he was good with it . Don't think the secondary is that important though if you're just doing hit and run tactics. meaning hit then run as soon as you're visable.

It is. If you get slowed with DA you are dead meat. If you get slowed with Ninj or SR there is a change when you pop tier9. Or even if you avoid.

Roasties Claws/Dark is well nice :P

I bet that is the reason he deleted it.

Was messing around with Mids earlier and was looking at /dark for stalkers, and i found myself knowing hardly anything about it. We here lots in this forum about nin, sr and regen, very little about ea, and next to nothing about dark. So does anyone actually ever play it on stalkers to a high level? Anyone?

Anyone with some high level experience of /dark with whatever primary would be cool to hear about.

[/ QUOTE ]


Most stalkers nowdays are PvP specs. /Dark imo is really hard to handle in pvp. Its a really end heavy resistance based set which has a monster heal. Bad side of the heal is that it requires accuracy AND foes at close range. Which is not good for pvp. I have seen a spines/dark stalker in PvE and he did pretty good. No KB prot, res to psi, res to fear and a heal to the set. Also to mention AoE Fear, stun and a uber Rez which cant detoggle granites.

It is just my hatred for Stalkers talking.

[/ QUOTE ]

Never have quite understood why you say you hate stalkers so much, and yet are a constant in most stalker threads? Either you hate them cos youve never played one high enough to enjoy them, or you've just been ASd so many times they annoy you, or your just another person who likes to berate and ridicule what they dont understand.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is because after 50 levels of Claws / Regen, I felt like smashing my computer into tiny, unrecognisable pieces. I just hate them. It is my personal opinion really.

And yes I did roll a Hero and when PvPing VS a Stalker, anything that isn't a Stalker stays and fights, if a Stalker is taken out of Hide OR his / hers AS misses, they run for the hills. Another point that annoys me: they're cowards. And then this brings me back to why I hate my Stalker.

However, the above could just be my personal experience of watching other Stalkers run away with their Claws, Ninja Blades, Spines between their legs.

Me? A Troll? Nah-uh!

Cowards or not, they pwn you

[ QUOTE ]
Playing a stalker in pvp zones is the easiest thing this game can offer. If a whole team can get a kill on a stalker alone, that means the stalker sucks big time

A very cool style. Very different from the usual comic book drawing, and it definately adds something extra to the pic. Very cool.

The style reminds me of Samurai Jack cartoon, its very unique

I for sure will NOT be moving any toons from Defiant merely because, Union is named the 'Unofficial PvP server.'
Now let's face it, we all know Union is going to win any 'Unofficial Poll,' that is the result of this thread, merely because its PvPers, more regularly frequent the forums and post on topics like this. To be honest, I wouldn't want half the PvPers I have witnessed on Union to come over to my server anyway, if some freak act of nature made Defiant the winner in this 'poll.'
This will be yet another blow to the D, where the communinty is already suffering due to many, recently switched players. So I ask you this, if Union is getting all the PvPers from Defiant, can we have all your PvEers? Pretty Please? Didn't think so...

[/ QUOTE ]


Yes, get all the pvers away + RPers plx.

[ QUOTE ]
Because Stalkers are a PK Archetype and they are made for zonal pvp, that doesnt mean it requires zero skill to play.

[/ QUOTE ]

Umm... you sneak up on your enemy. Build Up + AS then follow up with Placate OR just use your powerfullest attack = Target Dead. Sounds pretty easy to me. Or is that because I have 1337 PvP skillz dat killz?

... nope. It's just easy.

[ QUOTE ]
Pretty much most of the things in arena would pwn a stalker. Maybe all of them require zero skill to play?

[/ QUOTE ]
And how would being in an Arena be a different? All that has changed is the fact you're confined to a small amount of space depending on the map. Also, I beat my friend's Spines / Dark Scrapper. Yes... that's Spines / Dark. FYI two PBAoE Damage Auras which removed Hide as I went close. I basically had to slug it out and this was before I properly Respec'd my Stalker. And the Spines / Dark player is a damn good player especially in PvP. So I guess since I pwned her, those other things which would "pwn a stalker" in an arena don't require zero skill to play.

