Thread: Answer for all you hoping to FR with Cloak when it gets nerfed
This is quoted from a dev:

5. Some non-combat actions can also reveal you (like healing for instance)
I would like clarification on this as it pertains to forcecloak
here are some non-combat actions
ForceRun?
Forcespeed?
Channel?
logout?
Force cloak is currently intended to be an alpha strike facilitator, not a "get oufa fight and regenerate free" card; nor was it intended to letme selectively bypass content. Force Run was designed to be a (more) balanced escape mechanism for Jedi. With the new hiding/stealth system, you can probably count on mostany action that would let you get backin the fight for free (after you would have probably lost) to breakstealth(including Force Cloak). That includes the abilities you asked about. As a general note, logging out/in whilst having a hiding/stealth buff on you (including cloak), removes that buff. If it looks like the fight is going southI tend to Burst/Force Run now.
Please keep in mind that everything is subject to more play testing and balancing.
This means, you will NOT be able to run while cloaked OR will you be able to log out while cloaked. If you do the stealth buff is removed and you are open for attack.
Clearly, this skill is worthless to those who were using it to avoid BH's and possibly the devs were thinking ahead of all the whines Jedi would have when the FRS came back lol.
22 bad depressing patches vs 2 looking forward to patches(vehicles and POB update)...
the future looks bad for me...

What's going to be unfair about this nerf, if it goes live, is that it's not going to be able to be used by the classes it was intended for - Powers & Enhancers. They won't have enough defense to be able to use it.
But a MLS/Defender, hey, they can still dabble and get cloak and use it just fine. They can de-cloak and attack because they can take the punishment. Powers and Enhancers can't take the punishment, they can't take the damage and now, they can't get away.
This nerf is pure insanity.
I think you should focus less on the fact you can't take damage and more on the fact it will be nearly impossible to get into a 5m range of a personwhile being under that super snare with force draining like crazy.
Complain about the specific skill, not about the obvious flaws in templates. I think a good argument can be made if they snare a Jedi while cloaked something will have to be done with either FC or the devs are going to have to show me exactly how one sneaks close enough to someone while crawling.

I agree the nerf is silly. But to say an enhancer can't get away? with FR3? what do you want, Wonder Woman's invisible jet?
