Returning player..stealth nerf?

I’m sorry if this subject was beaten to death but i just got on ESO again after a year or so..and on my main NB.

I thought at first it was a mistake but i realized “Hey, doesn’t cloak hide you to get away from attacks in those 4 seconds?” Turns out NOPE, it’s now 1 second. I was legitimately angry as this ability was EXACTLY why i picked NB. I couldn’t escape anything or even use the attack from stealth abilities properly. I also used the old cloak to skate by the countless mobs that were annoying to fight. (Looking at you, mansion in that marsh area with an expansive dungeon)

I mean come on, it’s the only ability as far as i know that stealths you and the main attraction of the NB. I didn’t want this to be a steal health class, which is it’s only use now, if i wanted health then i’d make a healer! What was the reason for this? Is there something in these new updates that replace it? I bought max upgrades for my horse which was around $40 worth and now i’m never gonna play this class again.

Honestly i’m mainly upset because of the money i’ve wasted on that one character.

Guess i’ll go make a templar now..or are they gonna remove that too? “Heals are too OP even though that’s why the class exists, let’s make them heal 1/25 of the health bar”

    What level are you? You gain more seconds when you levels up the skill line, it's a passive called dark veil.

    It gets back to higher than the original duration once you put skill points in Dark Veil.

    There's also a morph that doesn't hide you but heals you (Dark Cloak), so if you have that you won't be hidden at all.
    But yeah, as susmitds says if you max out Dark Veil then it actually lasts slightly longer (3 sec now vs 2.7 sec before).

    You can grab a coffee or something during that extra .3 seconds, I guess.
    Taking stealth away from the Bosmer is like taking magic away from the Altmer, making Nords allergic to mead, or making Orcs pretty.

    Thank goodness, i just invited my 810 nightblade friend and he explained this as well. I guess i’ll keep playing but i mean i won’t even be able to do actual sneaking until level 39 skills at least 😛
