Cloak

Bladedancer can become cloaked or invisible to her enemies. In PvE, enemies will lose track of you and fire at your last known position. Additionally, cloaked Bladedancer can save her fireteam from a wipe in strikes and missions. It is especially important during Nightfall difficulties.

In PvP, Bladedancer become mostly stealthed with a blue-ish outline. While outline is more visible if you are moving quickly, it is quite faint if you are standing still or moving slowly. Cloak also reduces your signature on your enemies' Motion Tracker or radar. It reduces the tracker's ping from once every 3 seconds to once every 5 seconds.
