Stealth/Meteor bugged?

[Ukase]

Simply put, when my Seismic blast/Earth Manipulation blaster uses Meteor, my combat attributes for stealth remain unchanged, remaining at 65 ft. (with SS toggled on, and Celerity: Stealth in Sprint, also toggled on) 

The mission I'm in, given by Gordon Bower, "Rescue Trapped Citizens". Typically after a rescue, the Fir Bolg will send an ambush at me. And that's happening, but they just stand near me (still stealthed) and don't hit or do anything. I double checked - I don't have the sg base empowerment stealth, so not sure why the stealth is remaining on, or why they aren't attacking me, just circling around my avatar. 

I do have Mud Bath toggled off. 

Next mission, "Lay All Ghosts to Rest", Mud Bath is toggled on, as are SS, Sprint. Use meteor, still remain stealthed to 65ft. 

Figured I should add that other attacks do break stealth.

Point out, that Meteor is a Ranged (Location AOE) with rest of seismic being targeted. 

Think that is why stealth aspect isnt supressed. Shatter is a single target ranged attack, you pick and select a target, hit it, and the target takes x damage. Game knows, you hit someone.

When its a location AOE, you have summoned an effect, which is why I believe the stealth wont be suppressed, the game seperates you and the ability. The ability deals damage on your behalf, such as pet. This make sense?

Interesting. Not complaining by any stretch. I guess it's kind of like calling in a missile strike - it comes from the sky, not me, so my location isn't given away. 
But blizzard, ice storm, rain of fire - those are all targeted AoE and stealth is broken when I use those. This seems inconsistent.

Targeted is the word. Targeted powers = supressed stealth, non targeted = stealth not supressed.

Using Meteor does not put your character into combat, so your stealth doesn't suppress. Watch your power icons — Tombstone (the powerset's Snipe attack) doesn't grow the yellow 'in combat' ring to indicate that it's switched over to the in-combat fast snipers when you use Meteor.

Was sentinel using Cat5, didnt put character into combat, neither for PB with photon seekers.
