What Do you think a skill called Cloak is supposed to do?

a) It costs 3.2 million jedi xp, I think that translates into 18 million weapons xp(for normal rifle etc).
b) You have to invest 28 skill points just to achieve it.(+ 24 FS = 52)
c) You are not allowed to cloak within 20m of any PC/NPC/mob/vehicle
d) 15 sec cool-down on cloak.


So seriously what do you expect it should be?....to keep you warm on a cold Tatooine night?

The reason I ask this is that there are sooo many people/BH-wannabies that are complaining about this. Its sad that they are, I believe a good BH should be able to get around cloak easy. That goes under the assumption that he is fighting a normal/unskilled jedi. A competant jedi with cloak should stand an even change of getting away.

Try keep em constructive. I really do want to hear what you think the skill should be able to do. Considering you have to invest more killing/xp time to get cloak than to become a fully templated BH/etc

your probably right.....good way also to get that perfect first strike....just when they are on 500 health.

Well...I notice that whenJedi grind Lairs they almost alwaysuse force meditate to replenish their forcebefore moving on to the next Lair. This would be a great time to kick off an ambush. LOW FORCE + LOW HEALTH + CLOAKED MBH = DEAD JEDI...LOL

when talking about any single Jedi skill in the 4th box of any given branch, you should really say it costs 58 skill points to get instead of simply 28. I think it's more fair to factor in the obligatory force sensitive skill points.

The main gripe I have with cloak is the fact that is just about a 100% no questions asked way to leave a fight. I realize you must be 20m from the attacker and/or any other NPC/PC, however with lag the way it is, you can get 20m away from me before you even start to move on my screen, easily. And this is server side lag, not on my end of things.

IMO put it in MPowers, so 'dablers' dont have access to it. Or make it so a blind state can prevent cloak (give clear blind state to the jedi in the same box that grants cloak).

As with anything that jedi have thats overpowered...

Jedi response is: "Its fine, quit whining you respec. And nerf this guy that managed to kill me, im supposed to be invincible"

aye something similar to this is the Cm paralyze or the smuggler concussion but the shoe is on the other foot.

I think it might be for the better when pub 20 comes.....the whole non-personal thing might be good to tune down the rethoric

I think its supposed to do exactly what it does it do - it cloaks you, or turns you invisible. Some people call it over powered, but it has no real power whatsoever. Wow, you can get 1 hit in before it releases itself, and with being targetable while its on, that hit doesn't come as much as a surprise to someone who sees you disappear. OK, so you can run away from a fight when you're about to lose - big deal. 1 on 1 its not hard to do that, but when you're fighting 2 or 3 people getting out of range is difficult to do. The skill does exactly what its supposed to and moving it to a master box to 'hurt dabblers' offends me, as I'm a pure dabbler. The lower force max/regen and lower skill mods 'hurts' me enough as is, It shouldn't be a requirement to be Master anything in this game. (The upcoming change to be MBH to hunt players bothers me too, Investigation 4 makes sense to me and always has).
