cloaking while being attacked

I know you all will have a go at me but i think cloaking or going invisble while being attacked should be stopped, it makes no sense they go cloaked while you are attacking them and you can no longer attack them, in what world is this possible it makes no sense

Nirn.

However most MMO worlds have a class with a similar function.

Have no fear, Cloak is still not working as advertised and you can still hit them.

I have a question though. Why should it be changed, with the current amount of counters available to players?

And I'm going to counter with-

Healers should only to be able to heal others and not themselves. Or, why can classes with damage shields recast them in combat?

It's just the way the game is. And the way stealth has been played for decades in the genre. I for one love stealth gameplay and have for nearly 20 years worth of mmo's.

Lol cloaking Nightblades are so easy to kill. I personally just use piercing mark on them. For non-Nightblades use AoEs, mage light or revealing flare. Problem solved.

I think you needd to play another class at some point...

On topic: Isn't that pretty much the whole point of Cloak?

I use talons and burning embers against cloaking NBs. Biggest issue I had with NBs was chasing one around the map then having all the adds after me when he cloaked and another that was very hard to kill using healing ward. Pretty sure healing ward is bugged though.

It does suck when one cloaks away from my meteor, but I don't think its broken. NBs should be able to cloak to avoid delayed attacks.

I have 8 characters that comprise of all four classes, one werewolf and one vampire. I Just prefer the 2H stamina Nightblade; it suits my aggressive in your face play style the most.

I agree, cloaking while under assault should stop already and cloak makes you immune to single target attack, even when you are detected and your opponent can see you.

Nerf fear, nerf dodgeroll, nerf cloak. You want NB's to be useless, free AP don't you?

It's so easy to counter its stupid, SPECIALLY for a damn sorc which I've been playing these last few days.

With detectpots, magelight, streak and curse it's nearly impossible for any Nightblade to hide from me. Even magicka ones.

Stop crying please and learn to play your class.

Edit: I truly don't understand how you can have problems with nightblades. Stam NB's are the ones dying faster than any other class when I'm on my sorc. The real problem seem to be nirnstacking, permablocking DKs who are very hard to CC. I wonder wtf you do when you face them since you whine so much about nb's. Probably spam some shields and bolt away, then get killed by a NB and come to the forums to cry nerf.

Good NBs are very hard to kill for me, there are just many bad ones.
A bad sorc is just as much free AP as if he played a NB instead.

The point i was making was not nerfing it but rather if you are being hit with an attack it makes no sense that u can basicly hide, you can't re-crouch when being hit so why can you re-cloak when being hit, i have even put flare on them and they still they can cloak that is ment to stop them cloaking but it does not, like i said i dont want nerfing rather it makes no sense
