Superior Invisibility/Arctic Fog

My Ill/Cold finally hit 50 so I'm looking into respec'ing her to set her up for the avalanche of IOs she's about to receive. I love Superior Invisibility on my Ill/Rad, so I was considering using it on her as well but there's that thing about SI not working with Arctic Fog. My question is WHAT doesn't work? Does SI toggle off if you turn on AF and vice versa? I sort of took it to mean that the stealth of each power won't stack- which is fine. However, if I can have the stealth of SI and the defenses/resistances of AF then it's worth it to me. If the powers simply cannot be run simultaneously, then I'll need to rethink this.

If you toggle one on whilst the other is running, it will toggle off the first one. AA+SS+ a stealth proc all together is less stealth than SI. That said, I don't use SI because I like AA. For the group buff.

As the poster above said, you cannot use both powers at the same time. Turning on Arctic Fog while SI is running will turn off SI, and vice versa. AF+ either a stealth proc or Super Speed will hit the Stealth cap. SI alone is well over the stealth cap, so you can avoid being seen by foes with high perception for longer. But for most of the game, AF+Super Speed provides just as much invisibility as Superior Invis.

I dropped both SI and GI on my Ill/Cold by using Arctic Fog + Super Speed. Cold has enough places for a LotG Recharge that I felt that SI and GI can be skipped.

Curses. I was afraid of that. Ah well, thanks for the replies.
