Oh yeah, I remember why I didn't run /EA

Because I have to be invisible to leverage all my defense. I was looking over the revamped set thinking "This looks good, why haven't I played it?" Then in the game I found (again, since that's what turned me off the set previously) that you can't suppress the stealth FX like you can now for Dark Armor.

This might have something to do with why my SJ/EA, an otherwise perfectly exemplary character, goes largely unplayed anymore. At first the visible-in-combat thing seemed pretty nifty. Sometimes, though, you want to admire the spiffiness of your own costume design skills and shutting off a key defensive power for that purpose feels like a betrayal of a basic principle of scrapping. At least with stalkers hide comes with the territory. Speaking of, the other reason I don't play that anymore is due to the recognition that since I22, that combination is better in almost all ways on stalkers.
