I thought it did, but cloak 3 crits were only 15% damage increase, and the critical damage increase would be applied to that instead of the base damage increase from crits. Sorry if I didn't articulate that well.
I was pretty sure it did - I always thought Achilles made Level 3 cloak shots 25% more crit damage. If a developer could confirm this? My assassin strategy often exploits the level 3 cloak crits.
depends on what you are doing.. if you are trying to kill pros.. than no its not. if you just abuse lunge/smoke/dash to get around the map and stay cloaked.. its fine without armor.. I wouldnt run that in a serious game, but in pubs its amazing.. just kill bots when they are unguarded using katatan, if guarded, just shrukien them down.. and use cloak/shrukien assaults to burst down turrets.. you can absolutely murder turrets from a distance using that builds.. almost as fast as mortars.. and you can do it from safe distances, and with the ability to cloak away if someone comes after you.. i usually aim to kill turrets from distance, kill bot waves when not killing turrets and juice against lvl 3 rocket turrets that are too time consuming to shrukien down.. works wonders.. but thats if you want a shrukien build.. if you are shrukiening you really dont need armor as you run from almost all fights.
