Any damage tick of a DoT applied by a NB is bringing them out of Cloak/Shadowy Disguise in PTS. Also same thing is happening with Ballista.

Tested skills -

Poison Injection
Carve
Rending Slashes

    Working as intended. This escape mechanic is way to strong. You're about to die in a 1v1, cloak. You need resources, cloak. The skill should be that all DOTs drop off from the opponent when a NB goes into cloak...

    Lol, leave as is. Stop hiding in the shadows and expecting to still be doing damage. Good ninja nerf by Zos.

    Let’s make cloak a mini game. You use the skill 3 times in a row within 6 seconds then it actually cloaks you while gaining the additional functionality of suppressing DoTs. Counterplay

    I hope it's an official change.

    Okay, not really. But I do hope there is a change where damage will continue to apply while you are cloaked.

    That includes both DoTs and attacks that were fired before Cloak activated.

    I don't think the damage should pull you out of Cloak, but having everything miss is too powerful. It should be invisibility, not invulnerability.

    Yes, lets nerf Cloak while ignoring that most Nb builds don't reach the break points for defense which are needed to survive without it. I have some more nerf ideas: Remove block healing, nerf Mending, Vitality and Protection, give shields and burst heals a stacking cost, nerf Purge and introduce diminshing returns on armor stacking. Because you know, lets nerf everything which I am not using : )
    I used to think that PvP was a tragedy, but now I realize, it's a comedy.

    We also need a potion that prevents shielding of any kind for 15 seconds in the vicinity.

    What is this "PTS report thingy" you are referring to? I've found that cloak on the PTS now no longer guarantees crit, which I find equally troublesome. I'd like to make sure I go through the right channels.

    Oh Look, another patch where cloak is broken by something unintended. Another gamebreaking bug with NB skill that probably won't be fixed for another year. Awesome, can we just delete NB class?

    Then these magsorcs will know how WE feel with detect pots

    Soo for some of the zerglings in this thread who want cloak nerfed here are some counters:

    Any aoe. Everyone has access to.
    Detect skills. Everyone has access to.
    Detect pots. Everyone has access to.

    Cloak to a NB is what purge is to a templar. Imagine if all you zergplars lost purge. You would be crying on the forums about class identity loss...

    Ironic.

    Garret is the one who said in an interview with Turelus:

    Slowing Down Content Releases and the Great Fix Patch:
    "I spoke with Rob about the fast release of updates and if ZOS had considered doing a “Great Fix Patch” for one of their updates. He said it’s a question they get a lot and whilst it’s not off the table they as a company do need to produce for everyone and a majority of the bugs and issues faced are not ones everyone encounters or are drastically halting gameplay, as such they need to continue creating content for people who want new content to play and and don’t play at the higher level to notice if a skill or mechanic works a little wonky."

    Fixed an issue where dealing Physical, Poison, or Disease-based Damage over Time would break stealth.

    So, not only did they not fix it, they actually made it worse by removing the 100% chance to crit. Nice.

    What a garbage class.

    Shade works again since almost a year, they try to nerf it because of tooltip. Now cloak is being broken by your own dots and crit attack bonus doesn't work... Ok... I'm starting to worry it will take as much time as fixing shade. I thought this patch will be pretty good, ZOS finally listens to people, they make some good changes and now this. Always, there need to be always some gamebreaking poo they introduce in the end of PTS which goes to live and doesn't get fixed till next patch. This bug will kill NBs if won't get fixed fast.

    I can't believe that there are players hoping that this is actually intended. I mean, what other aspects of cloaking is driving the player crazy besides "I can't catch you! Please stop cloaking so damn much! So stupid!"; that it is such a nuisance to deal with. Are you getting OBLITERATED instantly every time the nb cloaks and goes for the counter-attack? Those who appear to be cloaking a lot knows that the fight isn't in their favor and/or are way too squishy to deal with some players head on.

    This is definitely a "l2p" issue. I have fought a lot of great players who know how to deal my cloak with much ease. There are an assortment of ways to deal with troublesome nbs using detect pots, AoEs skills, Piercing mark, revealing flares, expert hunter, magelight, streak, and sets that increase detection radius. Learn to use them!
