The closest you can see a stealth capped Stalker on any toon besides a VEAT is 10 feet, and that's only if you are completely Perception capped, although it sounds like you know this. 10 feet is not far at all, you might see a Stalker come into view if you are literally right next to them, in close melee range. Caltrops and Water Spout also don't take Stalkers out of hide as far as I know, he probably just got lucky and happened to hit you with those since they don't have a tohit check.|

Perception is +10 to Stealth, meaning there is no more absolute invisibility, so wtf?? I was close enough to a Stalker the other day for him to throw his Caltrops at me, but I never could see him, even while taking damage from his Caltrops and Water Spout...I feel like I should call BS, but I am open to possibly missing something...

It's unlikely that you will see Stalkers on a perception capped non-VEAT toon on purpose, though it does happen on accident sometimes.

My **** is bleeding.

Caltrops does make you targetable at least, not really breaking Hide, anything that causes damage will. But I just don't get how they can see me....unless they were just getting lucky by hitting me with caltrops...??

stalker stealth is odd because you can usually see them from a far if they are standing and they drop closer to targeting (the coming in and out of far range view). if you are not aware of this a players sees you standing from afar comes in with caltrops ready and throws to the area - also keep in mind things than lower your stealth cap - like rotc if your near a wp with it..for example. It could just have been a matter of you having your stealth dropped and not knowing it.
