According to the most recent patch notes:
Fixed an issue where casting certain self-targeted abilities, such as Spike Armor, Dark Exchange, or Imbue Weapon, would remove you from Sneak.
Volatile Armor morph when casted on self still removes you from Sneak in Cyrodiil (Sotha Sil EU)

Well that only makes sense, Spiked Armor is a self buff. Volatile is an AOE damage morph of Spiked Armor. So the base morph and I'm guessing Hardened Armor as well shouldn't remove you from stealth, but Volatile** Armor as an AOE absolutely should.
Also you could go with the fact that "Spike Armor" doesn't exist, only "Spiked Armor", so one could argue that fixing issues on imaginary skills does nothing anyways.Edited by Toc de Malsvi on August 13, 2018 8:32PMLegendary Archer of ValenwoodBosmer Dragon Knight Archer.

✭✭✭✭✭Volatile armor is an AOE damage attack and therefore removes players from stealth like all other AOE attacks.4 -
DTStormfox✭✭✭✭✭Okay, so it is just a matter of ZOS being not specific enough with their natch potes.
Because "certain self-targeted abilities", such as" is not vague at all0 -

✭✭✭✭I can't even buff up in sneak anymore. And I thought they were gonna fix this. I'm having sooo much fun knowing I'm not allowed to sneak. Thanks ZOS, so much for off-meta playstyles...Edited by Ragnarock41 on August 13, 2018 8:41PM0 -

Well kind of.
But the moment you choose volatile its becomes and aoe. A aoe thats centred on you sure but an aoe first and foremost.PS4 EU DC

✭✭✭ZOS just wanted to make sure that sneaking NBs still have the advantage of knowing that you're looking for them. They can locate you for a quick burst down before you can locate them.
It's just as great now that a big eye appears over your head if you're looking for stealthing opponents... that way, Elder Nightblades Online always has the advantage.

✭✭✭✭The reason is its initial damage application. Like you can't brawler in stealth either.
Yeah, cause we all know zenimax is very consistent.
Like how noxious breath is still dodgeable and fails to tag cloakers? Hell it can't even tag people when they stand right in your nose but thats one of 200 issues with the ability and this is about volatile armor so I'll pass.
I love how consistent Zenimax is. Like, they love to ''fix'' DKs, but they never actually fix DKs when something hurts the class. I love the bias, it's so obvious it hurts my eyes. Oh yeah zenimax , obviously we are not allowed to hide from stamblades cause they are super cool assassins or something. I forgot. My bad.
I'm sick of all these small changes about consistency and overall game improvement that are literally screaming at you like ''SCREW YOU DKS''.. like the wrath nerf, shuffle nerf, heroic nerf, reverb nerf,warmth nerf... On the plus side its indirect nerfs for a while instead of middle finger to the face like in morrowind.
How about they actually make hardened armor not a meme so Its an option you know? But no no no... too much work. Not to mention volatile is the only reliable cloak counter for stamDk.. But sure zenimax, nerf evil hunter instead.Edited by Ragnarock41 on August 18, 2018 2:36AM0 -

✭✭✭We have to keep buffing Nbs until everyone plays them while nerfing anyway to kill or find them with anything other then a nb.
