A lot of times, dandomly, DArk Illusion skill fails with the message "You can't do it yet". After that the caracters does a normal attack, ruining your hide status.
Is VERY annoying....

I think, based on the skill description, it means after you jumped the mob was looking towards you - so you can't attack from behind. Keep pressing the hotkey for it, and when the mob faces away, the skill should active as normal.

It appears to happen randomly no matter which direction the enemy is facing. I've seen the bug happen to players trying to kill stationary monsters, too; such as dungeon bosses. Big spider in wolf cave, for example.
Keep pressing the hotkey for it, and when the mob faces away, the skill should active as normal.
The fact that thieves do have to "keep pressing the hotkey" until the skill eventually decides to work is exactly the reason why this so annoying.
Also, when the attack finally registers, it doesn't always crit like the skill description promises.

I had this problem several times as well, but from what I could tell it was mainly just my character ended up looking away from the enemy after teleporting. By turning around and hitting the hotkey several times, I could normally get Dark Illusion off with no issues. Obviously this isn't ideal, and is somewhat annoying, but it wasn't too big of an issue.

This skill is definitely bugged. You're right though Dradoc, it occurs cause your thief ends up facing away. And you have to spam the hotkey to get it to work. I noticed this normally happens with stationary mobs like bosses. If you turn around to face the mob, your thief executes a normal attack, bringing you out of hiding.

This bug exists at SEA, too, and facing away from the mob after the jump isn't the issue, although it may be a contributing factor. I have had instances where the error occurred while facing the mob and instances where it did not occur while facing away from the mob.
