Stalkers don't get either of the damage auras. They do get the two mez auras, which supress while you are hidden.
Oh snap, lol! Well I guess that answers that question then. Thanks!!!
The mez auras, particularly oppressive gloom, are incredible for a stalker ever since the change that makes them suppress when hidden. Let me explain why.
Stalkers excel at taking out single hard targets. In my experience, they are easily overwhelmed by large groups of minions. Oppressive Gloom allows you to get into the middle of an enemy group, assassinate your hard target and immediately stun all those angry minions. The minions are no longer a problem, and allow you to focus your efforts on quickly dropping and placate juggling the bosses/LTs.
Where to now?

But not after Placate. Mez aura is still active right after Placate. It's usually not a big deal because you can follow up with a quick attack but you can't set up Assassin Strike for sure because the two mez auras in /dark will interrupt you. |

The repulsion from Energy Aura works the same way but not Whirlwind from Super Speed. Whirlwind does not suppress. I've tested it out of boredom. LOL
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.
