How about working with the system and pushing for fixes to cloak so that this perceived nerf won't be as harmful.


If a BH cannot AOE or DOT you, cannot /target or /follow you. And Mob Aggro is removed while cloaked. Then having a snareon the cloaked person will not hurt anyone who wants to use cloak legitimately and not just for Uber Loots. The healing thing will inconvenience some people, but it will not get them killed, it will just hamper their ability as a first-striker. Which the dev's don't apparently like anyway.


Without those fixes though, Cloaking becomes a deathtrap to anyone who uses it. Cloak, Snare.... AOE, DOT, AOE, AOE AOE=Dead Cloaker because they can't run away fast enough.

Is powers meant to be a nuker? No. Is rifleman? Yes. It's like trying to compare pistoleer and rifleman. They each have things that they're good at. Rifleman doesn't have good area attacks, they don't have a choke-like ability. They're very disimilar in purpose. Rifleman is meant to be a nuker. To get first-strike to facilitate this view, they got a very limited form of stealth. /conceal shot is very low damage compared to other shots.

Who said Powers was not supposed to be a Nuker? The only posts I see saying Powers is supposed to be a support class are made by the players, and usually they wield a LS and hope that they will remain the only damage dealer in Jedi.

I have seen 2 posts from Coro quoting devs that state Powers is supposed to be a mid ranged Damage dealing profession. Get it, damage dealing, not support. The only thing that seperates Powers from LS as far as damage is the looted component requirement. Based on dev hints over the last few weeks I doubt that those components will be a seperation for very long.

Commando is supposed to be a Nuker as well, right now they are borked as is Powers. Do you intend to tell me that Commando which is supposed to rate a 5 on offense is also a support class because it has AOE on it's weapons?

Out of curiosity.... would you rather that they left cloak alone and allow each and every MBH to get M Ranger and cloak themselves??? This change wasn't to nerf cloak but to address a HUGE issue we would have had when the new Ranger hit the scene. If you aren't aware of what I am talking about, look at the cool M Ranger ability to "cloak" in cities. Then imagine you were walking in Theed and got jumped by a MBH/M Ranger/ 4000 CM with a med bot.... oh yeah, and your health was already hit by the max dmg bio trap he used on you.


The change benefits each and every Jedi in the game, despite the fact that the cloak skill isn't as powerful as it once was.








lol..that statement amuses me greatly

why would a BH need to wander around cloaked via ranger?? they ALREADY get first strike and any BH worth anything you wont know he is about until he starts shooting. ranger for a BH would be a huge waste of skill points.
