This is a bug report board, as far as I know this is a bug.

The patch notes said
"Elemental Susceptibility: Fixed an issue where this ability would break stealth and invisibility each tick."

Did this mean only if it is applied to you?

I know lots of people fear NB, they hate stealth, they are upset about NB cloaking away from a battle....
but none of this is relevant if this is indeed an unintended bug.

applying dots has always done this to stealth I apologize and will adjust my approach like I've done 100 times before on NB

Yes it meant when it's applied to You.

Initial dmg procs of status effects are considered as direct dmg not as a DoT. Fact that You apply status efefcts every 7,5sec doesn't change a fact that the dmg You apply is a direct dmg thus by design should kick You out of cloak. Even being kicked out of cloak when someone applied ele sus on You was working as intended but ZoS simply felt bad for all nightblades who can't survive 2 seconds without cloak spam. It's no different than taking dmg from sorc's curse after 3, 6 or 8 sec. That ability explosion will also break cloak because it's a direct dmg despite it being on a time intervals. When ZoS uses phrase "fixed an issue" in patch notes it doesn't instantly mean the issue was a bug.

Oh yeah lets put dots on everyone and then go stealth, that makes much more sense.

You really think dots going off on another player should pull you out of stealth?? As far as I know the game never did that before.
Dots don't harm players, the only point of elemental sus is to apply major breech. The goal is not to apply dots and wait until they kill the player, that is never going to happen.

NB use stealth to prepare their burst, in case you have never played a NB.

If you just don't like NB, that's fine. But, I play all classes in PvP and I still don't think a NB putting ele susc on my DK should pull that player out of stealth.

I think many people thinks that. With the strenght of DoT combinations that can be applied to someone fact that it can be done safely from range and stealth is just becoming more and more questionable. Fact that game never did something like that before doesn't mean it couldn't or shouldn't happen. We can say "game never did that before" about literally every new feature.

You want to tell me that when someone wearing way of fire+sheer venom applies poison injection + optionally ele sus on someone it doesn't harm the afflited player? Interresting approach. I think You underestimate how strong ele sus is offensively. For majority of setups adding up burning, chilled and concussed dmg that were applied from ele sus, would put this ability on number 1 spot dmg wise, quite often burning status from ele sus alone is taking number 1 spot. Burnbing from ele sus is the most reliable DoT in the game at the moment. These 3 status effects ticks combined hit for a half of the value of spammable ability.

Nightblade uses stealth for way more than just to prepare burst. Sitting in stealth while Your DoTs are eating enemy's HP is one of the posibilities.

More often than not it have nothing to do with hate towards nightblades but rather the fact stealth playstyle design in ESO is dramatically flawed which is always reflected in a state of PvP.
