IGN: ManSIut Problem: Smokescreen 30 doesn't work as intended. Details: This happened to me the first time while killing Bigfoot in The Evil Rising. Since there are some Elderwraiths there, they kinda get on your nerves when using Meso Explosion as a Shadower when killing Bigfoot. Smokescreen usually gives you almost a minute of peace, but something happened to it after maxing it fully. While inside the smoke, I could get hit/missed by monsters but without taking damage. This is not supposed to happen, you're supposed to be completely invincible from any form of attacks while inside the smoke. At first I thought the skill was bugged inside that particular map, but due to new discoveries while fighting Horntail, I realized it wasn't the map that was bugged, it was the skill itself. Smokescreen is insanely useful for the main fight, especially during the Legs/Tail part, where both can and will most likely kill you if you run into them. While the skill does still prevent you from taking damage if hit, getting knocked left or right could still be fatal. My Smokescreen was lvl 28 before I passed lvl 170 and eventually maxed it, and until then and before that the skill has been working like it should. Instead of continuously bumping the thread I decided to edit the initial post and remove extra posts. Notes: It prevents you from taking damage in some maps, others not. It works perfectly for members in my party but not me.
This only happens when maxed? I thought that this bug happened at any level so did not know that it was working until level 30.
This is fixed for me now. I think the issue was with me, not sure exactly how it would effect a skill in-game, but it did. I talked with another Shadower in-game who had it maxed and it worked perfectly fine for him. Anyway, I updated my graphics drivers and ran ccleaner and after that it worked. Super weird coincidence it started happening exactly when I was able to max the skill though. Can close this I guess
