Critical chance for Storm Kick and Eagles Claw?

So a stalker's base critical chance is 10% when not in hide, right? Storm Kick (the scrapper version) has a 5% extra chance to critical. The stalker description says it also has a greater than average chance of critical. Does that mean Stalker Storm Kick has a 15% crit chance?

Eagles Claw is 15%. Is that added to the 10% base to make it 25%? Or flat 15%?

As far as I know, the Stalker versions don't have any increased chance to critical - it's just the Scrapper versions.

Basically, I think the scaling critical chance is applied universally, and not modified by aspects of the power. It sucks for MA, but it makes sets with AoEs a lot nicer, since the chance for the AoE critical is the same as a single-target critical instead of half.

Eagle Claw used to have the 15% to critical out of hidden status (and could double critical from hidden status) but I think that changed with the Stalker buff - it's still listed, but at a 0% chance. You can still get the double critical on any Stalker attack using Placate if the out-of-hidden chance goes off while Placate's "hidden status" is active.

I haven't done thorough testing on it, though - I have nothing more to back up these statements than rumormongering and gossip (which often carries more weight than facts around here!).

I would hope that MA actually does have the bonus crit chances since the set seems to be lagging a little behind other stalker sets. It would be the unique perk of playing MA.
