How Does Stealth-Dog Compare To Stealth-Sentinel?

[[DE]Momaw]

So I was looking at my Shade recently and crying sadly for the good old days when Shade was actually really good.  Modern-day Shade has very unreliable cloak activation, a rather painful cooldown time between cloaking, and stops cloaking the second you move more than 10 meters away from an enemy.   I am wondering, how does the Huras compare in terms of mechanics and usefulness?

No comparison, Huras all the way.

 

EDIT: But especially so after an intense investment, the Kubrow mods will drain some hellacious resources including Forma, Cores, and a vast mountain of credits. Following after you'll notice where Sanctuary blocks two bullets while you're rezzing the Huras not only has already cloaked you or has knocked everything nearby it on it's @$$ (if not killed) depending on the order of the abilities you've slotted.

Currently, abilities can be used with Huras (stealth kubrow) without breaking the invisibility and in my personal experience, seems to use the ability a lot more frequently than the sentinel.

the cast times of the invis are a tad bit better if you put it in the first slot

if you want a cloak play loki or ash

Wasn't the question but okay lol. Valid point however.

Huras in my experience is VASTLY superior to Shade in terms of ability. I counted a total cloak time of at least 1min 30secs as long as your within a certain distance of an enemy (haven't been able to figure out the correct distance) and a cooldown of roughly 5secs. Huras IS the stealth companion to choose if want to sneak past enemies. He also makes rushing through captures stupidly easy as long you rush for the targets.

It should be easier with them, not exclusive to them, imo.

My kubrow kept me cloaked much longer and more often than Shade ever did.

Alright then. Thanks for the input fellow ninjas.  I'll put Huras on my task list for when kubrow overhauls arrive in 14.5

I thought Shade cloaked you indefinitely as long as an enemy was within its LoS... and if it decided to cloak you in the first place. In any case, it's enough to revive a teammate by yourself, or to run through a big crowd of enemies on your way to extraction/on the way to the other end of the room.

 

But yes, Shade's Ghost needs a fix. It's too unreliable to save you when you most need it, though when it does occur it's a blessing.

dog much better, cloaks me on solo missions for a long time

Only if there is an enemy within 10 meters.  Shade's cloak used to not have this limitation in his glory days, you may be working from really old memories.

Huras cloak has a much improved cast range as well.

Old days. I remember Shade recast invisibility when you stealth kill if target dies.
