What if all the stalkers want to stalk the stalkers and end up having nothing to stalk?
i thought some bait would help with that.

isnt AS really weak now or do stalkers not get the pvp resist bonus because theyre melee?
heroes had /dev blasters already, much better stalkers than stalkers imo.
i remember AS chains in warburg many issues ago, it was so funny before the 1 shot code got put in 
.
i havent done much pvping since the i13 changes so i dont know about AS being nerfed.
triumph
???
AS has gotten better since i14. It isn't resisted anymore.
"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict
k so my plan still stands. i will love ASing stalkers as they pop out of hide to AS someone else. talk about instant karma

You realize this has been possible for like 3 years, right?
In warburg.
i always forget about warburg, i like sirens and rv. i get too paranoid when EVERYONE can kill me.

i am prejudiced against villians as well. i want to have a heroic stalker. red on red crime just doesnt feel as good as pwning for the greater good.

lol. Well don't worry, I hate warburg too.

quite the opposite...as it stands right now...AS is the only "partial" unresisted dmg in the game. So that 500 Dmg from the crit will always be 500 no matter what. Thats why Double AS is so good now. And as for Hereos getting Stalkers....this could turn into a nightmare for zone pvpers.....everyone will be on a stalker...and no body will be able to see anybody. So yea...

[/ QUOTE ]Yes double AS is good, but it's a shame that they actually make you have to double team someone to be effective on a scrapper or tank.Solo against them on a stalker is pointless now, your damage is so neutered only good squishie killers.
The funny thing is, even though you seem like one of the whiners that got the changes made in the first place, you're probably still bad..------Macskull on Crop_of_shaolin

You're forgetting the theme of the game. Hero stalkers will have twice the stealth cap of vil stalkers, and will also have twice the perception radius. That will balance things

This is true.
I just sat on my Fire/SS tank in RV for 5 min or so letting a EM/Nin stalker hit me without fighting back and she ran out of end. 
its wierd seeing so many tanks running around in pvp zones.

Yeah, well this is not so hilarious.
This kind of things usually kills pvp in mmorpg.
Could't exixt a class u can't kill : any class has to be able to kill each other.
Course eatch class has his nemesis, but if u are skilled and ur opposite not u have to win.
If u can stay immobile and i still can't kill u.. this suks!

[/ QUOTE ]Well castles data mining showed stalkers had a high kill to death ratio so they must be to strong? If he pvp a bit and left the mines alone he would know most kills came from kill stealing, killing noobs standing around, And since your in hiding you choose your battles so your kill to death ratio would be obscured if all you used is raw data to make determinations.
Stalkers are only really effective in pairs now, and no solo stalker no matter the build can solo a tanker in this new pvp. A purpled out AS used after bu usually does about 1/5 damage to them. Really it's almost impossible to kill most scrappers, because your in trouble when they decide to hit back. Most scrappers in pvp literally stand still so you'll feel good, come AS them and they turn and wreck you, or force you to run.
Your main attack took a nerf, went from 6 to 2 on the damage scaler. And that is hurting things a ton, makes you phase and run alot more.

blue side pvpers, who else is looking forward to rolling up a stalker, side switching and handing out some assasin strikes to those who need it the most?
