LOL! yeah I got bored of papers (after lvl33 they didnt give me much also consider thats my second stalker im bringing to 40 -.-) and warburg exp is awesome.

I agree in pve would help, but tbh with my EM/nin, I solo warburg missions at max rep in little time, AS one, ET other placate TF other Dont forget that devs made rest recharge fast! rest is a forgotten power..really.

I disagree with that in some respects, my builds are anything but standard and are not all rounders, they serve specific functions in specific situations. I prefer hardcore builds because they are inherantly compromised and have a huge in built achillies heel and its fun to play around such limitations

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah botty I know what you mean and even my builds are made with personal taste, but the point is after you choose primary and secondary you have 9 powers each to choose from.. that isnt a big choice. Specially if you consider the number of good primaries and secondaries...

Whats a memeber?

Intresting thread.. I think the OP is generally right, even if his vision went too far.
I think the point is...
This game got limits, limited number of useful skills, weird balance, just few sets are working others are totally gimps. buffs being too good, debuffs being worthless.

FOTMs in a sick way, standards.

There is NO art of makeing a build!! cos will be always similar to other builds.

No easy way to make a team build cos ppl tends to solo and play stuff which personally likes, so you cant tell to someone else to grind to lvl50 with a build you made.

And the fact I can fire a total focus while jumping 100 yards away from my target lol... (just an example)

But no reason to be sad, just play it for fun, this game is funny! Only sad thing is that this bad implemented pvp is changeing pve..
If you want a high competition pvp game go play Guildwars.. seriously.

The point is, if you want to scrap you need your elude (retsu 9tier) which gives more recovery than stamina or you want buffs , so you most likely get a speed boost.
So basically dont go for stamina (unless you use end hog toggles like fly constantly), a real stalker needs so many powers so stamina cant fit in.

Now I dont suggest you "Stun", cosider total focus is a better and 100% stun (80% chance to be mag4!), ET is a 80% chance, bone smash 50% and punch 30%.

of course tactics to hit is worthless, its just for +percept, and fear,confuse reduction.

Well, if you run whirlwind,assault,tactics,integr,quills,FA Im sure you will run out of end sometime, tho there is conserve if its a lvl40+ zone (as pvp not in game yet...unless arena), but If I pvp I will sure have a kinetic in team so that SB will keep me at max end for sure, if I solo in a pvp zone, needs some end management tho.

Just 1 thing , are you guys sure regen still needs stamina?

I have a spine/regen she can run SS,quills,sprint,integr + attacks and her endurance never drops...
QR is just awesome, and made me save 3 precious power slots.

oOOoOOOOoOOOoOOoo

uh? stalker must have : AS,placate,build up.. and whats that flurry? get hasten indeed, by the time you flurry someone you die...

stamina isnt necessary.

And damn your spines scappers yesterday! They helped me feel the tarmac love And I am sure I didnt deserve it....no, really.........well maybe just a little.

[/ QUOTE ]

I think it was me as well.. on Hero side

yup, was very fun and most of all no trash talking, like Im used to hear..
keep it up! I want my full set of 43 SOs

yep yep only in pvp is unresistable. in pve... meeeh stupid freaks or CoTs... Im MA so its smashing...

[ QUOTE ]
Just discovered the MA's AS only does smashing damage - the extra isn't "special" like I thought it was supposed to be. May be the reason I could only scratch the tanks in bloody bay yesterday .

[/ QUOTE ]

nooo, critical part cant be resisted (like all criticals), if it is than its a bug.
As for 1 shot.. yeah a tanker maybe 3 shot but still good

[ QUOTE ]
He has 4 attacks that drop toggles... I have ... brawl.
Total focus basically is a one-shot drop-all-toggles and a stun as a bonus.. He does about 20 times the damage that I can do to him. If Ed changes were not about PvP then I suggest the devs could get on with the actual PvP changes then..

[/ QUOTE ]

I really dunno why toggle droppers are still in game , really, are devs so intrested at seeing 1vs1 in arena?, cos in a team match I see no use at all and also now a controller can drop tanker toggles thanks to mez resistance nerf... They really only exist cos the possibility of doing FFA or 1vs1 and without a way to drop toggles in a FFA or 1vs1 tanker or scrap would be too powerful (maybe...) but FFA or 1vs1 is a blast forget about balance, wanna fight, ok , no, nothing, the real pvp is team pvp.

As for tanker use, I think tanker rox at pvp, 1 word "Taunt" Its almost powerful as terror, forget about attacks, just protect your weak teammates. And of course dont jump in the middle of a team with 2 controllers if you dont have mez resistance buffed Next time join us Hammerfall and Im sure you will find yourself really useful.

Can u tell me how many sappers u had around?

PWNED!!!

only blaster melee, and some defender (or control secondary) set can drop toggles, also I think kheld dwarf, and brawl.
Hand Clap will simply disorient all the squishie around you, not a scrap or a tank..
