well considering most prepare for stalker AS left and right, they would probably see you. I always wondered if it's possible to get to stalker-syle stealth without hide?
Stealth cap for non-Stalker ATs is 571 feet, for VEATs is 852 feet, and for Stalkers is 1142 feet. In other words if you're at the stealth cap on one of the "regular" ATs you will have slightly better stealth than a Stalker using hide alone. A VEAT cannot hit their stealth cap solo (500 from Cloaking Device or Mask Presence on a Bane or Fort/NW respectively and another 300 from a stealth IO leaves 52 feet to make up), and every other AT can with two stacked forms of stealth (in-set or pool +stealth power plus a stealth IO). Getting stealth cap on a non-Stalker AT is handy, yes, but it shouldn't be a primary goal as most things will see you from a respectable distance assuming they've got the +percep IO, possibly tactics, and then team buffs as well.

Superior Invisibility will cap you at 571ft on it's own so the other 2 stealths would be pointless. So anyone with tactics + IO would see you easily enough.
And no Beyeajus, it's not possible.

which is stupid because for ill sup invis is supposed to b 1000 feet...(cough give heroes better levels of stealth k thx). there is literally no reason to take sup invis other than it comes up faster than stealth (if your not using the slots for io bonuses or kb). It would make sense that a superior invis would be better than invis huh?..

Superior Invisibility is better than pool power invisibility in that you can attack while using it, unlike regular invis.

That is meaningless considering it completely suppresses when you attack. It's no different from just using normal invis and just toggling it off before attacking. Doesn't sound superior to me.

It isn't suppressed while you attacking. I can stand in the middle of one spawn while attacking another, and spawn i'm standing in will completely ignore me unless I somehow aggroed them. It is only suppressed when you are interacting with glowie.

In pvp, which is what this forum is about, it supresses when the controller uses any attack powers. It is completly worthless since stealth and the stealth io will give you stealth cap and use less end.

I have an Illusion/Therm troller almost to 50. Stealth is still an aspect I'm unfamiliar with. I was wondering how hard it would be for villains to see me in PVP with Superior Invisibility + Group Invisibility + Stealth IO running?
