get better at being where someone is heading and timing it properly.


"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

Learning not to use follow is a huge step in the right direction.


Duel me.

If you start the attack while your target is in range and it makes a successful hit check, it WILL hit, no matter how far away the target is.

It sounds to me like the stalkers you have been facing in PvP have exceptionally good timing if you are moving. Remember that the only key to an Assassin Strike is that YOU have to remain still, your target does not.

Note: You cannot joust with an AS because of it's interruptible nature. But your target only has to be in range for the power's range check and after that where the target is is irrelevant. The ONLY ways to avoid being hit with an AS that makes it's to-hit check are A) Hit the stalker during the interruption window, and B) Break line of sight before the attack resolves.

Then another person learns the truth, that being a good stalker isn't as easy as some make it look. Assassin Strike isn't a i win button, then you also find out if your playing against other good pvp'rs you might have to abandon using AS all together for extended stretches of time, and kill using the other tools.


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

Do PVP stalkers slot interrupt red in their AS? This makes a mammoth difference for pulling off other interruptible attacks in the game. A couple of those in AS could make it look like a stalker was running and ganking you.
