Stealth Stalker

I was just wondering - Since stalkers rule PvP with theirhide , then have their reigns of terror ruined by tactics, it made me think. I read the text on hide and it said it can be combined with other concealment powers. Not only would a stalker using hide + stealth have more defence, but possibly be immune to tactics? If not, why not use Hide + stealth + superspeed? Can someone provide the facts?

I use all three skills. Although hide + stealth will make do for 98% of the time. It is possible to get detected, though that requires Tactics and some other +perception skills. That no many people have. With stealth and hide, you are pretty much safe from detection.

I detoggle SS though before I AS. Reason being having SS running slightly lowers your to hit chance.

Thanks Qima - been a great help. BTW, on my previous post, u mentioned the 4 attacks. WOuld you recommend getting Spine Burst and Barb Swipe - until i get Ripper that is?

You can always pick either one or both and then respec them away later on. Having them early will help leveling.

So I would recommend taking one or both and then respeccing around level 26 to replace them with ripper and other skills.

k cheers m8

This was changed a long time ago (the power is suppressed for 4 seconds instead). Also, Superspeed's stealth aspect doesn't work in PvP.

now .. pay attention class
Hide as we know makes you invisable to enemys but did you also know that extra stealth powers added reduce the range in which you are seen.
for example : player A with just hide can been seen by player B with tactics at a range of 800 yrds.
Player A turns on stealth so now player B has to be within 50 yrds to see player A.

Stealth powers reduce the range in which you can been seen so this means the heroes have to improve there perception.
Both perception and stealth have caps but the stealth cap will increase per villain level gained.

heres a perception and stealth guide on the american boards

btw SS stealth only works in PVE it was removed in PvP way back.
