Best part is when you pop Force Cloak, and you drop combat, but don't drop combat. I'm talking when you stealth, and you pop back out of stealth, and no one is attacking you, but you can't meditate or re-stealth.

Level 48 shadow tank here, and let me recount this: the later levels get MUCH harder. If Vivicar is making you want to quit the game, good luck past 40. Also, in response to ranging an ability being an exploit: if Bioware doesn't want players kiting Vivicar around and winning that way, they'll make his abilities zone-wide and not an AoE. Simple as that.
