Stone Armor
Overview
Stone Armor is a standard power set that is a primary set for Tankers and a secondary set for Brutes, Scrappers, Sentinels, and Stalkers.
"You can transform your skin into various forms of rock and stone. Stone Armor is one of the only Defensive Power Sets that offers defense to Psionics. Stone Armor offers amazing Defense, but a few Stone Armors are mutually exclusive to each other. Some Armors, although offering superior defense, also slow you down due to its enormous bulk."

Hide
Hide makes you almost impossible to detect. When properly 'Hidden', a Stalker can pull off Critical hits with his attacks, and even land a massive 'Assassins Strike' with an Assassins power. When you attack or are damaged while using this power, you will be discovered. Even if discovered, you are hard to see and retain some bonus to Defense. Unlike most stealth powers, Hide can be used at the same time as other Concealment powers, giving you even greater stealth capability. No Endurance cost.
