"STALKERS (ATTENTION!!!)
--------------------------------
STALKERS SHOULD NEVER GET TPFOE!!!
Good, i got your attention! All you Stalkers out there, while your busy hiding in the bushes, do not use TPFoe! You will loose your hide/critability, which makes you as useless as a scrapper without a primary. Sure, if you really had to you could get this, and just placate foe, then crit. So yes, if you really really really wanted to you could, and it would still have SOME very limited functionality. OR if your one of those uber 'im looking for a challenge' stalkers who don't hide, you can use it all you want. "
...have you even played a stalker before? o.0

"You Can't Pull With TP Foe!"
Watch me: Thwunnnggg. <kill tp'd foe> <wait> <crickets>
"How did you do that?"
Easy:
1. Slot for range. The further away from a spawn point you pull a member, the less likely the others will agro.
2. Actually TP from farthest range possible. I've seen lots of failed TP Foe pulls because the TPer was withing spitting distance of the mobs. Not only do you have to be far away, but so should the team.
3. Break line of sight: You can get a lock on a target and then move out of line of sight and still TP Foe the target.
4. Move to a new level. Go up or down stairs or ramps seems to confuse the mob's agro ability. You can TP from a much close distance if you're at a different level than the mob.
5. Use snipe rules: Grabbing a foe that's away from the others or not being looked at by the other members of the spawn means that it's less likely the other mobs will notice the pull.
"You Can't Pull a Boss/EB/AV With TP Foe!"
Watch me: Thwunnnggg. <nothing happens> <wait> <Boss/EB/AV shows up> Attack!
"How did you do that?"
Easy:
1. Attempt to TP the Boss/EB/AV and there's a good chance that will create aggro.
Did you know that TP Foe creates a pseudo pet that, according to City of Data, does "20 Taunt to Target for 1 seconds (50% chance)"? {PvE only}
So, it might take a few attempts, but eventually you can land that 50% chance of taunt on that AV standing right next to a Nictus Cyst and separate them cleanly from a long distance away and out of the line of sight. I've used TP Foe to successfully pull Hro'Dtohz and the Honoree in the Lady Grey TF. And to pull Lord Recluse's lieutenants (AVs) in the Statesman Task Force.
Fun With TP Foe!
1. When you TP Foe a mob, you can queue up an attack while waiting for it to animate so that the moment the foe pops in, you're attacking. Air Superiority works great as well as a hold.
2. TP Foe can target the air. That's right, why give your foe the ground space it needs to start attacking back. TP the foe above you, so that as it's falling, you can attack.
3. Rooftop too small to TP a lieutenant away to deal with it solo? Then TP it *off* the rooftop. Let it fall and take damage and take time to get back to you as you clean up the rest of the spawn.

I have it on my Robo/Traps MM, and ooh boy, poor sap who gets ported!

How does one best AVOID it? Our SG does base raids and my wifes ill/strom toon is the first to get zapped away (cuz she is so dangerous to them). Other than popping sturdy, and kinetic support, any other advice?

When you're TP Foe'd, wait until you 'appear' by the one who TP'd you and hit Self Destruct.
That'll teach 'em.

I would like to further add that for stalkers, TP Foe can remove that ONE mob that is looking towards the target you REALLY want to take out.
I swear the game intentionally sets spawns up like that so everyone has someone looking at them. You remove mob #2, you can eliminate mob #1, wait for stealth to return, then take out mobs #4 and #5... at which point #6 sees you and you have to go toe to toe with ... 1 mob... all because the right mob is no longer watching.
TP Foe also works great with powers like Smoke and Flash Arrow - if you hit a group with that, first, you can pluck out pretty much any individual free from retaliation.
