Mask Presence Now Stacks With Stealth

[Mythical Creature]

It seems that mask presence now stacks with stealth. What are the implications of this for VEATs? Before only stalkers could stack hide with stealth but saw minimal benefit because it was overkill. As far as I can tell (mids doesn't allow stacking yet) this should get us roughly 105 feet of stealth. In comparison, Hide on a stalker offers 150 feet of stealth, so not quite the same but much closer than anyone else (apart from illusions). 

 

I will admit the stealth is a bit of a confusing stat to me, will this be enough stealth to allow us to walk up to an enemy and critical strike them without being seen? It seems we are now in a middle zone between stealth and hide. Trying to determine if it is worth it to respec into stealth from something else like CJ. 

 

Thoughts?

I did note my Widow that also has Celerity: Stealth gets up to 85' which seems good enough to walk around the hive without agro.

oh nice, if the celerity stealth proc grants another 30 feet of stealth I think that brings VEATs to a possibility of 135 feet radius (15 shy of hide) with the combo of mask presence, stealth, and stealth proc.
