Thread: Force Cloak question

I have spent the last hour under cover 60m from my mark and he is cloaked. He is running around moving from 45m to 90m away from me but not attacking, not doing anything really, just moving.


My questions are
Is this another AFK grinding deal ---- moving past mobs while cloaked?
Can a cloaked Jedi break a rifleman's cover?

And last but not least

Is there anyway I can break his cloak so I can attack?

Don't see how it could work since you can't attack while cloaked, besides, if he is moving his toon he is either at the computer, /follow something, using third party software.


Good question! No idea.


Mostly no.... but maybe yes. There is no single action or attack that breaks cloak. However, if you have some friends.... call them up and everyone can crowd around the jedi (not sure if it's 32m or 20m away at most) and the more people and NPCs around (so call faction pets) the more force it costs to stay cloaked. If he is truly afk, you may be able to break it when he eventually runs out of forceand attack.

He has a camp set up and he is moving what apears to be in and out of the camp. We are out in the boondocks at the edge of the map on dantoine so the friends stuff is out and the area attack would be a nest of level 65 voritors so that wouldnt be the best.


Damn this upsetting, between cloaked jedi and the /duel exploit I have wasted 2 days


BTW -- a rebel jedi's explaination of using the /duel ( I was a bud's scout and didn't have the mission) was -- and I quote "what??? its not an exploit I was just checking to see if you had my mission" . The Jedi in question is a member of the guild KNR on the Valcyn sever and his name is "DIDO" please be aware that if you approach him he will be fooding up quick so hit him fast. He is a runner as well so a kd -- root right off of the bat would also be in order.

Only if he is stupid enough to have an auto-attack selected. Most cloakers dont. Also, if he is running, he probably is at the keyboard, so he would cloak again.
One question remains: What does a Jedi need scout xp for? Is somebody regrinding FS lines maybe? Seems to be a boring grind...

Camping XP is no longer required for scout. Only generic "scout XP" and trapping XP (if you're looking to master Scout). The scout XP you get from camping compared to harvesting critters is about the same ratio of a Jedi's XP for a kill compared to any other same-CL character.

Don't know what he would be grinding as you have to kill mobs in order to get Jedi XP.Attacking a mob while cloaked will break cloak.
Can a cloaked Jedi break a rifleman's cover?

Yes a Cloaked Jedi can break a rifleman's cover. I've done it to a couple of them.

And last but not least

Is there anyway I can break his cloak so I can attack?

No there is no way to break cloak other then the Jedi running out of force. If there is not enough mobs or NPC's to drain his force fast enough or he has channel well it won't break unless the Jedi attacks something or drops cloak intentionally.
