The wording is very confusing, so help me understand this... They changed it on the Jan. 23 patch to be 'worn to activate' but it was previously activated from inventory? Meaning, after that patch it needed to be worn, it wasn't a mistake in the patch message text?
Correct. However, they admitted it was a mistake in how they changed the DCotS, evidenced by their correction in the Feb. 13 patch.

Their clarification of changing from 'worn to activate' to 'race/class to activate' fixed it so that it can be used by rangers from inventory again. The confusing part is WHAT exactly was the error? Did they not mean to change Dark Cloak of the Sky at all and it was always Race/Class to activate? Or did they make the mistake of changing 'Activate from Inventory for all race/classes' to 'worn to activate', then later fixed it to 'Race/Class to activate'?
Based on their corrective patch on Feb. 13, it seems to me their original intent was to make the DCotS "Race/Class to activate," and not "worn to activate." This implies that the Cloak was usable by all classes from inventory (why else would they even need to make this change?). They nerfed SoulFire charges to being usable by paladins only in the same Jan. 23 patch (while still being inventory-usable by paladins), which lends evidence to their original intent being to nerf DCotS to being usable by rangers only (=race/class to activate, still usable in inventory).

Just wanted to take the time to thank you for changing the Dark Cloak of Sky back to its original functionality for rangers only. Thank you so much for listening to the community, and such a quick change. Cheers!

We just flipped the wrong switch when changing the item. We're sorry for the trouble.
Unfortunately not very concrete, but seems to imply there was some community outcry if you wanted to search other message boards.
