Hm. Everytime my shot goes wide (or misses by a teeny tiny bit) I'll have to sit back and remember how "easy" it is to play an Infiltrator.

Try it with a non-infiltrator. Not as easy.

Riiighhhtttt.......like we equip heavy one-shot sniper rifles/shotguns on other classes that rely on powers.
If you miss a shot using other classes, you would spam your powers, or keep shooting, if you are not using a sniper rifle.
If a cloaked infiltrator miss a shot in close range, s/he is pretty much screwed unless s/he has grenades. They have a smaller window of time to correct their mistake as comapred to the other classes.

Infiltrators rely on powers, so the comparison is apt. Infiltrators also use other weapons, so the comparison is apt..
If you miss a shot using Tactical Cloak, you would spam your powers, or keep shooting, regardless of what weapon you are using. The same for any class.
Every non-infiltrator class is screwed when they miss a shot in close range. But, Infiltrators not so much because they can run away and hide better than anyone else.

Tactical Cloak still has that three second cooldown dude.
Let me give you a scenario here to demonstrate my point.
You are playing against Cerberus. You are using a Widow /Claymore. You see two Phantoms coming for you. You cloak and shoot, but you miss. You lose your cloak, and you are entering cooldown. Those Phantoms are pissed and they are now using their palm gun. You've yet to reload your gun. If you reload, there is a chance you will be killed. You can either
Option A - Pray someone else gets their attention so you can do the reload cancel trick and hopefully your cloak is usable again.
Option B - Dodge like a madman
There's not much you can do when you screwed up a shot in this scenario

Hahahaha I can't stop laughing at page 7!
The amount of skill required for Tactical Cloak is the same as the skill required for Adrenaline Rush or Marksman. Use it whenever you can and DON'T SUCK.[/quote]
Except you get shot while using ARush or Marksman.

Not when you are in cover, which is something I hope you actually use...
[/quote]
Who the hell turns on ARush or Marksman and just sits in cover without sticking their head out to shoot? Or, are you saying that sticking your head out to shoot from cover makes you invincible? I'm not sure what flavor of non-sense you are peddling with this statement.

I hope you are joking. The smart way of playing requires you to stick to cover, not pretending to be Rambo. General rule of Gold. You CAN stick your head out to shoot, in case you didn't know. You can put a lot of fire downrange since you are more accurate, being in cover and all. If you know what you are doing, you can stagger and kill your enemies quickly. You are not "invincible", then again, who is?

Besides, those skills require you to stick out your head longer to effectively maximise its damage potential, which in my experience, using the right weapon can have the ability to deal a lot more damage than an infiltrator. By shooting a lot more often than an infiltrator would, of course you will draw aggro, compared to a typical infiltrator using one-shot weapons.

Apparently, you are not yet ready to make the connection between getting shot and difficulty of play. But at least you finally realised that othe classes get shot more than an infiltrator. You're learning, gratz.

Tactical Cloak, as the name suggests, will make you invisible enough so you don't get shot. The last time I checked, only Infiltrators get this skill. A Rush, Marksman, Biotic Charge etc. does not make you invisible.
P.S. I hope you actually utilise cover, so you don't get shot as often. It is programmed there for a reason.
