- Trade the Don't Touch Me gloves for Khepri's Sting, if you are able. These will let you select Hungering Blade (which restores your health on a successful Blink Strike or Arc Blade kill) while keeping your cloaking.

Sadly, I don't have them, but I'm inclined to agree. Don't Touch Me did its job a couple times, but most of the time it just wasn't coming into play.

- Trade Escape Artist for Fast Twitch. This will both help you perform backstabs more easily and will help you activate Hungering Blade much more often since your Blink Strike will be charged virtually all the time. I've never really found cloaking while meleeing someone head on to be very effective. Normally I either get the kill because I attacked first or I lose because I hesitated and cloaking does nothing to help me when I'm a few inches away from my enemy. With Khepri's Sting and Fast Twitch, you win if you get a backstab and, in my opinion at least, don't lose much vs Don't Touch Me and Escape Artist.

For more general gameplay, you're probably right. In this instance, I was really trying to stay out of melee range in the first place. Everything I was doing was in the interest of disappearing if that did occur - melee kills were last resort only.

Good job getting the Invective! It's still my favorite shotgun, even more so now that Special Ammo is in shorter supply. :)

Thanks. :) I think it'll be a fun one. Right now, my Titan's exotic slot is almost always taken by Suros Regime, but once I'm able to ascend my old Shadow Price I'll probably use Invective quite a bit.
