My gut tells me Assassination cloak, for the increase in damage. But the utilitarian within me, the part within me striving for the greatest amount of utility, says Enhanced Cloak for perma-sneaking.

But what do the wise men and women on this forum tell me? =o

Assassination.



Since the cloak drops once you take any shot and I've found that AC lasts long enough to let you set up almost anywhere as it is, the extra seconds are kinda useless IMHO. The damage bonus is far more desirable.

Assassination Cloak will allow you to get to any cover needed as cover is very generous and plentiful in this game.



I ran circles around horizon Pratorians and Scions using Assassination Cloak in NG+ Inf.

Yea, It would be a much harder choice if you were able to get 2 Widow shots off while cloaked.

As it stands +2 sec does not = Damage bonus.

IF it really was perma cloak, but I tend to doubt it. On the same note I never took it, Assassination all the way. 75% (or whatever) extra damage on the tank gun is SO nice.

I took Enhanced Cloak. 8 seconds is great and since I don't snipe as much as some, it's perfect.

Enhanced cloak. The 35% extra damage is nice but the 2 extra seconds in cloak will allow you to skip entire sections, which is pretty handy on insanity to counter the cheap endless hordes of geth on haestrom. There are several times where enhanced will allow you to run to the end. Haestrom, Collector ship, Legion loyalty etc...

Assassination. Just be sure to get the "Tech Duration" & "Tech Cooldown" ugrades. They help you get back some of what you would get from Enhanced Cloak.

This never even occurred to me, I guess because I actually like the combat in this game. But if you were doing a speed run, or just liked the dialog ... hmm. So you just leave your squad behind and scoot ahead to the next dialog interaction? I guess since you're not getting XP per kill, you don't even really miss out on anything in terms of character advancement, right?

In my two Insanity play i had never an endless hordes of anything. There is ALWAYS an end. The longest fight was during a side mission with 180 robots (the number was on a datapad, it was the mission with the virus on a shipment of droids).

Assassination if you snipe, Enhanced if you use your SMG more.

[Besetment]

If you want to play more Sniper than Pistols/SMG then go Assassination Cloak. You don't need so much battlefield mobility because you have range.



If you want to play more Pistols/SMG with Snipers to clear a path to get into close quarters then take Enhanced Cloak. The extra 2 seconds makes a difference.



If you speedrun take Enhanced Cloak. It makes it possible to do things like run to the shutters on Archangel's recruitment mission without having to shoot anything. Its that much harder to do it with 6 seconds of cloak time.

That would be a tough one -- I've tried it but a varren always runs through and resets the shutter. Or worse, Jacob pulls a vorcha through and resets it (way to keep your eyes on the prize, dude).

Even if you're not really speedrunning, it can be nice to have the ability to run past a fight when you're not in the mood for it. That seems to be the main advantage to Enhanced Cloak.

Did you actually kill all 180?

Even with assasin cloak I was able to run through the Husk zerg at the end of the collector ship mission.

The only use I can see of enhanced cloak is for shotgun infiltrators.

[InfiniteCuts]

I went with Enhanced just to get a feel for it and see what it had to offer. On Insanity, I needed every second of its duration to ensure I got to cover safely when flanking or when escaping from enemies. The damage boost isn't as high, but it can be added other ways (Improved Geth Shield Boost, Stabilization Gauntlets, upgrades). Along with Agent's duration, recharge and health bonuses, I could ensure my safety in most situations. Not for the damage-hungry, but very useful tactically.

Assassination Cloak FTW!

Most annoying is the Tali recruitment mission. The hordes of Geth do stop, but if you go away (like I did, to clear the next area before doubling back and picking up both quest items at once) it starts all over again.

Yeah. That was annoying.
