As much as i hate nerfing diversity i wish theyd hurry up and move cloak to Mpowers to end the constant yelling for nerfs.

The whines wouldnt stop though theyd just move to force run 2 needing a nerf or some such.




I'd rather not see it moved, it would make that branch even more worthless than it is and would just be piling more skills in the master box. We've already seen alot of screwups because of these kinds of nerfs.

How about an easy fix? Instead of moving cloak to the Master box thus making lots of jedi change their template add a quest item (something that has to be obtained) giving the MBH the chance to not have his/her mind clouded. If Jabba's mind (a slug) was strong enough to resist the clouding you would think others have the mind strength as well. It could also be implemented based on the number of kills (the more kills the better chance of resisting, but that would limit players that don't get to play multiples hours everyday to hunt multiple jedi). Another problem with the kill system is there would be no way to account for a long fight that took strategy compated to afk/ld kills because there is a difference even though afk/ld kills are "strategic" kills.
Just my 2 cents.



Jedi won't change thier temp just to get cloak in a master box... Too much loss of offense... Most jedi I know care about the GCW PvP... Where if your a master powers.. you will not be as prosperous as a Master Lightsaber.... Plus if they kept master lightsaber and got Mpowers they would lose a great deal of defense or thier healing abilities...
Just my 2 cents



This is spot on.

People who have Cloak and not MPowers fit into one of two categories (or both in some cases):

1) People who want to have a means of escaping BHs (the "I Win" button)
2) People who want to gank opposing faction SF players without them knowing they are there.

I'd wager most people fit into the second category - and if you put Cloak in the MPowers box very few of them would forfeit MDef or MLS to pick it up. BHs and players in general would get the best of both Worlds then - less Jedi doing the cloak n' run on BH missions, and less Jedi pulling/generating/avoiding aggro in places like DWB.

I don't know how much you guys know about Cloak, but you get aggro even when cloaked - except nothing can hit you. Therefore, hypothetically speaking, if there were a bunch of near-impossible mobs between your group and "the prize", you could quite easily pull them away and just have them standing around you, aggro'd but unable to do anything, whilst your group wanders past. I've had 2 Krayt Ancients and a Giant Canyon Krayt sat on my head whilst cloaked and it has made negligible difference to my Force pool.

Anyway, that's a seperate issue. I think you'll find that most Powers users want Cloak moved to the Master box, where it can be used by people who are actually dedicated to the tree, as opposed to dabblers just picking it up for gank fests.




You are very very wrong on this one. I have cloak and do not fall under either category. But I don't intend to keep it much longer.

My opinion is that if you want to kill anything easily....you never should have picked B/H. I can cover....wait for my opponent to let his guard down....countless ways....afk.ld....etc, and snipe him dead and he never even knew I was stalking him or he is too arrogant to care. The jedi's arent whining and moaning in general....sure if I do it they will....that one....but too damn bad...he knew the risks when he went jedi....people need to realize B/H is not for those without patience or dont pick it.
