Smoke Veil

[Kilburn]

This must have been changed in the newest patch. I can no longer attack from smoke veil to trigger backstab and assassinate. 

GG that pretty much ruins the assassin which sucked to start with but this used to be a fun tactic at least. 

The veil lasts for 6 seconds with my INT but the character now refuses to attack from it. He just stands there for all 6 seconds.

I reloaded the map and it seems to be working now. odd, not sure what would cause that.

Just tested with a savegame: No problem. Smoke Veil has a rather long recovery time, so it's normal that you can't do stuff in the first few seconds after using it. But then I could backstab/assassinate just fine.

It may be that (if your teammates are too far away or you are solo) the encounter resets while you are veiled, taking invisibility away in the midst of duratuion and thus breaking backstabbing and assassinate right before you want to hit. Or it was just a hickup.

yup you're right. The encounter is resetting and combat is trying to end. It is inconsistent.
