I dont think I would recommend any of those sets, for a stalker. They are all (mostly) resistance based, and defence is much better for a stalker I think. That said..with the AS changes, you dont HAVE to rely as much on the old placate + not getting hit + go through the AS animation. So I guess they could be more worthwhile now. I'd most likely say WP,

So this one won't be as elaborate, just the basics.

Macross Missile Massacre

Small wrist- and shouldermounted rocketlaunchers popping up and firing a swarm of micromissiles.

I was thinking maybe a cone attack doing fire damage and knock down.
3M - TV Tropes
example it's at 2:13

Da Bomb

Well, basically just this:


The character jumps in the air, pulls a big bomb out of hammerspace and slams it into the ground ->

PBAoE with self teleport like Spring Attack, doing energy damage and massive knock back...maybe blind any survivors.

What I suggest is play it now on beta. Make it, play it, get a feel, give feedback if u want, and help out.

You can team in beta too.

Now add that to Dark/ Control, which is a very very solid set that has all the tricks and tools to control except a sleep, but with a very very nasty fear, 3 pets which do gooood dmg together, a patch or placement area hold, a freaking wide wide area stun which recharges fast enough, and lots of -to hit debuffs.

You will PWN.

Roll it, try it, no matter what, solo or teaming, you will naturally feel some dark fun... (no pun intended).

Look, Dark/nature affinity

SS should have LESS of a gap between its performance for Tankers and Brutes, because Rage somewhat dilutes the effect of Fury (and this does match my own experience with the set).
Tanker Foot Stomp (95% damage enhancement + Rage): 63.17*(1+.95+.8)=173.7
Brute Foot Stomp (95% damage enhancement + Rage + 80 Fury): 59.22*(1+.95+.8+1.6)=257.6
Brute Foot Stomp does 48% more.
By comparison, Brute Whirling Smash does 71% more than Tanker Whirling Smash:
Tanker Whirling Smash (95% damage enhancement): 60.89*(1+.95)=118.7
Brute Whirling Smash (95% damage enhancement + 80 Fury): 57.08*(1+.95+1.6)=202.6

...which isn't to say that TW is bad on tanks, nor that SS is bad on brutes, or any such thing. And of course that exact ratio will not hold for different amounts of Fury, or if you use double Rage instead of single, or if you include Bruising, or et cetera. But the damage gap between Brute SS and Tanker SS is smaller than pretty much any other set they share, until the Tanker's lower damage cap comes into play (which, granted, it does for SS much more easily than other sets).

Dark/Nature Affinity will make you a SUPER debuffing/buffing/healing/Regen/Controls machine ALL IN ONE packg. Wait, young Jedi, just wait, the force WILL BE WITH YOU.

Go to beta, try it out.

I find the scenario in which you only got one crit over the span of an entire mission.....unlikely.

For my favorite content, I'm a big fan of the praetoria arcs (not FW and NW, the story lines when you begin in prae). I've done all 4 so many times, and I think they're just awesome. The story is good, most are fun to play (I love the Syndicate, so yay responsibility arc!). My Praetorian toons also feel a bit special when they leave Praetoria
The order would be something like

1. Power (loyalist)
2. Warden (resistance)
3. Responsibilty (loyalist)
4. Crusader (resistance)

I love the clone arcs both sides, and villain side I also enjoy Vincent Ross, when you choose someone else to help you and adds little side missions (also gives connected badge).


There's more, but that's all I can think off now ^^

Not sure what to think about this. I was a bit surprised when it was announced that The Hobbit would be two movies long, but three? I'll still watch all three movies, as I think Peter Jackson did a great job with the LOTR trilogy and winning 11 Oscars with a threequel is quite an achievement, but how the heck do you stretch The Hobbit over three films, even with the Appendix material?

Been wondering since its prolly next. Any leaks or speculation on what it could be?

Genesis to me means creation or life or something along those lines. So my best guess would be maybe a +HP max total or inherent +regen maybe stamina etc. Something to do with the green and blue bars, for self and or pets. Non-toggle.

One of my favorite Tanker moments was a wipe on the last phase of BAF (this was quite some time ago, when BAF failures weren't unheard of), with people coming back from the hospital in a continual trickle and being scythed down as quickly as they could arrive by 9CUs that had ramped way up. With a few purple inspirations, my Elec Armor energy resists, and a flurry of taunts and punches, I was able to gather most of the horrifically deadly 9CU aggro onto myself and get them bunched up long enough for the league to regroup and wipe them out, and we scraped out a win with less than a minute on the clock.

Such moments are less and less common these days, it seems. Chalk it up to power creep, more people knowing the trials, et cetera. If you really want to tank more than anything else, a Tanker is the way to go. Otherwise, Brutes are your AT.
