Water Affinity - Barrier Reef

[BurtHutt]

I may have posted in the wrong spot but here goes. When a toon summons barrier reef, is it supposed to negate the stealth bonus after summoning and not in combat? It seems like you should get your stealth bonus back.... ?

Just tested on my MM and I didn't see that happening.  I always keep "Stealth (PvE)" monitored from combat attributes and it never went to 0 (while running the Stealth power).  I even went near a mob close enough to have them see the reef and attack and kill it and they ignored me (as long as I stayed far enough away not to get hit by stray AoE).

I never said it went to 0%. Before summoning Barrier, Stealth is at 15.42%. When I summon the Reef, Stealth drops to 3.85%. I am not attacking etc. Is this how it's supposed to play?

[Psyonico]

Do you mean the defense bonus?  because Stealth gives a lot more than 15.42% stealth bonus.

[BurtHutt]

Yes. On my Defender the Stealth total is %15.42. When I spawn the Reef, it drops. 

 

I guess it could be higher % depending on how it's slotted. My question is why do you become 'unstealthed' when you spawn Reef...

[Psyonico]

You're confligrating things and I think you're confusing people.

 

The power Stealth gives a bonus to stealth (55 feet in PvE) this is not slottable/enhanceable

 

It also gives defense (depending on AT modifier)

 

Both the stealth radius and the defense drop "in combat".  The stealth radius becomes 0 feet and the defense drops to that of what Combat Jumping or Hover provide.

 

It *sounds* like you're saying the defense bonus goes into "in combat" numbers, but you are saying its stealth is dropping.

 

The defense dropping would likely be because of this line in Stealth's data

 

source.EventTimeSince>CommandedPet > 10

 

There are also lines about dealing with pseudopets which might have something to do with it.
