Well not only am I a BH, but I will be a jedi in two weeks, and have a question about chosing the Cloak tree in powers.
How long does my cloak last for? Does it suck down force? Or can i literally stay cloaked 24hours straight if i sat there at my pc.
Just wondering what the parameters were for cloaking. I know you have to be like 15m away from someone to cloak, but how does it come off, other than de-activating it.
Does it only last for like 10min or something, and you have to re-apply? or what?
Thanks guys.

correct you have to be away from others to cloak then the cloak will hold for as long as you have force remaining....the more people/npcs etc that are near you the faster it will drain. therefore the more force you have the longer you can cloak......if i sit down in the middle of nowhere with noone around i can happily cloak all day i think....but with put it on in dant mo and my force is spanked in 40 secs at most.
if you are planning on using it with bh skills then yes it will work ive seen it done and it works very well when you are ready to close in for a kill......scare the hell out of a jedi to see a bh uncloak next to him! dont forget tho that if you are cloaked then you cant wear armour.......tho it may be poss to cloak then equip before uncloaking (ive not tried)

You "toggle" it on if ....there's nothing within a range of 20m.
I noticed it isn't possible to cloak if a BH (attacking you) is within 30m(or 32?),
The more people/npc around, the more force it drains. - you can channel while cloaked and heal yourself.
Groupmembers do not prevent you from cloaking within any range. - vehicles do!
You can stay cloaked as long as you like to.
If you attack anybody while cloaked: you "should" uncloak automatically. If not and you're in PvP - uncloak(i heard there is a bug that may give you the ability to stay cloaked while attacking)!
Any more questions?

really? how can a bomb droid attack a cloaked jedi target?
Can a BH use a PROBOT to attack me when i'm cloaked?
How does this work?

They know where you are, they place the droid there, tell it to detonate --> booom!
He will imediatelly turn red while you're hit by him (area).
Now because he's in your target and in combat with you, your default attack may attack him (and you're uncloaked?)
Don't know exactly, i'm glad not to use a default action
- some guildies told me about such an event. I everytime get only hit by that droid and start running away cloaked Any others got experience with this?
