as far as im aware haunting curse has always worked like that, the 2nd explosion could still happen even if the target was killed, it does the same in pve and pvp

if you die before the first curse explodes then you wont get the 2nd explosion

Entropy is a mages guild skill, not a sorc skill. It also causes you to be dismounted after a few ticks, which is not good game design in my opinion. But listening to NB's complain about skills that pull them out of cloak is like listening to someone complain that their easy mode spam skill has counter skills.

Death absolutely should end the effect of the skill however. Having the effect persistent after death causes stuck in combat bug and other issues and makes no sense. Death should erase any and all dots and negative effects on the player.

But OP is actually right. Mechanical wise, invisibility can only be interupted by direct damage or dedicated skills / potions.

Entropy is not Direct Damage, but Damage over Time (DoT). If it is behaving differently than every other DoT skill, then it is bugged.

I am not judging whenever interrupting cloak is good or not. I am rather judging that the skill does something that it should not do. It is equivalent to lets say some single target skill being undodgeable without tooltip saying so. It is just abnormal behavior, so I do believe it is a bug.

Entropy does damage when it ticks. DoT = Damage over Time

NB's just get too dependent on cloak and complain about anything that pulls them out of cloak. In reality, cloak should be WAY less dependable than it already is. The duration should be shorter. The cost should be higher. And it should be easier to pull NB's out of cloak, especially if the NB initiated the combat.

Sure, we can play game.

Sorcs are too dependent on shields. Since you can't crit shields, can't crit damage shield, why should you be able to docrit damage or crit heal while a shield has been applied?

Templars are too dependent on block casting, the damage reduction for the cost penalty is too high. The damage delt should affect how much each block costs. Also your damage and healing output should reduced the same as the block damage reduction.

?? 2020 called - it wants it's uncrittable shields back.

No really, are you even up to date?

I see after googling. Why do I do less damage to shields? If I drop someone's shields they drop like a rock

Its not just Entropy, but any dot. Elemental Susceptibility being another big culprit of cloak-breaking every second. And not just cloak either, but any invisibility like vamp sprint.

EDIT: Also pulls you out of sneak too.

Well no, it isn't "any DoT".

Entropy is the only DoT pulling NBs out of stealth. It's likely doing this because it seems to be counting the heal that Entropy is doing as coming from the Nightblade. Nightblade "heals" the Entropy user, and therefore gets pulled out of Stealth.

Ele Sus is NOT a DoT. It is a Debuff that applies 2 ticks of DIRECT damage, and 1 DoT. The direct damage portion of Ele Sus (i.e., the concussed and chilled) is pulling Nightblades out of stealth. This is INTENDED, as Direct Damage should always pull Nightblades out of stealth.

I can't find anywhere that says status effects are direct damage. Only that they do single tic of damage.

But entropy is not the only dot that pulls you out
