According to City of Data, it is 3.75% which does not suppress, and 3.75% which suppresses. So half, and pretty much the same as all other stealth powers. (In other words, negligible unless stacked with something else)

So 7.5% during stealth then... I find it stacks pretty well with Maneuver on Bane.

What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Widow's "Mask Presense" 1/3 does not suppress and 2/3 suppresses

Thanks, I didn't think to look at city of data.

I figured it was like normal stealth but wanted to make sure.. I am working up a soft cap bane build and didn't want to rely on non suppression numbers and end up with issues

Well, if you want to get technical...

For most meleers, Stealth is actually 3.75% total. It suppresses to half for 1.875%. So a Bane would be twice that.

For a Bane, though, Stealth is actually 5% total, suppressing to 2.5%. This is the same as it is for a Tanker. I wasn't paying close enough attention and thought it was 3.5%. So what I really meant was it's as strong as other stealth powers for a Bane. Actually, it's a bit stronger than that, although still fairly low.

I believe the only stealth powers that don't suppress to half are Mask Presence, Hide (which is 2/3 for everything else and 95% for AoE) and Cloak of Darkness, Group Invisibility, Steamy Mist, Shadow Fall, and Artic Fog, which do not suppress. If I missed anything then you can add those too.
