Stalker Theorycrafting: No Hide

[Shred Monkey]

I can see the value in skipping hide if you're tight on powers.  But in most... well.. actually .. in all of my builds I have defense powers slapped in at the end as LoTG mules (or one of the other great 1-piece defense uniques) anyway, so I might as well take an endurance free defense boost that gives full stealth and lets me open with a crit.   I can certainly see delaying hide until later levels though, especially in a resist based toon.
