Is it intended that you can cloak meteors?

You can cloak away most if not all projectiles except dark flare.

Who needs to cloak away from something that takes so long to hit you can do two dodge rolls while it's in the air? And all those with one piece of medium armor and shuffle slotted on their bar don't need to even dodge roll away from any projectile because major evasion is so broke you miss 100% (instead of the supposed 20%) of ranged attacks against someone using it. Of all the things being exploited in game right now this is at the top of the list; I can't count the number of times in the last few days I've missed four or five ranged attacks in a row on someone.

Even more of a reason to dislike the Nightblade class, and groan whenever hearing about them in general. So let's see here:
- Soul Tether spam bs.
- Sap essence spam bs.
- Lotus Fan spam bs.
- Proximity detonation bs with cloak.
- All the above but combined with the Vicious Death set.
- Dodges your Meteor(s) with cloak bs.

Yep. I definitely am not setting foot in this game for a while. Especially not Cyrodiil. Bad as it is, people are making Nightblades just to use FOTM builds in PVP with and talk about how cool they are for ganking. No thanks. There's better games out there, with better class balance for PVP.

-Yea Tether is pretty good but besides the stun it's Bats so stun the drop bats same thing. PS how do you spam a 150 cost Ultimate???
-Sap Essence a Healing Attack so glad no other class but Templars, Dragon Knights and Sorcerers can do that.
-A snare with a DoT? That's not OP or strong it's weaker then Ambush cause who can't eat that DoT.
-So glad again that no class can cast it behind a tree, rock or corner then gap close that would be unfair.
-After seeing the ring on the ground block pop a stamina potion and move out of the AoE.

Besides your nonexistent point you make a good point.

Hey zip up, your bias is showing. Seriously, you're going to compare Sap essence with other healing attacks? Puncturing sweeps is like god mode in PvE but in PvP there are very few situations where the heals does anything for you and since it's a melee attack split into four hits it usually winds up doing less single target damage per cast than the ranged, unreflectable, Sap Essence.

NB's arguments are of those of the flat Earthers.

In this patch, ZOS you made meteor unreflectable, purifyable and purgable
however, you can still cloak the meteor by hitting the cloak button right before it lands.
Is this intended or is it a broken mechanic?

I would like an official response please?

I don't think they know how to fix this without breaking cloak or nerfing meteor. If they try to make cloak not work with one ability that registers as a dot, they will inevitably break cloak. On the flip side, if meteor is changed to not register as a dot, then it would have to be instant and the damage nerfed.

Although I see why people may have an issue with this, it's not like it is any harder to hit a nb then another player. Let's be real for a second. Everyone knows that for meteor to be effecrive, you have to cc the target before it hits. If you dont, it is easy to avoid the damage. So cc a nb just like you would any other player and your good. If the player had time to cloak, then they had time to block or stack shields.

Therefore, wings should still reflect the meteor. If you did not cc the dk before casting it well you would get it reflected. Thats the same reasoning behind keeping reflect on meteor.

I disagree with that. A cc on a player has to be timed properly given the length of time it takes meteor to hit. Cc too early and they can break free and block. Cc to late and we'll they blocked it. With wings, if you wait until the appropriate time to cc them, it is already too late because their wings are up whether you cc them or not. If you do it too early they have plenty of time to break free and reflwct. Basically, an ult is rendered useless against a whole class for the most part.

Same stuff, different attack >_>

Might as well yell at NB for cloaking every attack
