Stealthed damage bonus

If I use ambush from stealth and behind 180 I get the damage bonus. If I then cloak and move behind the mob while he's in the stun I should get the damage bonus again for surprise attack (stealthed and behind 180) but I seem to only get the 70% crit chance. Is this a bug or WAI?

    Pretty sure they consider the invis from the Cloak to NOT be the same as the invis from out-of-combat stealth....

    Yes they are two different factors

    As was said above, Invisibility and Stealth are 2 different mechanics.

    Previously, I was able to use Shadow Cloak to navigate an 'unsafe zone' during stealth, to a proper 180 degree position and gain full dmg / Veiled Strike bonus

    Haven't tried in a while, it's never on my bar anymore.... perhaps you need to wait for it to end.

    directly behind = full bonus damage

    Anywhere between there and beside = partial. Which may be in the neighborhood of a regular crit. Anything else is +0%
