Then buzz off back to prep school and let somebody else do it without your ego-flaunting.



Because much of ESO is handled server-side, the precise mechanics aren't as well-known as in previous, easily-hackable ES games. From what I can gather, however...



Sneak attack

• Performs up to 3x damage. Has additional effects for specific Nightblade skills.

• Must be performed from the side or behind. The individual enemy must not have detected you yet.

• Only works with attacks that damage in one instant - not with AoE or channeled attacks. In addition, the attack must either deal physical damage (e.g. Bow) or be a melee attack in its non-morphed form (e.g. Assassin's Blade -> Impale).

• Shadow Cloak does not put you in sneak, it just makes you invisible. Sneak before activating it or you can't land a sneak attack.



Critical

• Performs +50% damage by default.

• Is divided into two kinds - Weapon Critical (physical damage / stamina skills) and Spell Critical (magic damage / magicka skills).

• Is probably useless. Its effect is hardly noticeable, or else nerds would have measured exactly how it works by now.



Both

• ... aren't announced when you land them without Addons. The only way to know you landed a Critical is to see the enemy's health go down 50% more than normal.

Thank you for your answer but i'm sure that i'm sneaking behind. Shadowy disguise gives me guarantied crit and Conceal weapon 4 sec stun (with shealted and invisible). I never land a crit, stun or sneak attack , it always hit base damage.(Btw i can stun and sneak atttack with light and heavy attack)

i think its bugged after the latest patch, take a look at official forums, i think i saw a few posts about this bug recently.

Like that j3rk said, there's TONS of mechnics, and its hard to say what's wrong with you.
Not mention devs hate NB class and half of skills works not the way they should. Some of those are just broken.
Easiest bet is you're wrong with timings. Shadowy Disguise grants 100% crit only for 3 seconds since using, and ~0,5 of those will be eaten by animation. So you have around 2-2,5 seconds to hit. But some skills have animation as well, and some of those cover SD timings.

Concealed Weapon grants you +20% movement speed in sneak and stealth, 4 sec stun works for Veiled Strike and both morphs, not exactly CW.

And many stuns have internal coldown on target, not mentioned this cd may be shared with snared effects, so for some stun skills stun wont work at all if you snared target before.
