No, like I mentioned in my post after yours, it requires the loss of 3 minute uberness. 
[/ QUOTE ]
I forgot about that - how DA has no button of uberness (or intended uberness) like all the other secondaries.
That does make a big difference.

Fine you can keep CoD, but it doesn't stack with Stealth so there.

I actually think this would be a cool direction to take.

Though I do agree with double daggers...why not something better? Maybe dual kunai (a dagger ninjas use, is able to be thrown and used in close combat) that seems much cooler.
[/ QUOTE ]
Probably because Kunai are virtually useless outside of anime. They're daggers, but also not. They weren't originally weapons and were only used as such by people who couldn't afford them. They were blunt, unless sharpened for the purpose of using it as a cheap weapon.
I want my next stalker to have a Rikti Blade. =]

_Castle_, weren't you the one to ask for "new" Stalker sets? (i.e. the psychic-dagger set)
[/ QUOTE ]
The most popular requests seemed to be:
- Dual Daggers
- Psychic Melee
- Bo/Staffs
- Sais
Even though those last two are horrendously NOT Stalker-like.

And as for mental melee, I am all for it, but no feeking psi daggers!! sheesh I am amazed at how many ppl have said this, do u want NC to be sued my Marvel again? Why not something kooler like...psionic tendrils or something olong those lines. I am all for new stalker sets but sais and bo/quarter staffs can be given to the scrappers in my opinion.
PS: they better change some of the animation and powers fo DM/DA or im gonna be pissed.
[/ QUOTE ]I so want dual kunai, but I would settle for dual daggers. I think we are lucky to have what asian items, and powersets that we do have.
Come on devs, art guys, where is my Maid costume for my characters! 5 years now, its a simple request.
I suspect that Cloak of Darkness will be removed to make room for Hide. Still, I never pictured DA as a Stalker set. I wonder how this will turn out.
Well, with the time they've had and the recent outcries/suggestions people have been making about EM, all I want to say is don't expect DM to be something on the level of EM. In case you've never seen DM in action or PvP, it hits, hard, REALLY damn hard. So I'm sure it's damage output will be reduced. DA isn't bad except for it's 2 status cloaks being somewhat odd for a Stalker to be sporting around, but otherwise I think it'd be a solid set. And I pray that they add some other kind of lvl 38 power to it instead of Soul Transfer, oy.
I can't believe they did this. I mean,people complain about stalkers being over powered and then they have a power like this...:S
Picture a stalker ASing someone,using touch of fear,then doing it again....wow.Picture ninjas who are already impossible to hit reducing your accuracy everytime they hit you...wow.
I was almost going to suggest that DM scrappers get a chance to reduce perception with their hits since it surrounds the opponent in darkness and reduces accuracy.That seems like a bad idea now..
I'm predicting a million complaints,you heard it here first.

DM doesn't even come close to energy melee when it comes to hitting really hard. It'll simply have its damage scale changed from 112.5 (scrappers) to .9 (stalkers).
If they give stalkers a better 9th tier power than soul transfer, though, they damned well better give it to scrappers and brutes as well.

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

Okay, what I don't get: How is Touch of Fear any worse than Cobra Strike or Stun, or...heck...Total Focus? I mean, when it comes to mezzing attacks?
[/ QUOTE ]
ToF is much, much, better than those attacks, if not just for the -ACC.

Why does no one ask for a Scythe? Come on, being a grim reaper-esque entity is VERY Stalker-ish.

So, what Castle is saying is... PvPers will be able to get their stacking Stealth from Cloak of Darkness, rather than open the Concealment pool for Stealth.
And, if you do go for Stealth, it wouldn't stack with CoD...
So... Yay! No more necessary Concealment pool! (At least for DA).
Care to now expand on all of the toggles of DA, Castle? Death Shroud, Oppressive Gloom, Cloak of Fear?
C'mon!
Thanks for eight fun years, Paragon.

Pleased????? Hehehe, I guess this means a bunch of heroes WON'T be pleased.
It kind of makes me dissappointed. Stalkers now have the same sets as scrappers. Plus added ones. The only thing they are missing is Broadsword/inv.
And they gave Scrappers nothing to make up for it. So now Stalkers have 2 sets Scrappers don't have access to.
They gave Tanks nothing.
What I would have liked to see was a toxin set for Stalkers. Something with lots of DoT, a built in DeBuff, and with low-but not poor initial damage. Makes sence, Assassins USE POISON.
I'm hoping this is only a temporary thing, with CoV being new, and that CoH AT's will get some love in I8.

All your gonna do is just farm behemoths anyways.

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.
whatever. You're the [censored] that got me addicted to Bleach!
I went on a 40 hour Anime binge, and I blame you!
...not using toxins my censored...

As we hashed out a couple pages ago about CoD... that just means they keep Soul Transfer... HAHA!

I personally would love a Scythe powerset.
my build that i made on the beta board (that was erased), had taken CoF and made it a 9th teir power.... and basicly, it was closer to ninja than the EA-ish builds mentioned.
the red name that posted the problems for the scrapper to stalker conversion. So i kinda just went with his format (heh heh heh, i had red help ;p), toggles pbaoes were the probs he pointed out. So i turned them to clicks and utilities.
then his post and mine were gone within 5 minutes.
[ QUOTE ]
But it wouldnt require DA stalkers to delve into the stealth pool to achieve the same effect every other stalker has in PvP solo.
[/ QUOTE ]
You're right, and that would be the point of leaving it in the set. After all, other sets have powers that make certain power pools less necessary. I don't think it's a guarantee that they'll leave CoD in, although I bet they seriously considered it, and I don't think it's a guarantee that they'll take it out, either.
Also, lacking information != stupid.
