One solution is to give everyone who has a chance of being one or 2 shotted plus perception powers and a likelihood to dodge AS....

Or to increase blaster controller or defender health.Whatever takes the toggles off in pvp is just stupid though,if that's the so called "stealth nerf"

"We both know that's BS. If that were true I wouldn't have to take TP Foe to make my main somewhat useful in PvP (which I refuse to do). It's a nice thought, but you and I both know it's just lip service. "

No,it's a FACT that if a hero wants to see a stalker they would have to get tactics or some other +perception power.Unless ofcourse you should come across myself playing the way i do now, and i won't run away once you see me.

This kind of thing REALLY makes stalkers look bad.I was playing my scrapper in a pvp area with the IR goggles(because i can't afford to sacrifice powers to get tactics at lvl 34) and i spent close to 2 hours just flying around because the stalkers there would do nothing but hide and wait to use assassin strike.

That's so very embarrassing.Even after they had hit with it because i stopped for a second,they went right back to running away after i didn't die.

Does this make the game fun?If you have tons of fun running around,hiding,and hitting people when they aren't looking i hope you like being mugged in real life.

"Just wanted to laugh at that. Stalker really was "Easy Mode" for me. That's why I abandoned the AT. It just made every victory feel...cheap."

I really don't know if my other post got posted so i'll just say it's exactly what makes stalkers look bad.The guys who CAN'T win without AS are probably the guys who can't win without herding.

I play a stalker and i'm soooo far from being as defenseless as every stalker claims to be from what i've seen.Stop playing in such a cowardly fashion and not everyone will eventually have to suffer for your inability to fight properly.

I'm a stalker on virtue,and i don't think stalkers NEED to be as defensless without one hitting as most of them play.As a spines/regen stalker i'm constantly hit by AS,but instead of doing nothing after it hits i just activate dull pain and it's as if nothing happened.

What DOES annoy me is that every other stalker seems to use the hit and run method that everyone is complaining about.For example a stalker will AS me,i'll use dull pain and hit him back, and before you know it i've all but killed him and he runs again.After he gets some life, he comes back and it's just one big running and chasing match.

Like i said in another thread:Regen stalkers should get back quick recovery.The 3 powers you need to sacrifice in order to get stamina forces you to rely on only a couple of attacks,which can make AS a must.

The defense and perception some of the other sets get makes up for the lack of resilience,because i speak from personal experience when i say that they are extremely difficult to hit or one shot.

Stalkers are hardly defenseless,they CAN take on scrappers and blasters without AS,and the stalkers that rely solely on one or two shotting should stop playing that way before we all suffer.
