Thank you zos.
I love the new toggle.

It’s awful unless you are into RP. Practical use it’s much worse.

I hated it at first but Im getting used to it

Sometimes it does not work on the first try, it boots you back to being visible and you have to hit it a second time. I haven’t figured out why other than maybe you are too close to the enemy. I don’t recall this being an issue before.

It is just... it is just bad. In order to do anything useful with it, you need to spam Equilibrium/Siphoning Strikes every 2 seconds. I liked it way more when you just needed to use Cloak every 3 seconds vs toggle cloak on & use other skill every 2 seconds...

Also, mobs & some single target ranged projectiles just love to do what they are not supposed to be allowed to - break cloak. With previous version of cloak, it was bearable as you could just re-cast cloak fast & it would register your status on server side as "invisible", so random bow LA projectiles or mobs "thinking of attacking you" were less of an issue.

With toggle, you can't do that and the buggy mess with various things interacting with invisiblity is even more prominent now. I honestly think that vamp + invisibility pots is way better at this point.

Just found out yesterday that you can pickpocket and pick/open safeboxes while staying cloaked, so the toggle version is handy for thieving.

The pvp community is not so happy with the change but many pve players are. Need the crit restored vs players.

Yes, it's much better now

I was skeptical at first, but now that I'm used to it, I love it.

From the perspective of a NB PvP Bomber or PvE Thief related activities, the change is fine.

For PvP solos, the change is very bad, especially for Stam blade, mag resources are extremely hard-pressed, and the toggle is fickle. Many times, I have to click twice to toggle on or off, lag makes this even worse. Spent a couple hours in IC over last week and the cloak just doesn't serve a reliable function in fast-paced PvP combat anymore.
