Hide is the exception. All other stealth/invis powers will cancel out if you toggle on Stealth. :/

Sad really, as I've had a few Dark Armor Scrappers I wanted to take Phase Shift for concept with, but I couldn't see myself taking Stealth and skipping the in set stealth power, and taking those extra two powers for it was a waste :/

This goes with EA, Cold Dom, Storm, basically every Primary or Secondary Set that comes with a stealth/invis power.

As least with Stalkers hide, while pointless in PvE, I can still stack it!

I did complain about it in beta. I was basically told by lots of people (not all) "Toggle of the Mez Protection if you want to stealth" or "You're a Brute/Scrapper, you don't need to stealth"

Now if it's been fixed I'd like to know, but when I ran /EA I was taunting enemies with the aura.

It did for my EA scrapper. Why I shelved it. Is a stealth really needed, or all that important? No, not really. But when I have a stealth, I don't want to have to detoggle my mez protection just to make it work as intended. :/

Wasn't trying to be hostile. Was merely a quick reply. But I can see how it may be taken that way. Sorry!

My problem with Ninjitsu is the clickie Mez Protection. This didn't bother me with SR, but with NIN, it bothers me.

Also, once softcapped, I've found the lack of KB protection to be less of a problem. Then putting in 1 or 2 KB Resist IOs tends to really fix all that, but not getting hit tends to keep one from being KBed.

My other problem with NIN, is it gives up a higher DDR for a self heal and some (imo) not worth it toys. Love the concept of it, and I think I'll end up enjoying the set much more on a Scrapper, but as it is now, for a Stalker, I prefere WP.

I actually find that a bit sad, as I would hope NIN would be the #1 choice for Stalkers, even more so if they plan to keep it Stalker exclusive.

Will they keep it exclusive? No idea. They may say NIN is Stalker's Shield. OR they may just proliferate it. *shrug*

I wouldn't call that classic at all.

In fact, I'd call it something rather recent and still not that prevalent.

And your reply would be wrong.

So the test is a failure at what it's meant to accomplish?

The end drain portion of Energy Drain isn't useless when you up that difficulty.

Now, I'm not saying you've said it, but I find it odd that people will go on an on about +4/8 soloing,than use +1 level mobs to say the End Drain is useless.

Well, on those +4/8 enemies you'll find the end drain more helpful

Also, not every build has the AOE damage output to take out all the threats quickly.

EA has a Psi hole. You might consider this bad, untill you realize most sets do. Shield gets some defense in the way of positional defense, but no resists to it, and some psi attacks have no positional attachment.

EA is a well rouded set, that is easily made softcap, and comes with the added benefit of a self heal and end recovery.

It's DDR isn't great, most defense sets don't seem to be that great really. That seems to be the one thing that makes SR shine.

EA's (imo anyways) stealth is a joke however. because the mez protection toggle is also a taunt aura/enemy debuff aura.

So you have to toggle off the mez protection to use the stealth, which isn't 100% by itself to begin with (like all stealth toggles), but you now get left without mez protection.

And to the post in the beginning that said "You can take EA's stealth and a Stealth Proc and dance right in front of the enemies", well you can't with the mez protection toggled, and all those DA's can do the same thing.

A blaster with Concealment Pool: Stealth + Stealth IO can do it. Super Speed + Stealth IO can do it.

Something else that seems to be forgetten, EA can easily put in some +Psi Resist IOs into it's resist shields. Just with the EA powers alone, that's at least 9% Psi Resist, pick up Tough/Weave and that's 12%.

EA does have a real weakness in Toxic damage, but that's a pretty common hole as well.

Did I not say "generally better"?

I did!

There are of course exceptions. Though I'm not sure I'd say Blues Brothers has a superhero feel to it myself.

Now see. Look at that. Resident Evil movies and Underworld make the grade according to that test.

But she's a natural blonde :O

Comparing him to Jeremy Renner in that pic, who is 5ft 10in, I'm starting to think Hulk is at the 9ft mark.

IM in the suit has to gain some height as well.

I noticed that as well!

Also I think people forget, Sony doesn't want to lose the Spidey license, so having the reboots happen like this is probably going to be par for the course.

Is three years that big of a difference?

5 years between Spidey reboots. 8 years between Batman reboots.

I didn't say comics were for little kids. Just that many people think they are.

Myself, I don't find a problem with comics outfits, or the figures (generally speaking, I don't claim to like all art styles), as what some people are asking for is not generally visually appeal or doesn't fall into the realm of rulle of cool.

Heroes/Villains fighting it out in color spandex is generally better than everyone in a business suit.

It helps, but they still come off as cartoony.

They've already said no to the robes/gowns. They can't do it, and keep the legs from clipping through.

And looks way better than the foot in that shoe!

Or not many actors are willing to accept wearing a mask full time. Or they want the facial cues that don't show up when wearing a mask.

Not all actors can be Hugo Weaving.
