Cloak is not being broken by force pulse it's being broken by lag. The players in question casts and landed those skills before you ever cloaked (on their screen) because you was behind the action

Your PR was 140, anything above 120 and you can forget about what's happening on your screen being up to date.

simply put, lag is what broke your Cloak. There are many other skills that get broke with lag too sadly

Cloak is just as broken as it's ever been. On PTS it was working quite well, but there is virtually no lag on PTS. Being pulled out by random blades of grass and a swift wind in the wrong direction.

At least it used to purge some DoTs, now it's mostly just a magicka dump with no utility value.

While your assumption to blame lag as the reason why i was brought out of stealth is warranted and holds some ground I still feel like you're missing the point. The point is -- at least from what ive experience -- that cloak used to work under the same circumstances if not worse before they broke it (i.e HIGH PING). Ive been playing nb a long time you see; since CP came out if im not mistaken and back in the day something like a forcepulse at 140 pr would not have brought me out like it does today.

I used to be able to use cloak as a form of mitigation like dks use permablock, like sorcs use shields, and like templars use burst heals. Cloak is nb's best form of mitigation. While it seems a bit op that you can just invis and not take damage (it is honestly) there are some really big downsides. Namely, the counter play completely breaks the mit. If some one breaks that stealth you just used 3.5-4k mag and got nowhere. People used to have to use specific skills to get nbs out of cloak the same way if you wanted to get through dks mitigation youd slot a specific skill or templar youd use some form of defile. The point is nb's as a class has lost their best form of mitigation that make the class unique.

In the thoughtful words of the President of the United States: SAD.

Cloak is fine

Someone could also have detection pot up, but yea, cloak isnt fixed by a long shot this patch, happens to me all the time in 80-90 ping too.

Ironically detection pots don´t do jack *** against cloak.

The skill still misses (if it´s a ranged projectile) and the nb does not get put out of cloak - even though you theoretically see them with your detect pot active.

Im not sure why people think there was a detect pot. He would have hit me @ 13 seconds in the video if there was a detect pot. Use your *** heads

And judging from the way that two hander stam player is still in execute animation and able to cast it again, that tells me it was lag; you were seeing attacks with late registration.

Cloak uses to work on my 300 ping before cleanse was removed. It's been broke ever since.

It's been reliable enough for me to put it back on my bar and drop annulment. But it's nothing compared to when the purge was there. It should've never been removed. Magblade mobility had been hurting ever since
