I've never written a guide before, so I'm sorry if it's not well constructed or organized. I just want to give some /device blasters a few tips on hunting stalkers. I'll just make a few points. You can take them and apply them how you want.
1. Range > Melee. Stalkers must be in melee range to hit you with AS. Put a couple range enhancements in each of your attacks and you can even stay out of reach from their placate.
2. Web grenade and caltrops are your friend. Put a couple ranges in web grenade to ground those slippery stalkers. The only stalker that can get away from this are stalkers with teleport. If they're almost dead, try to snipe them before they get out of range.
3. SJ+hover. Seems odd I know, but fly just isn't fast enough to keep up with anything. SJ gives you the vertical and forward speed you need to catch up with someone. Hit hover right before you begin your snipe. Right as snipe goes off, shut off hover and unload on your opponent as you plummet towards him. Most of the time, they'll have no time to react since it all hits 'em at once.
4. Tactics+Targetting Drone. Stacked perception is really nice against stalkers. Even if the stalker has stacked stealth, you can see 'em within 20/30 feet. Put at least 2 tohit buffs in both tactics and targeting drone. Put 3 in each and your attacks will hit right through their defenses 90% of the time. If you take AIM, that can even bust through those masterminds with PFF.
so there ya go. Hope this helps the /dev blasters.
