Stalker role in organized arena PvP is to just AS people.
In zones, it's to AS people and also spam impale or thunderstrike at them.
Yes, you do need stealth to be a good stalker. Kind of how everybody needs stamina. I never understood the complaining about that.
Two broken things does not a fixed thing make xD.
I suppose i should have added a disclaimer like "if you're uninterested in the topic, or don't want to answer my questions, don't bother." Silly me. Boost that post count! Never mind the fact that i have neither impale nor thunderstrike, as i clearly stated my powersets.
Lemme try a different tactic: Any stalkers out here having fun with a build that does something besides AS and run away? Preferably as nin/nin?
LOL, I answered your questions pretty clearly. The thing about impale and TS was a joke, because those are the 2 clearly best primaries. Figured you'd be logical enough to substitute those powers for a power from your own set and get the general idea.
Which is AS + followup attack + run away. If you don't like "AS'ing and running away" you clearly made a wrong toon.
And yes, I'm having fun with my stalker. Just one of them though, since the EM nerfs completely destroyed my other one.
Do Stalkers have a role in PvP nowadays? If so, what is it?
I've given up on Hide and Placate. As a ninja toon, i can't use my primary reason for being's Hide and remain unseen: i have to take An Idiot's Guide to Being Sneekeh, aka pool stealth, to have a chance. Lame. So forget that.
Placate's been broken 5 years now, so forget that too. My earlier workarounds i've posted in the past are no longer effective, except in rare cases. So forget that too.
What we have left is a nerfed Scrapper. So, ok, i'll try anything once....
For added laughs, I'm nin/nin.
Build ideas, i14?
