Cloak is just like EQ. You have to have it in your hands to activate it. You can be cloaked and hack, climb a latter, even inertia dampen. However you cannot fire, throw a grenade or use other EQ. However, there is a delay when you decloak so usually the first shot happens when they are still cloaked. The shimmer they're talking about is only apparent when they move. It's fairly noticeable when they are moving but they are practically invisible when they stay still.
That being said, if you yourself ever want to try cloak, be aware that a sniper can see through your cloak.

My understanding from other snipers is you don't appear cloaked to them at all when they are viewing you through their scopes. So be aware of that. Also for many people running cloaks, some of them like to stay still in corners and knife you so check all directions when entering a building. If you pass your cross hairs over a cloaked person, it will still turn red and they still die just as easily (if its a scout, beware the cloakmandos).
As a new cloakee, that might be a tempting thing to try but there are a lot of scouts out there since this patch and in my attempt to try the sit and wait game, I've had other scouts render me to pieces (not a good scout am I).
That being said, skilling even a little into some dampening would help and watch your 'you've been scanned' or 'scan attempt prevented' screen. Those messages are great intel news for 'someone is near me'. Most of the time, its a vehicle. I have team members who are great scouts and when they get scanned while cloaked, they warn us so we know a proto scout is near and probably one of us will die trying to find him.

My understanding from other snipers is you don't appear cloaked to them at all when they are viewing you through their scopes. So be aware of that. This is incorrect; cloaked Mercs still appear cloaked to Snipers. At best, a Sniper can see the shimmer of a moving cloak like everyone else, only they can see it at greater range. My Alt is a sniper and Cloaks still work when looking through the scope of my Rifle.
Ah well I stand corrected them.
