1. Shame on you for using soul assault
2. you can cloak after 2 seconds just like the tooltip says.
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.

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.)

Soul assault is a 3+ second channel and only prevents cloak the first 2 seconds
nerf cloak now, make it health based and a kamikaze job!
Kill all NB!

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.

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).

Imo dots are what kills everything in duels. Especially for stam builds.
tooltip says"enemies affected by this ability," so technically there should be a running 2 sec reveal for the whole channel but wouldn't be the first time ZO$ created confusing ability lol

It suppresses DoTs because DoT ticks would pull your from stealth if not, that's the only reason I can see

This. This is why I said it would be stupid if it didn't suppress the dots

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.

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.
