Stealth proc quick question

Hey guys, I know that when stalker reveals himself, his stealth is suppressed which means he can easily be seen by nearby mobs.

What if I put a stealth IO in combat jumping? My Fort and Blaster have it in Hover and it helps greatly to reduce aggro.

Does Stalker's suppressed stealth make stealth IO useless?


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.

In PvE a stealth proc is completely useless for a Stalker. The stealth from it suppresses in every case where Hide would be suppressed, and anything in PvE that can see you through Hide ignores any level of stealth that you have stacked.

The only instance where a Stalker sees any benefit from slotting a stealth IO is in PvP.

Blah.. sucks.

Thanks for the answer. I had a feeling the -suppression may suppress all kinds of stealth but I was hoping stealth proc works differently from an actual power.

City of Data has links for all of the procs, so you can see what they do.

Links:
Celerity
Freebird
Time & Space Manipulation
Unbound Leap

If you hover over the hourglass icons on the right, a tooltip pops up that explains the suppression. It's just a quick way to look things up if you're not sure about things.

So, if you are in hide, and add a stealth proc ... the knives and the Rikti drones can still see you as you ninja run by?

Yep. So can Rularuu Overseers. Those mobs are some of the few uses for Placate... except that they show up in groups most of the time.

All the more reason WHY I'm looking forward to i22 w/ being able to use Assassins blades (for duel blades! Outside of hide for rikti drones, ralaruu, Mercs.... Etc that see through stealth/hide
