I just want to point out that no one uses detect pots against good nightblade, it’s only the rats and the low to medium skill nightblade that require their use since they use their cloak 10x more often than higher skill nightblades who only use it to reset combat tempo or positioning.

I can’t simply say “skill issue” because that just gets me banned so here my advice,

If your ganking, run stage 4 vamp and use invis pots to maintain your stealth, you really only need the nightblade cloak for the garenteed crit on your ultimate.

If your brawling or 1vxing than you should only use your cloak to A) get a free heal off reset tempo and positioning or C) medium weave off balance stun / ultimate setup combos. Roll away, break melee distance, cloak and decide if you want to rengage heal or run.

A lot of players rely too heavily on their stealth and are completely helpless when you reveal them so learn to use yours more tactically and then even if they spam the reveal it’s not much of an issue.

I still personally think cloak should get the streak treatment and cost more each cast, that way people will be forced to learn how it works and how to actually play with it

Don’t worry; I’ll do the honors of pointing out the elephant in the room.

All a detect pot does is pull people out of stealth. It doesn’t fight them, it doesn’t do damage, and it won’t kill them. All it does is present them with a level playing field.

At that point, it’s on the stealth player to survive using speed, dodging, line of sight, and positioning, until the potion runs out or they can find an advantageous spot. Yes, a detect potion is a direct counter to a particular playstyle…meaning you need to fall back on being defensive or throwing hands, which is the foundation of PvP. If you can’t do that, and all you’ve got is a sneak attack from invisibility intended to one-shot your target, well…

Skill issue.
