For the love of god, please fix volatile armor.

Koensol · August 2017

There is a bug in the game that keeps breaking nightblade cloak. Who would have thought, huh?

The bug occurs when you are using the sheer venom set and cast poison injection on a DK with volatile armor. Somehow the damage is returned to you, which causes it to break cloak and make it a nightmare for me to fight DK's. So, what I think is wrong is that the poison dot from sheer venom is being registered by volatile armor as melee damage. This should not happen.

I have heard the same thing happened with the dot from the vicecannon set. Remember I am not talking about crouching, but about the fact that volatile armors damage return is breaking cloak when it clearly shouldn't.

Can we please fix this bug? I'm tired of getting exposed by DK's.

I have always used volatile armor to take nb out of cloak. Three years and running.

He's not talking about activating the move and the dot pulling them out of stealth.

The "reflect" melee damage component on it is pulling him out every time his dot from sheer venom ticks.

Thank you for clarifying. The sheer venom dot is neither melee damage nor magic damage, so it shouldn't break cloak.

F that.. keep Volatile Armor as it. I hate getting hit by poison by you NBs in cloak. You *** with your Reaper's Mark breaking down resistance and hitting with poison injection from cloak, and whatever other stam reducing trickery up your sleeves. Go DK!

Ok, empathy.. yeah, I have a StamBlade too and feels good striking poison from a distance. Although, I really don't use cloak; that's just a wussy way of fighting! I'll go head to head on a DK with my StamBlade and took a many out when PvPed. Well, I got my arse handed to me as well. Life of PvPing! However, yeah, getting hit with your own poison is messed up. I only know that Reflexive Scale can do that and not really Volatile Armor.

LOL I got triggered instantly by your 1st two sentences! Then I noticed the undeniable sarcasm. Nice one

But please @ZOS_GinaBruno pass this one on to the dev team

Working as intended, fight like a real man not like some hidey-hole scrub

Koensol · August 2017

Bump. I'd like to once again bring this to your attention ZOS.

Koensol · October 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert Any chance this issue will be fixed anytime in the near future? Us nightblades are sick of being revealed by DK's. Getting defeated by an opponent you know wouldn't beat you had cloak been working as intended, is a really bad experience.

Either the sheer venom dot legitimately counts as a melee attack, or volatile armor is bugged and registers sheer venom as a melee attack.

Thank you for taking the time to record this video and post it in this thread! Let's hope we can soon finally see a fix to this bug which has existed for eternity. I know they can fix bugs quickly, as we have seen many times before. I don't know why this keeps getting ignored when it is effectively ruining a lot of builds in pvp.... @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_RichLambert

Thunderknuckles · February 2018

Well, this was roughly 2 months ago and it's still bugged, apparently. Eited to ask @ZOS_GinaBruno if there's been any talk on an ETA for a fix on this? Pertty please?

I agree. I use sheer venom all the time and so annoyed by this.... Also.. I wonder if the game in general is registering sheer venom as melee damage.... I need to throw viper on and test something... Lol
