Quote:I am using my psychic powers to know what toons you have. . . . OWAIT. Doc said I was psychotic, not psychic. Start with the toons u have, but in general, bring something, I'll taunt u and tam and run from tam.I'm extreamly noobish to arena pvp. In pocket d, you can bring whatever right? (hero or villian) Or does it have to be all one or the other... or even sides of each??
Basically, I'm asking what i should bring... whenever you guys do it again. I was tempted a time or two when you broadcasted about it over the last few days, but was in the middle of something and was unsure what it was or what i needed to bring... >.> -

Dahjee, come back to freedom. Nothing easier to kill then a traps corr.
They also taste like cardboard.
Jus'sayin. -

Is there a taunt suppression? Meaning specifically like mez suppression, it has never occured to me to look for it, but for reasons of certain idiocy I am now thinking of something revolving around it. If there is, what is the suppression? 15 secs?

Quote:It can be, all stalkers have the ability to do exceedingly well, if you don't play them like a scrapper or tank.so i was mistaken.
thank you for your help.
i got another question, ive got a 50 nin/nin stalk
ive only used him for pve, would he be good in pvp?
If you build a /nin, please, for the love of everything, don't "Conserve" your T9, use it all the time. Becuase of the squishi-ness of the set, you have 1-3 seconds before you are eating asphault.
Use Retsu. Alot.
Same goes for SR. -
Pick up spirit shark instead of water spout. Trust me, it's better.
Resilence does NOTHING in zone, in short, its garbage.
Drop fighting, same as resilence.
Pick up Tactics.
Heres an ultimatum, depending on the money you have available to you, you CAN drop staminia completely, and using fast healing for IOs (Numi and Miri) you can manage staminia-less-ness.
But, if you just want to put a little bit of money into it, try SS/Fit/Ldrship/conceal. -

I applaude dah, I sense the second comming of soul touch.

Quote:Yes it does, stalkers, even including sharks, are at an IMMEDIATE disadvantage to any pvp AT. It is quite that simple.Ok, while this is a very cute response, it doesn't in any way answer the question.
Why should it be possible for any AT to 2 shot a squishy, even a bad one? What does it add to PvP to make it better as a whole?
I agree there is a problem. Allowing a Stalker to 2 shot a target is not going to fix the problem.
2 Shotting wont hurt the system as it stands. 2 Shotting a bad squishy with a good stalker should happen, and the squishy will die in the same amount of time if the other person is on a dom; as surely will they die if the good player is on a corr.
Look at it this way, in pvp, stalkers are only really useful in 2's and 3's, but a team of a dom and pain dom, are more of a threat.
Stalkers are 1 trick ponies, the 1 lethal trick they have, is suddenly, not lethal to quite anything of comparable skill or wealth.
Stop arguing a dead point, you are quite wrong, I have numbers, agreement, and quite frankly, you have yet to once even attempt to defend that buffing stalkers WILL NOT be good for the system.
And if this is any sort of conclusion to draw on, as it stands, the only AT that stands to lose/gain, is a stalker. To be honest, stalkers need it, simply becuase you can't see it through the fractured mirror of your own reality, does mean it is not so. -

Some personal flavor things:
I prefer flash freeze to snow storm, the end cost and rather small utility of SS is trumped by the set bonus's from a fort hyp set in flash freeze.
I would drop total focus, for a reason that pertains to shout as well; you can do JUST as much damage IF NOT more from a LONGER range with shriek and scream chains. Total Focus, IMHO, is horrible.
If you MUST have a melee, I would rather bone smasher, becuase you have enough attacks that will root you long enough for you to make a sandwich. -
I luv nit picking posts out of context then attacking them.
However, my screen-door comment still holds true. Unfortunetly for you, I do not hold the cure to your mental disorders.
Quote:Might have something to do with the fact that there are stalkers in RV that skipped AS becuase they said sharks are better.I agree it's pretty much impossible, as it should be. So why should it be possible? What would that add to the game? Please, support you argument with in game numbers.
Also might have something to do with the fact that a stalker CANNOT kill anything of equal skill/value solo?
In-Game Numbers: BU + AS + Dark Blast vs a psy/em/cold. 952.
OMG GUYS I DID MORE THEN 900 DAMAGE IN 8 SECONDS, I AM OP. . . . I would have used ET, but the guy knows how to move in a game. I KNOW, MORE TRAVEL SUPPRESSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Quote:So somebody fighting a Blaster isn't capable of the same move/heal/phase/resist/not-have-downs that so vexes you as a Stalker? It's been a long time since I died to a Blaster in 6 seconds or less and that was only because he had 4 damage procs fire in his first 5 attacks. That's not gonna happen often.
Nope, but I gurantee a blaster solo is going to kill you alot faster then a solo stalker.
But, lets see how close I can get on a psy blaster.
BU+Aim+Psy Lance+Will Dom+TK Blast
looking at around 1k damage discounting procs, if the person is running a defense shield.
From Range.
Psy Damage. -

Quote:Support your arguement with numbers, now, define the numbers with their use in game.In what way does being capable of 2 shotting a squishy make it smarter? No AT should be able to do that. 3 shots, sure as that at least gives noobs a chance to survive for a few seconds. Increasing their damage makes AS the I Win button that so many people already feel they have.
I agree that something should be done about AS, as there are way too many bad Stalkers that can't manage to do more than spam Impale, but increasing the damage isn't the best way to do it.
Any stalker fighting a person of comparable skill that has a build of comparable wealth, WILL NOT get a two shot off. Ever. Even Post-I13, running a stalker with 55% global damage and oft-running reds, two shotting was near impossible becuase the target would move/heal/phase/resist/not-have-downs
The only reason I can see this, is watching Mr. Casual-Warshade walks in, stands still and get 2 shotted by someone with 3-4x the money put into the stalker.
But, lets compare, in order to two shot, we are looking at a minimum 6 seconds. In 6 seconds, a blaster can do the same. From a distance. And can repeat it again with less delay then a stalker.
So in all actuality, you're arguement is about as effective as a submarine with screen doors. -
To solve the problem of AS:
Upon entering a PvP zone, a hero gets the following macro put into every empty slot in their tray.
/Macro AS Prevention ++Forward$$++Up
This game is harrrrrrrrrd -
I got on virtue once, to sell a few pvp IOs to a friend. I happened to xfer my blaster. I come out of the base in RV, find a brute, stalker a MM and some trapper dude setting up in the dumpster by hero-base.
Trapper dies trying to tp me, MM stands there like an idiot. Brute fiteklubs a warshade under atlas.
VIRTUE IS HARDCORE YO.
