I managed to get my Nightwidow to level 50 when they came out but that's because primarily they play like a stalker anyways. :P

Yup, see Kant's post.

The Match 15 is arrogantly nicknamed Laura Croft pistols:


There's a bit of controversy on the use of actual muzzle breaks on guns, but as Kant pointed out it's primarily used for target practice sports where that little bit of recoil reduction can make all the difference.

YES! I miss Kosh! And you know the cool thing about Kosh... there are so many Kosh. [Cue: Smith's voice over for Vorlons] "Me, me, me, me... me too."

You mean Match 15s (Laura Croft's guns from the movie) that they discontinued. Though I believe the Match Elites are reverse engineered to fit the Compensator attachment. Truly nice weapons, more of a fan of the fantasy version portrayed in Splinter Cell of the Five Seven with compensators that doubled as suppressors.

Voltage is where it's at!

Yeah I don't classify that as drama. It's the tools made to make a story, plot methods. I'm all for that ****, the conflict and climax - hell yes.

Agreed. xD

I dunno, my understanding of Kheldians were that they themselves are a parasite which they require hosts in order to live.

Like the PPD having Kheldian officers, my understanding was that police officers who are decorated enough to handle the the merge; sign all that imaginary discloser stuff we never hear about, and then become the host. It doesn't necessarily have to mean the alter ego of your Kheld came from another planet as well.

-falls over upside down on the floor with his eyes covered in Xs- Ow... but... but... muscle toned women... in togas, and... loin cloths... coconut bras... wielding finely sharped swords and axes... -drools and twitches-

-salivates- Babes in skimpy clothing who know how to fight and hunt, I'm game!

You're lucky. Rikti Drones drive all my stalker toons nuts. Either you can't hit them or when you do it doesn't get the job done. Though *** help mostly but if you're fighting a yellow orange rikti drone solo... good luck wont help you. That and they see through your hide.

Spectral spirits can be nasty as well due to their PBAoEs, I really hate that. Going in for the kill only to get hit by 5 damage which not only bumps you out of hide but interrupted your AS making you vulnerble in the event you used a placate to get out of harms way. Though from my experience once you get your tier 9, things change a bit in terms of resistance to death, your survival can really sky rocket once you practice your build enough. I had people flipping out when I tanked the Rikti AV in one of those story arch missions in RWZ as a DB/SR... holly crap was I pressing buttons or what xD It was consistently weaken - dot -weaken - weaken - dot - Elude -weaken - Dot... on and on while I waited for the team to get back from hospitals.


Agreed for the Kheldians, they just never appealed to me. I think I got mine high enough for the ultra-craw-dad but pretty much stopped.

Defenders and Controllers for me suffer the same problem. They're all primarily support on teams, which is fine, but your more so watching your team's back than anything else (in the sense that if people start getting beat you're either rolling out the heals or holding hordes of mobs).

Yeah it feels too simplistic for me, like wise for Blasters but in a pseudo reverse kind of way, where you just run and stand there trying to piss everybody off so your team can be the mobile ones. Where as ranged classes or MMs, you're in the back lines just chewing hit points from the mobs at a distance. I fell in love with stalkers because they took the metagame of a scrapper and kind of made it more... intuitive in a sense. Because you can't tank as well as a scrapper and it requires positioning (<3 Placates).
