Cutter Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm still going to have to pick up the actual Stealth power for effective full invis, right? @Cutter So many alts, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shazzie Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 You will need some other bonus to Stealth to have full Stealth, yes. The only travel power that gets you full Stealth with a +Stealth enhancement is Super Speed, due to its inherent Stealth bonus. As I write this, I'm wondering if a +Stealth enhancement in both Hover and another in a Sprint would stack to full Stealth? I'm not a number cruncher and I've never tried (I've only ever used Super Speed + enhancement to get full Stealth). @boggo2300 as to why someone would take Hover: it has none of Flight's penalties in combat, plus it can be slotted with Defense IOs and is a fantastic spot to mule such things as LotG +Recharge or Kismet +Accuracy, etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bopper Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I slot it in Sprint. Combined with stealth I get full invisibility. The Stealth IOs are treated as unique and mutually exclusive, so you can only slot one of them at a time. https://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Stealth_IOs Edited September 9, 2019 by Bopper 2 1 PPM Information Guide Survivability Tool Interface DoT Procs Guide Time Manipulation Guide Bopper Builds +HP/+Regen Proc Cheat Sheet Super Pack Drop Percentages Recharge Guide Base Empowerment: Temp Powers Bopper's Tools & Formulas Mids' Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeneki Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If the intent is to pass by enemies without drawing lots of attacks (for blitzing to the end of radio missions or whatever), I've had good luck with this as long as I keep moving and hover has a bit of speed slotted. Certain groups like Nemesis will still hurt though. If the intent is to stop right next to enemies, then unfortunately you'll need more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimPickens Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Like Bopper said above, stealth IO is much better placed in sprint for this purpose, leaving hover free for a def IO slotting. Rule of thumb for stealth combos: Stealth + stealth IO= invis to mobs Super speed + Stealth IO= invis to mobs Base grant invisibilty crafted buff + stealth Io = invis to mobs (while the buff lasts) Stealth IO alone= reduced threat range, but not invis where you can stand next to mobs and not be attacked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I dont take travel powers. I'll get Ninja run with sprint on to move quickly enough. I'll get jet pack to supplement my needs for temporary flight. I'll buy a void skiff if I need to fly somewhere PPM Information Guide Survivability Tool Interface DoT Procs Guide Time Manipulation Guide Bopper Builds +HP/+Regen Proc Cheat Sheet Super Pack Drop Percentages Recharge Guide Base Empowerment: Temp Powers Bopper's Tools & Formulas Mids' Reborn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
