Actually, a better solution might be to reduce the HP to 1% IF the attack on you takes over 50% or 75% of your total HP (or some value I can't do the math of to balance it out). This prevents being killed by AS after a couple of preliminary hits.

Ummm...thats a bad idea. I think you should die if they take you down to 50% and then use assassin strike.

My most recent favorite pvp moment:

The heroes are at the villain base in Warburg, basically schooling us since its 3 villains v 15 heroes. I turned on overload and did my thing, then I went into the hospital to wait for the crash.

As I'm in there, a MA/SR scrapper enters the hospital (dunno how he got past the drones), and sees me and starts swinging, missing me. I try to hit him, and he has elude on, hehe. As I start to leave the hospital, HE crashes from elude. I then proceed to Placate>BU>AS>ET>TF him, and he goes down. 5 seconds after he dies, I have my crash. I have to say that it was quite lucky.

I believe Assassin strike is 100% chance to drop 1, 40-50% chance to drop a second.

So Regen is as gimped as I thought.

Feel free to think that way man. If you mean PvP then fine, but the idea that it's gimp in PvE is just laughable. I know what I've done with mine, and I mean it when I say the idea of someone calling it gimp makes me laugh.

My highest lv villain is my lv 33 claws/reg stalker. I have no problem at all in pve or pvp. I do pretty good in pvp.

I really enjoy playing this char. I have no idea why everyone thinks regen is gimp. i played a /ninjitsu stalker in beta and the lack of def in low to mid levels (I only got to lv 26) was a pain. But maybe I like trying to scrap too much with my stalker.

I too have a claws/regen stalker, but I can tell you as far as pvp goes, /regen isn't the best. Not bad, but not the best.

I was that someone that sent the PM to Statesman. If I still had his reply, I'd post it here. He said it wasn't a bug, but a "feature." Either way. For those who don't know, Dull Pain prevents you from being knocked out of hide easily, during its time of activation. So, it's like click mez protection, but instead, knock-out-of-hide protection.

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually, Tenryuu, it was me you asked, and I apparently answered too quickly without actually understanding what you were asking.

I am sorry to say that my response was incorrect. This 'feature' as much as I personally like it, is really a fairly nasty systemic bug that we are fixing. Again, I'm sorry for giving you incorrect information. By the way, this bug can cause issues with Badges failing to be granted.

[/ QUOTE ]

So why does /regen have to be the most gimped then? All the other deffences have +def outside of hide to help them avoid being knocked out of placate... but /regen gets nothing, so anything more then one opponent and placate is ruined almost all the time. Doesn't seem fair to me, it's not like dull pain can be spammed or anything, it still is somewhat situational.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thats like asking why archery/fire blasters are the most gimped. There are sets that just plain suck.

And yea about the DP bug, I guess that just took what goodness regen had out as far as stalker combat goes. =\

Heh, I never noticed this with my claws/regen. With hasten this can be perma-hide/DP.

I hope they buff claws to godly level, that way I can dig him out of the closet and start playing him again. It seems the best pvp solo primary is EM.

The three entrances into the web are nowhere near the marker. Search the north side (near villain base), south west side and east side of the island. The entrances usually have rubble around them, like the hulk just smashed his way out.

I went on a 40 hour Anime binge, and I blame you!

Makes sence, Assassins USE POISON.


[/ QUOTE ]

Only the wimpy assassin's that put arsenic in your tea. Real Assassin's use sharp pointy objects and kill you in 1 hit. DoT? Whats that? I don't need no DoT.

Well, yeah. But hide stacks with pretty much every other stealth power out there, I think - or does it? I'm not really sure myself. Doh.

Concealment: Stealth and Cloak of Darkness are Mutually Exclusive.

I think you'll all be pleased with Dark/Dark for Stalkers.

[/ QUOTE ]

Pleased????? Hehehe, I guess this means a bunch of heroes WON'T be pleased.

I personally am betting that CoD is going out the window and being replaced by hide, just like Energy Cloak was scrapped for hide.

So then, its official. We're getting Dark Armor and Dark Melee in I7. What does this mean?

I don't know about you, but I think cloak of fear will be awesome (assuming we get it, and it doesn't disappear like quick regen did).

Here

Yep, thats how it works. However, it might be that the other two npcs are hitting you after you placated, so you are not in hidden status anymore. In general, people placate when there's just one npc left, so there's no chance of getting put out of hide.

You can get a critical on an enemy that is not placated. As long as YOU are hidden, you can get a crit off of anyone.

I've never had this happen to me, but try using the /stuck command. Sounds like an opportunity to use it.

We're in no way overpowered. When I play as a hero, I play as my energy blaster. Got TD and tactics running, sometimes IR goggles. When a stalker get close enough to AS me, I pretend I don't see him and wait for him to start his animation. Then I just drop my nukes on him, resulting in him dying or running.

And playing as a stalker, I find this situation to be very frustrating. So, its definately rock, paper, scissors. We're good against some, terrible against others.
