Cloak and melee

psycoprophet

Is weaving in and out of cloak as a nb while in melee a viable strategy or is it unreliable in ur experience? Deciding what bar to slot cloak on.

you want cloak in the bar you have concealed weapon

I've always used it on front bar

That's how I play my Nightblade.

I'd say its reliable if you have the skills and tools to cloak under pressure.

I'd slot it front bar if running concealed weapon for 2 reasons: (1) better cloaked mobility without weapon swapping, (2) easier access to the stun component of concealed weapon. I'd still slot hysteria on the back bar though as more of a defensive tool when outnumbered.

Definitely slot cloak and concealed. It's reliable until you run into the guys who don't like you and they have detect pots and a lot of motivation and mobility.

and also: i find using cloak as "defensive only" is the best choice, it saves alot of anger and failed attempts of trying to use it offensively against Good players that have multiple counterplay like detect pots and tons of ways of pulling you out of stealth during fights.
its best used as defense.

I use cloak the same way. Cloak for me is a tool to exponentially multiply the space that dodge rolls, LOS, RAT, and shade make. Sure it can make space by itself, but against seasoned opponents, simply cloaking won't work. You have to do something first that makes space, and then cloak.