[/ QUOTE ]



Simple. In arena your foe knows that you are coming.
And if you Sneak + BU + AS and kill that easy then your enemy is a nub for standing still. Decent player vs stalker in arena, Stalker -> dead (most of the times).

[ QUOTE ]
I find them rather low damage but that is just my opinion. And I did PvP with my Claws Stalker. It was fun. No challenge at all. Just sneak 'n' strike. Then I rolled a Hero and my hatred for Stalkers revealed itself.

Stalkers, in my opinion, require little or no skill to play when it comes to PvP. Well... frankly it's more of an AT for players new to PvP or just total noobs at PvP.

[/ QUOTE ]


Requires no skill in arena to play a stalker? Let me laugh. Because Stalkers are a PK Archetype and they are made for zonal pvp, that doesnt mean it requires zero skill to play. A /Devices would pwn a stalker rather easy. Zones or arena. Pretty much most of the things in arena would pwn a stalker. Maybe all of them require zero skill to play?

Well we'd want a set that actually has more than three attacks so I'd say Martial Arts or Spines.

[/ QUOTE ]

DM has 4 (5 including the heal)

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is the equivalent to Brawl.

Claws -> 4-5

[/ QUOTE ]

And Claws for PvP on a Stalker? Who's bright idea was that?


[/ QUOTE ]

For those who like challenge and know how to play

[/ QUOTE ]

Well considering my Claws / Regen Stalker is Level 50 I have to accept that compliment to the fullest! Thank you, Zaldor!

[/ QUOTE ]


Because you have a lvl 50 Claws that doesnt mean you can pvp with it too. And from what you say, i am sure you dont. And the point is Claws do great in pvp at their stalker version.

For advice I'd say reroll EM >.>

[/ QUOTE ]

If you want Easy Mode then this is the way to go.

However, if you actually like a challenge in PvP I'd say stick with the sets you have... or just not make a Stalker at all.

[/ QUOTE ]


Or, reroll to another set, other than EM and NB

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

One thing that did make me chuckle, the guy was moaning about getting his [censored] kicked playing as his Fire Tank and he comes out with this gem

[ QUOTE ]
Take any noob with just a basic understanding of PvP and put them behind the seat of your Mind/Fire Dom and they will destroy me on my Fire/EM Tank.


[/ QUOTE ]

I mean why mention fire?? The secondary that he, out of all of them, probably had the most chance against with his 60ish percent fire resist

Still, doms are so much better than they used to be, but cries for nerfs? It does make me laugh

I want a Mind/Fire dom Charizard style from pokemon! yo!

I think he means that PvP is already dead, and by moving servers we make it die more.

With the character transfer nearing i would like to see PvP community getting organised to finally move things up a bit.

I will direct Kerensky to this thread as well to have his input.

I would like to see a poll about the unofficial PvP server that will be cross-communicated across all 4 servers so we finally manage to get a move on and start jump starting the zones into action.

A similar poll was made in US as well posted by Ex-Libris herself so with character transfer so close now i think is pretty important to take similar action and start sorting ourselves out.If Kerensky agrees to it we could ask some help in communicating towards French and German players so we start gathering asap in one server for some fun and frolics rather than being scattered.

This is not a post about which server should but rather about having all PvPers gathered in one server where we could make CoX PvP liven up and flourish in EU as well and not force people going in US to have some fun.

I know there are language barriers and so on but hey fun is a universal thing no matter what just like love and we all now PvP is all about cuddling

Awesome idea. (Also buff PvP Server's XP x100 so i can lvl to 50 with 1 Hellion plx)

I agree, I have no interest in killing granites. And otherwise claws gets the job done to my liking. Nothing gives me more enjoyment then machinegunning focus from all directions

[/ QUOTE ]


Exactly, and claws can kill Granites with the right recharge on AS strike. Since granite is like perma unstoppable, you have to rely on AS which is unresisted.
