Not to mention the Energy stalkers have a hold (whose genius idea was that?). And if you've ever gotten to duel a Stalker with them agreeing to not use hide, you know they're defenses can be slotted to make them a royal pain to fight.

How are you gonna ask a stalker to not use hide in an arena match, Stalkers' core power is hide, that is how their AT was built and works, there are ways around this ie Tactics, Drones, and ofcourse yellows. Asking him to not use hide is like asking a dom to not use holds or asking a corr to not use aim, or their core attack power.

_Castle_ suggested running backwards when you hear build up go off and while that may work, the way you have your volumes set and if the Stalker hits build up right behind you or just before he reaches you can stop his strategy.

Finally, I hope all those nerf stalker haters, read this the secret combination to avoid AS is actually hitting the buttons W, A, S, or D.
[ QUOTE ]
Most people say you need perception and to see them BEFORE AS goes off this is true. But what about if you don't want to or aren't able to take Leadership? Not every Blaster has a perception power and inspirations don't stay on forever.

Thats why there is an insp vendor in the pvp zones. And, thats why you group with someone which does have tactics.

So you're minding your own business, picking on the Corrupters and such when WHAM! you see the bid red letters spelling ASSASSIN STRIKE and your health turns red. The Stalker then follows up with his second attack and you're dead.

I prefer da tp foe bu ET placate AS, but only stalkers who know what they are doing do that. (this process varies from player to player)

Stalkers are squishy. Only 1 out of 10 are regen so 8 out of 10 will die (depends on how highly defense is slotted which is why Aim is a recommended power). If that didn't kill him use that End inspiration and quickly follow up with you're short range high damager and dance on his corpse!

Dont forget that the whole time u r a squishie too and that us EM stalkers have disorients n stuns and repels. thats just a minor reason, the main 1 is u won't hit us cuz of the very common /nin, /sr, /ea templates.(well atleast the ones where the player knows what hes doin heh =)

Like every Stalker strategy there are downsides and all seem to require Inspirations. This strategy also requires your being in Warburg and your nuke being recharged. This was done on a fire Blaster whose DoT damage was able to finish off some more resilient Stalkers so additional end and maybe acc insps may be needed to finish your foe. When Recluses Victory comes, Rise of the Pheonix will become a Stalker's nightmare if you slot for a nice disorient. Just remember one thing about Stalkers, if you can keep them from going back into hide, you can kill em.

ok hehe, my final critique, notice how the name of your guide is Killing Stalkers for Blasters Without Perception and using acc inspirations (i.e. yellows) buffs your +perceptions. But overall, I think that your guide isn't too bad, and its good to see someone trying to find a new approach to surviving against us stalkers. WTG bro =)
