I play my stalker in pvp almost every day and i find it to be the most iritating thing that i can run up to someone hit them with ET and them be stuned hit placate while they are stuned and can't activate any powers and then they pop a break free and are able to attack me even though i have JUST placated them.. it wasn't always this way.. and it was much more enjoyable before.
Anyone who wants to tell me that this isn't an issue for stalkers because the "pwn hard enough as is" obviously has never played a stalker in a pvp zone .. placate is most definatly broken.. if it's working as intended then it's intended for it to be broken and to that i say </3
Also.. with the new blaster buff.. now you can stun a blaster with ET or BS (nrg transfer /bone smasher for you non EM ppl)
placate them imidiately and run up to AS them.. and they can simply hit a tire 2 power through stuned sense they can target you after being placated and break your hide.. anyone with a break free more or less has stalker protection suposeing they don't stand still in a pvp zone so as to alow a stalker to lead with assasin strike.
Yes I said it if a stalker kills you it's YOUR fault.
