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.
[/ QUOTE ]
Oh, really?
Let me know when you manage to shut off toggles with fear effects, or manage to keep a Tsoo sorcerer from teleporting away, okay?

As far as Dark Melee for Stalkers, I believe Dark consumption or Touch for Fear will Either Be Removed for The AS. if DC stays it would most likely be Changed to a Personal End Discount power Similar to Conserve power...But I'm Guessing it goes over ToF.
And for Dark Armor, Clock of Darkness will be Changed to Hide. Similar to how Brute got the same Energy Clock in there set as the Stalker Hide. I'll be Curious to see what is Done with Dark Regen & Death Shroud

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

Because it wouldn't work on female characters, they know hopscotch! Cake or Death!

I'm not sure if that's a joke or a sexist remark.. LOL.. anyway.. Scythes would totally work for female characters.. what are you talking about man.. I imagine a Lady Death-type character holding a Scythe..
Or shall I say.. Sailor Saturn.. eh? any Sailor Moon (season 3 or 5) fans? eh? well.. technically it was a Glaive.. but it's close enough..

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.
[/ QUOTE ]
I'm holding out for swapping Death Shroud for Hide. 
I like the idea of a set that can stack hide + stealth within itself, though.

One of the reasons I'd like to keep CoD in DA for stalkers, btw, is its +Perception.

You found an Ice tanker high enough to have FA?
Liar.
[ QUOTE ]
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.
[/ QUOTE ]
So far that appears to be true. It has been posted (was it by Cuppa?) not I7 is still months off. Not everything added was posted on the sneak peak. Be patient for the full issue notes come out.

So the question is: will oppressive gloom cancel your hide like Moment of Glory does?

It's because it has a 20% accuracy buff, and let's you keep a Boss perma-Feared with one power while you kill his little elfin helpers.
Cobra can drop toggles and stop porters, but there's no way ya can keep it perm on a Boss. 
I've tried.

I would say yes, since for OG to work it inflicts a self damage per foe affected.
edit: well yes in that if it hits a mob, so as soon as OG starts owrking on a mob you take damage thus can't remain hidden.

That's the only reason people [censored] so much about Energy Melee. Well, that and Total Focus. And Energy Transfer. ;P

No really, I've got a MA/DA and I've watched DM/SR's, I know full well what "dustbunnies" are capeable of in PvP and the thought of a Stalker with it should scare everyone [censored]-less

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!
[/ QUOTE ]
They probably won't offer cloak of darkness. Much like the /eng stalker doesn't get energy cloak.
[ QUOTE ]
i still want a devices primary for stalkers. that's my popular request.
[/ QUOTE ]
That would be awesome I so second this. Naturally a "traps" set rather than a devices set. Might not be great in pvp and possibly slow as heck in PvE but it would be hella fun to play.

1. Stalker EA came first! Brutes got a modified version, and the melee counterpart, to replace Ice armor and melee, as the slows were counterproductive to Fury.
2. _Castle_ seemed to confirm CoD with his last post.

Pleased? Heck, I'm pleased as punch. Fits the concept of a Stalker I was already playing to a T. In fact it matches that concept so well that I'll be setting that character aside until Issue 7 when I can re-create her. Stronger, better, faster, yadda yadda.

But for some insane reason, when I hit a boss, he hits back. If it's uberer than stun, how is that possible?

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 ]
Actually, hide was scrapped for a passive resist, and the repulsion field was scrapped for energy cloak.
That is to say: You've got EA's evolution backward.
