Cloak of Displacement doesn't work (BUG)

[Doc]

It's a shame, because it's one of my favorite items.
Description:
Displacement: At the beginning of the wearer's turn, the cloak activates, granting enemies Disadvantage on Attack Rolls that target the wearer. This effects lasts until the wearer takes damage.

Reality: The Cloak rarely gives disadvantage as intended, and the effect is always suppressed after the first enemy attack, no matter if it's a miss.

I hope they'll fix it someday.

You are just better off with the cloak of protection tbh. The point in the game where you get it, most critical enemies wont be disadvantaged regardless because of their own abilities to give advantage. If the enemy has advantage innately, and the cloak gives them disadvantage, then it averages out to a standard hit. But having a +1 to AC and saving throws is an affect that is always active 100% of the time.

I tested this one too. You can see disadvantage being given in the rolls of the combat log. Just because they have disadvantage doesn't mean they miss. If you have a low armor class, they'll still hit you.

Also, magic will remove the effect for the turn so standing or running through something or getting hit with something is turning it off.

I put it on my fighter with 22 armor class and it's pretty amazing. They rarely got hit before, but now it's even stronger.

Hi OP it might be a bug yes. I didn't tested it. You should tell it to Larian here the platform: https://larian.com/support/faqs/how-to-submit-a-bug-report_85
Writing the bug is really simple and offer a better visibility to them. They are rarely reading in here.

Edit: But you might have to listen to him first:

Maybe do more tests?

I have 26 of AC and the log almost never shows any disadvantage. Anyway the buff is lost after the first miss.

I'm on PS5 and it works fine.

I had it before; disadvantage is often better than a +1 but now I'll change again

Honestly there is nothing to fear in this game on any difficulty once you know the game. currently doing a jack of all trades run and its still easy to kill things with all the illithid powers being fully unlocked. Ascended Astarion can clear up to the final fight depending on how you build him. Stealth in and kill a couple enemies then run away to reset agro, rinse and repeat. The more i play the more I'm realizing how easy this game is.... just like every other BG title.
