage and disengage at will (the only hardcounter to cloak is mark which is a NB skill also - whoops). Cloak is not only a powerful defensive ability but also THE MOST POWERFUL OFFENSIVE ABILITY if it were to work 100% reliable. This is what you seem to fail to take into account.
But meh. I´ve got a stam and magica NB rdy. Should it really be eldercloaks online for a patch cycle or two thats what i will do .

Though if you hit them with an ability, they'll be able to cloak right away and your back to square one.

So this is about fixing cloak.... not nerfing detect pots.
Yeah and? My NB alt can cloak 28 times in a row, and im sure people can do even more. That's like 81 seconds I think...
If this is for real this is just another unbalanced mechanic with no thought or anything into this from Zos... once again they clearly DO NOT pvp at all, way to go...

False.
Even against a Bosmer/Khajit with 7/7 Medium and all the passives, you can still see them 10m away. This includes Cloak.
A non Bosmer/Khajit not in MA will be seen even further away.
10m is still a good distance and the majority will likely be non bosmer/khajit 7/7 medium combo.
RML is fine.

I can cloak and tea bag and you would never even noticed. 10 meters..lol.. this thread is full of OP NB lieing to keep on top of the food chain.

http://elderscrollsonline.wiki.fextralife.com/Revealing+FlareIt would be nice if the support or assault tree had a mark target type of ability. it's odd the only class that can go invisible is the only class that can mark them.
Really? Really? Where were you and your balance when it turned out that wings and bolt escape can't be countered by potions? I don't remember you asking to make potions that won't let other classes do their thing.
It boggles my mind that people are defending Cloak here.

I have a feeling it's going to get the same treatment as bolt escape in the end. If you recast within 4 seconds, 50% cost increase. If you do it again, 100%. 150% and so on.
