they gonna completly remove cloak
Hush now, thats how rumors get started /tsk tsk
Basically, cloak will become more of a stealth manuever. If you have ever played WoW, think of the way a rogue or druid in cat form move while invisible. Basically no more full out movement while under cloak. I don't like it but thats what is comin

We're not sure yet, as the changes havn't hit TC... But I'm assuming any skills used will break it as they are trying to tie it in with the ranger revamp and a similar ruleset they will use

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to take any actions under Cloak than movement.

Cloak isn't supposed to be a way to duck out of combat for 2 min, completely regen, then jump back in. It seems to me it should be used more as an escape tactic or a opening attack tactic(same goes for force run 3, we have huge dmg reduction because it's supposed to be more of an escape tactic)
Personally, if the dmg reduction stays on FR3, i would say it should have hte speed it used to have(faster then av-21) otherwise remove the dmg reduction. Would make the skill usefull. Right now it's used by almost nobody. Only time i see jedi use it is when they want to get around faster inside of a cave or a house where they can't ride bikes.
Right now FR3 is faster then burst run, but slower then any vehicle, just doesn't make sense that it costs 600 force for an ability that is almost useless(but lasts forever) where as FR1 has no dmg reduction, is extreamly usefull, and has a force cost of like 100.
