Exclamation Shotguns for Cloakers, I say no, you?


Okay, watching the faction weapons webcast, they said this thread would be here, so I'm ensuring they know the future, because I want them to look into their crystal ball there at SOE and tell me that shotguns on a cloaker is smart.

I am a former cloaker, and at this point, I'd love it, but hate it. There's plenty of pros and cons...

Pros:
One-shot kills of other cloakers.
Serious damage to infantry in close quarters.

Cons:
Loud noise, draws lots of attention.
Slow reload and almost entire loss of cloak.

These are just what I thought up right now... I'm sure there's more. Let's elaborate, and each weigh in on how well this would work.

I vote we wait and see how it turns out. They said they where playing with it still. As in they might or might not give them shotguns.


With that said,If they do it right I have no problems with it.

IDK about you all, but I might just have to try cloaking out so I can use my silenced shotgun with it's 8X zoom scope.

I was eating a mouth full of pie when I read that and you almost made me spit it out

Still chuckling at the mental image . . .

Let's not all stick our thumbs in our mouths and wait... You know, collaborative thought, it's a wonderful thing when it's used properly. I also noticed that my Pros and Cons do kind of outweigh each other, but honestly, this might be taking away some of the difficulty and skill it takes to be a moderately good ninja.

They have stated, that things that might of been op in PS1 may not be the case in PS2. I still say lets wait and see. Also, they have said cloakers cannot fire their weapon while cloaked.

This. No one in this thread can confirm that this combo will even be super OP. It's a cloaker, I'd be willing to bet they have very VERY limited ammo or something along those lines.

I'd also be willing to bet quite a few of the people in this thread have it in their minds that this will be like a PS1 Cloaker wielding a Jackhammer with tons of ammo. Lol.
