i really want to play a dark/regen stalker but im worried about the lack of crit hits from the set. does siphon life and midnight graso have the ability to crit from hidden? also any experience or build advice is greatly appriciated.

Yeah they do, 100% of the time for full damage. Try my guide on for size, it's in my sig.


Doom.

Yep.

This is really doom.

Nice guide Angry.


The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

Midnight Grasp and Siphon Life have 100% critical from Hidden and if you use them follow by Placate, you may score double critical... now that's a lot of damage! The % chance of happening is small but when it happens, man..


What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.

Personally I like the double critical on Assassin's Strike over Midnight's Grasp, but whatever floats your boat...

I am relatively new to stalking, so can I ask to be enlightened by what you mean?


11 months of all-nighters, messy feeding sessions, bath fighting and realizing just how good my son's lungs work, and I am still convinced he is the crowning accomplishment in my life. What in the blue HFIL is wrong with me?

If the timing is right following a Placate, your character can get the guaranteed "Hidden" and 10% chance for "non-Hidden" Assassin's Strike criticals to both go off on the same attack. There's a small window after the Placate where this works, because (the rest of this is theory, given how the criticals are written to supposedly be mutually exclusive) the game is transitioning you from the forced-hidden status of Placate to the regular hidden status.

It makes for a nice little bonus, but isn't reliable enough to count on.
