Moving it to the master box would not have changed it the way they wanted. They intended it to be a first strike skill. Simply moving it would not have changed the fact that it still let anyone with cloak basically exploit for loot and safely escape any BH encounter. The change was necessary to bring the skill on par with what it was originally meant to do. Hence fixing it was necessary.
Are you master powers? If you are'nt let me tell you about master powers... it isnt a first strike skill, the DPS is lame and has no ability to stay alive in a first strike sitch. As far as I am concerned cloak is a spy/stealth ability.... without cloak I don't stand a chance against a MCM BH...it's used for sneaking around and that is about it....but since SOE has come across a few ppl using cloak to there advantage they have decided to hump everyone else that uses the skill.
It's clear as day that the Devs don't actually see beyond harassment reports, etc.
All they are seeing is people using Cloak to exploit DWB, hold aggro whilst teammates run past with impunity, hold aggro whilst teammates pick off mobs one by one, groups of people PvP ganking, etc. They are seeing all the bad aspects of Cloak - all the things that should quite rightly be fixed.
What they are forgetting is exactly what you've written. MPowers is not a viable dmg template in the same vain as MLS. It was apparently supposed to be, but its nowhere near. The fact the Devs seriously think we can use Cloak as a alpha strike move means all they care about is the dabblers. They have no intention of moving it to Master Powers, where it belongs. THERE IS NO SKILL IN THE ENTIRE POWERS TREE THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED A VIABLE ALPHA-STRIKE AGAINST ANY JEDI. Choke? 150-300 dmg a tick, if you're lucky.
Maybe us MPowers are meant to only alpha-strike BHs (who we can't even alpha-strike anyway because they are unattackable until they alpha-strike us), or perhaps regular professions who happen to be participating in PvP (seen any? I haven't - it's 90%+ Jedi).
MOVE CLOAK TO MASTER POWERS AND 90% OF THE PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED RIGHT THERE AND THEN
No one who wants to be "teh pwner" is going to pick up MPowers and sacrifice so much of their MLS/MDef template to accommodate just Cloak. The only people who will keep it are those actually dedicated to the foibles of the class, the true Force Wielders.

You are right, I would expect another Jedi revamp for the 5th or 6th time. Far as I am concerned I was happy with Jedi when we could wear Composite Armor. Those were the good old days. God I miss them.

Yeah, I miss my composite armor, too. I had a 88-90% set. It was wonderful. I was powerful, but no powerful that I could wave my lightsaver in Theed without getting TEF'd to death.
I've about decided that the pre-Pub 9 Jedi system, sans permadeath, was much better than anything that has come since. So many of my friends are left - heck, I've lost two sets of friends in this game over the past two+ years.
Isn't it time to stop this nerfing madness while there's still a vestage (sp) of this game to save?
