watch your combat monitor. Half the value is suppressed for attacked/attacking.
According to Mids, Cloaking Device has a 3.75% defense buff all the time as well as a 3.75% defense buff that is suppressed when you are attacked or when you click a glowie.

In my first test, I simply had the window up and was looking at the Defense numbers as I went and attacked someone. The numbers didn't change at all.
After these responses, I tried adding my positional defense numbers to the combat monitor. Within there, the numbers did change when I attacked.
Thanks for pointing this out!

I've been working on a Soldier > Bane build and have noticed something odd in the numbers for Cloaking Device. Upon activation (un-slotted), I see in all my positional defenses that I have two entries for Cloaking Device, both at 3.75% defense via the attribute monitor. I checked the detailed information in-game for the power and low and behold and it has two seemingly identical entries for all positions and typed defenses, essentially doubling the defense numbers.
I thought perhaps this was unsurpressed defense only when Hidden, so I went and attacked something to see if it disappeared. Nope, still there even when un-hidden and attacking.
So, is this correct? What's the explanation for this one?
