Illusion Stealth?

Do either of the powers in Illusion offer unsuppressed stealth?

According to Mids, they both Suppress on 'MissionObjectClick'. This is compared to Stealth, which supresses when you're attacked or hit, as well.

The defense values suppress on both of Illusion's invisibility powers if that's what you are asking.

Checking in game and testing them independently it looks like the Stealth Radius (Combat Attributes) do not suppress for either power, even when attacking or being attacked. This means you can attack one spawn while standing inside a second spawn and receive no aggro from the second spawn. In addition GIs threat reduction does not suppress when attacking or being attacked. I am not aware of other stealth powers behaving in the same manner and suspect these are characteristics unique to Illusion/.

The characters transparency may change but the actual stat does not change as stated in my previous post.

Its easy to test. Just pull up the Stealth Radius and Threat Stats up in the Combat Monitor. Now find two spawns relatively close to each other. They should be close to your level to test this not grey con spawns. Stand inside one spawn that doesn't have a perception bonus and attack the second spawn. The spawn you are standing in will not notice you. Only members of the attacked spawn will attack you as long as you only attack them an not the spawn you are standing in.

the grant invisibility gets a full surpression when the recipient of it is attacked and get hits, or attacks or clicks or what ever.

Superior invisibility supresses from full invisibility to stealth invisibility only.....that includes when clicking things....that is what it does....as per old patch notes from when it was made to do it this way will tell you.(thats when they made it superior)

However as many people will tell you some powers do not cause the superior invisibility to supress....like confusion......also sleep or summoning things doesnt supress it either...nor activating powers like group flight. Rezing a person does supress it to stealth....heal other does not.

dont know if this answers anyones questions or not....i have played this power set since day 1....i remember when the pool power Invisibility from the conceal ment pool actualy worked better then the illusion power.
