These dont exist anymore btw.. or have you pvp'd since i12?

Quite a bit actually. Yes they still exist, it's just that not all Stalkers are able to do it now, especially the newbie stalkers who haven't even learned to slot Stealth IOs. But indeed I've been 2-shotted several times. And no, I won't tell you how they are managing to do it.

In i13, it was MUCH harder to do, but possible if you caught a squishie unprepared (one with no +HP bonuses or accolades, no additional resistance, etc) and had enough +damage. In i14, it's gotten a bit easier since AS is unresisted again, but still pretty tricky, due to DR.
Still, far from a credible threat as all it takes is WASD to diffuse most assaults like that. Same as it's always been.

You can disagree with any of my posts, that's fine, just don't be disagreeable!

Don't whine about something that lowers the price of these drops for everyone and provides stock on the market at a constant rate.
The equation is simple, people farm PvP IO in (lets say) bloody bay, they are level 50 so for X # of hours they are not gaining exp while you are doing missions, then the time comes where you want to slot your toons and WHALAA, tons of PvP IO's ready and waiting on the market at an affordable price. You slot out, go to BB and pwn face 2x faster with your uuber IO's (provided to you at a reduced price by farmers), kill all the farmers to get your righteous revenge, and you have fun and profit. Problem, I think not.

Sounds like crying to me "i get 2 shotted" well go learn to build a better toon, or stay outta the zone. Your right lets make everyone equal, so it means jack to ppl that actually take pride in their toons and spec them and io them out so they are pimp. Big surprise mediocore players and their toons, want everyone else brought down to there mediocore level

I was just about to say the same thing. lol
Killing these guys is more fun than it appears. They aren't sure you aren't some new jackhole coming to join in the circle jerk who is confused about the rules (plus, of course, they suck), so you can solo quite a few of them. They all just sit there like sheep waiting to die. Only downside is they give up and quit too soon.

Drop rate is relatively low but it's been averaging something around 1 per 80-100 kills in arena matches for me.

Yes they are on a 10 min timer. So if you get one to drop you wont for 10 min. But its team based. If you have 2 people killing and one gets a drop. He can still keep on killing and get a drop for the other team member.

Hes right. I've two shotted his toon on many occasions in SC. In fact i think I have one demorecorded. Sitting still in a huddle isn't as safe as one would think.
As far as getting drops, get on a team or make one. From what I understand everyone on a team has a equal chance to get a pvp drop for a kill as long as you're in range.
The only things a Stalker can two-shot anymore are squishies that didn't build for +HP and aren't running a resist-based shield (or buffs). Only time I've ever two-shot something on my Stalker was a Warshade in Nova form (BU + AS + Shark), but that was in RV. In Siren's I can see it being a bit different but low-level PvP is boring to me.

With epic shields in RV it is damn near impossible. In SC against a sub par toon its completely possible. Personally I enjoy all PvP zones except BB.
BB is where it's at...
