How Can NB Cloak While Being Soul Assaulted?

So I’ve seen this happening a few times in recent weeks. A handful of times when I was using Soul Assualt and again today when a fellow team member was using it. The NB is actively being soul assaulted and they cloak out of it. Soul assualt is suppose to prevent cloak? Now I understand you can purge some effect of SA, but does this work while you’re being soul assaulted? Anytime I’ve tried to cloak while being soul assaulted it straight up doesn’t work. So I’m asking from both sides of the fence, to learn to use and deal with it more effectively.

    Yeah thanks mate, but you didn't understand/answer my question. The NB cloaked during soul assault, not after. I have no shame for using soul assault lol, although Ive since switched to ice comet. Was just crutching on it while learning magtemp or backbar it for those pesky unkillable tanks.

    Soul assault is a 3+ second channel and only prevents cloak the first 2 seconds

    @Vapirko , @BohnT is correct

    Re-read the tolltip.

    Soul Assault is 3.5 seconds, you can't cloak for 2, so part way thru you can.

    It doesn't say for 2 seconds AFTER soul assault ENDS as you are assuming

    Shame on you for wanting it all and upset about a weak counter lol.

    Yes you can cloak it.

    Hold block, hit vigor, spam cloak, drink a tri pot. . That is the prescription.

    You can avoid a good part of soulassaults dmg that way aswell - it has a short windup animation and 3.4s channeltime.
    The windup animation is considered part fo soulassaulting aswell which means it´s part of the 2s cloak prevention making cloak the best counter to it in the game as you can cancel it at about 40% of total dmg done.

    More importantly. Why does it suppress on target dots? If you can heal in it, you should take on target dot damage in it. (Without being revealed.)

    Maybe cloak does suppress dots because nightlbades need a way to counter dot/bleed builds?

    Okayyy got it, I assumed it was as additional 2 seconds but then I guess it would say that. I guess since its a dot and dots continue in cloak it seemed odd and kind of counterintuitive since cloack is not a purge or maybe they count it as a los break? Additionally I always felt that trying to cloak during SA I was immediately pulled out again but I guess my timing was off.

    Healing? Dots are the least scary thing in PvP due to purges and low dmg. Sorcs, DKs or wardens can't reliably keep them off either. Its unnecessary with what it provides.

    ???

    No. It wouldn't. Invisibility, becoming untargetable, and stopping direct+channeled damage. Whilst being able to cast inside it. Also protection or guaranteed critical. Far from useless.

    This isn't a nerf NB comment either. They are by far the best balanced class. I'd even make cloak a little more flexible. (Have it take 2 stationary GBAoEs like caltrops etc to break) It just doesn't make sense completely ignoring them whilst in it.

    Does it pause the DoT timer so it has to tick unless purged. Cause if not that is even more unfair.

    When do you hear: "Oh no darn that viper dot really got me." "Oh no. I got dotted to death." "Not the stamNB dot ganker noooo." That stamwardens dot combo just wiped the whole group.

    Sure the niche stamsorc build is cute. But if you are 1vXing, and/or there is a templar. Say bye to dots. Also earthgore. Or cloak. The dots which you spent time applying go byebye.

    Not saying DoT's are OP or anything.

    But the answer to your question is; Because people are clueless and think that you can use the original "Deathrecap" to determine what ACTUALLY caused you to die.

    No one is saying "Oh no darn that viper dot really got me.", because they do not FEEL that it killed them. It is the same with all DoT's in the game, and the way they work on your mind. Try go fight a Magicka DK. His largest damage output is Burning Embers. No Discussion. But stil, no one will ever say "oh no, that Embers DoT got me". But in fact that Embers Burn DID get you. Because that DoT, along with one or two others maybe, was the only reason that you were at 40% health, when you got Fossilized and dual-whipped for the rest of your health. But in this case, people will blaim Fossilize and Whip. Because those were the things that, to the receivers eyes and feelings, were the skills that killed him. But in fact, he got killed by the DoTs.

    DoTs (and other undodgeable dmg) are what kills medium armor builds. There is only so much Vigor can outheal (and it isn't much, especially on stam NB with zero +healing modifiers).

    Well, you can atleast hope to survive against them with dmg shields or heavy armor mitigation (bleeds being an exception tho) - on medium it's just a ticking clock though even with insane amounts of weapon dmg (for big vigor ticks) & 7 impen.


    But I won't bother complaining much about them as long as I can instagib people with a cloak combo on my stamblade, I'll just refrain from dueling S&B magicka DKs.

    Yeah. But i think (idk, it seemed to me a few times) that an invis pot will break LOS just enough to break soul assault even if marked. Not positive on that

    I said it shouldn't reveal you though. It should be that hard to change. Sort of like how oblivion gets through shields without breaking them. But then again, its cloak we are talking about. Which is buggy even to this day.

    Duels are a little different. Duels you have one focus, and one incomming damage. You can keep dots up without much threat of them being purged by a healer. (Unless you are dueling templar then gg.)

    I main mdk, and have played against many. The dots themselves don't really hurt especially if you are playing meta v meta in heavy. DOTs tick for like 2/300 each. The reason they are used more is for skoria, healing or a passive buff. The only class that can really get me with their dots are stamsorcs.

    Which brings me to my second part. They aren't awful for pressure in 1v1s but unsustainable in higher fights due to everyone and their mother purging/suppressing. Which is why I say they shouldn't be suppressed.

Try go fight a Magicka DK. His largest damage output is Burning Embers. No Discussion. But stil, no one will ever say "oh no, that Embers DoT got me". But in fact that Embers Burn DID get you. Because that DoT, along with one or two others maybe, was the only reason that you were at 40% health, when you got Fossilized and dual-whipped for the rest of your health. But in this case, people will blaim Fossilize and Whip. Because those were the things that, to the receivers eyes and feelings, were the skills that killed him. But in fact, he got killed by the DoTs.

    Duels are a little different. Duels you have one focus, and one incomming damage. You can keep dots up without much threat of them being purged by a healer. (Unless you are dueling templar then gg.)

    I main mdk, and have played against many. The dots themselves don't really hurt especially if you are playing meta v meta in heavy. DOTs tick for like 2/300 each. The reason they are used more is for skoria, healing or a passive buff. The only class that can really get me with their dots are stamsorcs.

    Which brings me to my second part. They aren't awful for pressure in 1v1s but unsustainable in higher fights due to everyone and their mother purging/suppressing. Which is why I say they shouldn't be suppressed.

    So you basically want templars and nightblades get trashed in duels because you are unable to break cloak (with a mag dk lol...)?
    Every post I see from you is like nerf sorcs, nerf nightblades or buff magdk, it's getting boring because you downplay the strength of magdks in such a ridiculous way that it's not even funny anymore (for example rating shields stronger than block + healing synergie with sword an board or rating mag dk sustain as the worst sustain in the game).

    Edit: Would have never thought that I would defend cloak mechanic one day >.<

    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.
