Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Hello, I'm currently playing as deadeye double dagger thief. I noticed something a little bit strange today. When I use shadow flare on mobs, i'm unable to stealth using cloak and dagger; making malicious backstabs impossible in that situation. I believe it may be due to the damage pulse... I'm uncertain. What I know for sure is that i'm no longer able to stealth while shadow flare is active.Use shadow flareUse cloak and daggerNotice that stealth didn't workSadness...Here is the build i'm currently using... https://imgur.com/a/oOwhHJmIf anyone knows a solution to my problem, please let me know. =)Thank you!

Eugenides.1274 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 This may not be a bug. When you notice it not working, do you see the revealed debuff above your skillbar?From the details of your post and what I saw by testing it out real quick, the issue may be that the pulsing damage from Shadow Flare is breaking your stealth.

Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 It works in some situation. I don't know what causes the bug. I do get the debuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I tried using shadow meld during the pulse phase. Doesn't seem to work either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 I tested a little more, and i'm certain that it's the shadow flare pulses that gets me out of any stealth. Blinding powder, shadow meld, cloak and dagger, shadow refuge...It's bad! This needs to be fixed. This ability is part of the main dps rotation of deadeye dagger/dagger thieves.

Linken.6345 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 your not supposed to be able to stealth and deal damage at the same time mate if the flare pluse wait to use cloak and dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 By that logic, you wouldn't be able to stealth if you have conditions on a target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linken.6345 Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 shadow flare aint a condition tho.A condition happens after you use a skill and stays on a mob after you used said skill its not the skill in itself, comparing it to something would be trying to stealth while useing your skill 1 continously.

Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 You're right that it is like that right now. The damage from the pulses get you out of stealth. But, i've been able to use the malicious backstabs during the shadow flare duration before. I don't understand why it's different now.I mean, I would have noticed it before. I've been playing deadeye thief for a while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chillbox.6319 Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 "Hitting a foe with an attack breaks stealth for the attacker; if the attack was made out of range, misses, was blocked, or was evaded, they will not break stealth. Abilities that do not deal direct damage (like Caltrops, or the Traps which do not deal direct damage) will not break stealth, even though they apply damaging conditions." I don't know exactly what is considered direct damage. But if you count traps as something that keeps you in stealth... It's strange that shadowflare would get you out of stealth.
