Ok, I see alot of different stuff about cloaks getting nerf, well since the changes on Typhoid for BH's I might take cloak up.
Can anyone tell me if they are accually going to nerf it, and what they plan to do.

yes, they are. devs have made several comments about it.
We don't know _everything_ that's happening, but know some. Here's the deal:
Rangers are getting a revamp, in which they will become "spys" instead of trackers. This is not due with the expansion however, and is prolly still a month or so away. However they are incorperating a new ruleset into the cloak/cover type rules.
Cloak will add a snare, and "most skills and interactions will break cloak" (not a direct quote..) Devs have said cloak was never meant for getting away, but for alpha strike (first strike)
Which I find as a load of bull. Since all major pvp happens in cities now, if I gotta cloak outside the city, then walk, with a snare, through the city, with the dozens of npc's, I'm not even likely to make it to the target before I run out of force. And if I do, enough force for maybe 2-3 attacks then boom I'm dead..
Ah well

I see, and yes I agree with you on the snare crap.
Looks like I wont put cloak in my temp.
