Check the real numbers to see how much stealth a particular power grants in PvP.
For non-stalker AT's, the stealth cap is 571 (VEATs cap at around 871). Base player perception is 500, so even at the cap, any AT could see a blaster with even minor perception buffs. I believe the smallest buff to perception gives around 190 feet, so add that to your base 500 and you have 690 perception. Subtract the amount of stealth any given target has (we'll say 571 for this example), and you're left with 119 in perception, which is the number of feet you can be seen from.
The safe way to play it is to assume you can ALWAYS be seen. Even on a stalker at the stealth cap, you can still be seen within 10 feet if the other person is at the perception cap.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
Ah super thanks... oh and what figure is perception cap btw ?
Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.
1153 (a bit higher for VEATs). Stalker stealth cap is 1143.

ok cool thanks again....
Now im looking all over mids for the part that tells you what your perception is... i can only find a wee bit in the resitance list to say you have x% perception res.
Where does it tell you the ft of perception you have??

Mids doesn't give you perception numbers.

Could someone please explain simply, how you work out the ft etc, that perception and stealth work??
For example, a blaster with Cloaking device and Stealth IO can be seen by a stalker with tactics and perception IO at what distance in pvp etc etc....
How do i know when i am visible?
