I only play battlegrounds and is really crazy how they can permanent cloack and fight.

Today I was in a bgs where there was 2 playing in coordination and I can only say it break the game. Impossible to Target, impossible to play the mechanic of the BG.

    Equip dw and ST and stay on top of them. Ignore the fact that NBs are tryna get every aoe nerfed and just use the counters that actually work before they get nerfed. If you get outplayed or both are of equal skill to you then just expect to die. Your other options include just killing their teammates who are down two players cause they are sitting in stealth, or just get better.

    - Detection Potion and Radiant Magelight hard counter Shadowy Disguise.
    - Any AoE soft counters it. The Nightblade can still re-cloak, but if they just spam cloak they die anyway.
    - If you really can't slot a single AoE ability, or even a set that procs AoE damage, you're going to have to learn to live with not being able to kill them.

    It's no different for a Magicka Nightblade trying to fight a Dragonknight. "Why should I have to slot a melee/beam ability just to fight Dragonknights?"

    This is just a L2P issue.

    Mhm... If it is impossible to target them and impossible to play the mechanics of the bg I wonder why there arent more mag Nbs playing. Maybe you discovered the new hidden op? I will definitely try this perma cloaking and gamebreaking mechanic with no counterplay. Thank you for your post really appreciate it!

    Dont listen to this joker. Aoe is the only effective counter. Magelight is expensive and only reveals. You should have detect pots but they have a cooldown and a mediocre uptime for the opportunity cost. Cloak doesn't have a cooldown and neither does your aoe.

    Cloak should be like streak but with a little less additional magicka cost

    As soon as cloak jumps me 10 meters in a direction of my choice, and stuns everyone in my immediate radius, I'd agree to this. The way cloak functions right now is extremely easy to counter.

    Radiant Magelight has a reduced cost, double radius, and prevents the revealed target from re-entering stealth for 6 seconds, which allows you to deal single target damage to them.

    Magelight/Inner Light aren't worth casting for the reveal however.
