From what I understand the old ways of pulling them out of cloak (using an area attack special on a pal you duel and have stand next to the jedi, as well as the bomb droids) no longer work.





It works just Jedi have gotten smarter with it. Before Area attacks didn't pull you out of cloak, what pulled you out of cloak was the fact Jedi had an Auto-attack on and it would target whoever attacked you and attack it. Thus... you would uncloak.

I turned on the simple shadows on the control panel. When they are cloaked their shadow shows up on the terrain. This will eventually be fixed, but it works right now. I am under the impression that they cannot do anything while cloaked, like heal, attack, etc lest the cloak will drop, am I correct?

I typically DON'T deal with cloakers though, for the obviously frustrating aspect of it. But if forced, I can usually kill them.






They can heal.

On a side note, I do think Cloak is unbalanced in that it's easy to get for anyone. Almost every Jedi has cloak in there template because, like someone above stated, it's only 34SP's and a quick and easy getaway. I think a perfect solution would be to add it to MASTER Force Wielder. Then Jedi would have to waste a huge amount of SP's just for CLoak when the rest of the skills really do kind of bite. It would be a waste and no one would have Cloak in their template but those that are Master Powers.

Well most cloakers' defense sucks and they go down real fast, because they spent most of their defensive points on cloak--unless of course they didn't go for master saber in which case their offense sucks.


It is not my experience that "almost every" jedi have cloak in their templates. I see many more master enhancers (I love enhancers). I believe Most are master defenders.


If cloak moves to the master powers box, most will go master defender. That's not a change that I would welcome.
