Watched the link. Have to say, it's only after watching that, that I'm interrested in seeing it.

Before I was pretty meh on it. Now I'm all "okay, I want to see it".

Well first off, my playstyle on my Stalker may be different than others (if not the majority of others).

How I played them before the buffs, and how I played them after the buffs is pretty much the same. I play them as a Scrapper who comes in with a promised big hit, then scrap it out.

When on teams, I won't always be re-hidden by the time I get to the next mob, but I do tend to have the defense that I can placate then take out a speciic target (sapper) or take out a big chunk of a specific targets health (boss).

I wouldn't change Hide to an inherent power. Seems like a lot of work. And having an inherent power like Hide, that grants all that defense might be a bit OPed.

I'd increase the damage mod to Scrapper levels. So Smite would do the same damage ona stalker that it does on a scrapper.

This would increase the damage of Assassin Strike.

I want to say increase the +damage mods to power like Build Up to 100% like Scrappers, but I think this would get nixed because of PvP personally.

Now for solo play, the only difference in survivability between a Brute and Scrapper is hit points, with the Scrapper doing a bit more damage to kill the enemy before they kill them, needed much more than Brutes who can take the hits a bit faster but still finish the enemies fairly fast.

Now, Stalkers will have the added benefit of shredding aggro versus one target with due to Placate, but that only goes so far in added survivability.

My thought, increase the max hit points to around 1800.

Currently...Brutes have roughly 803 more max hit points than scrappers, who have 803 more max hit points than stalkers.

Now tankers only have roughly 321 more max hit points than Brutes (according to paragonwiki, which I'm not sure accounts for the recent buff to Tanker's max hit points).

So, if we go with roughly 321 less than Scrappers for max hit points, that would say go to about 2088 hit point cap.

But I think that's likely to much. With the increase in damage mod, the stalker (with the use of AS) will have the better burst damage capabilities for sure, and might edge out scrappers on DPS (though most Scrappers will do more AOE damage), if not edge them out on DPS, it should be alot closer than it seems to be now to quite possibly say Stalkers give up the survivability edge for that added burst.

Playing my stalker now, who knows, maybe the increase in damage mod with the burst damage capabilities might make up for lower survivability they currently have.

Personally, I think and increase in max hit points would still be okay without breaking them, as no matter what, they'll still be seeing less HP than their Scrapper counter parts in the hit points department.

My DB/WP Scrapper will still have way more HP than my KIN/WP Stalker can manage to get, since the scrapper has a higher hit point base.

This will also allow Stalkers with IOs to make more use out of the +Health set bonuses (something my stalker finds to be just a waste of a set bonuses...HPT with +Health Accolades).

I believe Regen Scrappers see the same problem with Dull Pain. And going into mids, I didn't find it to hard to reach the hit point cap on a /SR stalker using Accolades and a few +HP set bonuses.

So an increase to 1800 max hit points (or up to 2000) doesn't seem to out of line, and still going to keep the Stalker relying on taking less hits (much like a /SR Scrapper who's going to be a bit over 1700 hit points when Accolades/+HP is taken into account.

Sooo...from my own playing experience...

Increased Damage Mod and Increase in Max HP.

I'd also like the idea of Hidden equals 100% for ALL attacks, while this won't do much for Martial Arts or Energy Melee, as they have no AOEs to speak of, I always thought it should of been a feature of Hide to begin with (for lightning rod this may or may not be a problem, but I don't recall if it can even crit to begin with).

This is all from my own play experience and my own playstyle mind you (ie...sneak sneak BOOM scrap it out!). So what I see as a good idea may not go over well in the majority of other stalker playstyles.

Is it just me?

Everytime I see who they chose for the new Peter Park/Spider-Man, the more I keep hoping they have very little Peter Parker time, and much more Spider-Man with leaving the mask on.

truthfully, I have no problem with the Super Boosters.

For some of the more complex sets, I'm okay with it.

However, what disappoints me with them, is it seems to me, that we're not getting enough of the more simpler/generic costumes ideas implemented, for one reason or another, and part seems to be "oh we have this cool fancy idea" that in the end, is harder to match up with anything but the rest of the set.

One of my suggestions for Organic Armor, was to have a non-scaley version, that could keep the glow parts, but the "tight" parts could mesh more with the Tight/Shiney Tight bottoms.

So it would look less like skin, and more like part of the outfit.

Also, Disco (with skin option for females) having it's bikini part of the Disco option, turned into a Bikini option that blends into the Tight Top (or the various with skin options), would be great, and while I could be wrong, would seem to be an easy add in.

Ie...I want the Bikini bottom, with the leg coverings, without being a full skin covering (part of the leg with show).

Or Padded Gloves (and even Fingerless gloves), that has a tight option that covers the forearms, so the sleeves of Tight Top or Belly Tee Long (and other such pieces) don't stop at the elbows.

And a sleeveless Trench coat option, that will allow me to use other gloves (like Banded Gloves option) would be nice.

Basically, I want to see some more generic options thrown in every now and again while I continue to buy these costume boosters combos.
