/SR Stalkers. I thought it was bad for pvp?

A /SR Stalker a few days ago was tanking a Tanker and two Scrappers. All three are fully IO slotted.

Everybody said /SR was bad? How is that bad? And he didn't have Elude in his build? And he didn't use insps...

Tankers and Scrappers have downs. More then likely the tank was not SS and the scrappers are retarded. Any blaster with Aim+BU would take his lunch money...i guarantee it. SR Stalkers are bad against anything that has to hit or alot of ACC..which pretty much makes that everything Blue side. The best stalker secondary is WP...o and Dark Armor.

I actually recently saw something that I couldnt explain.

I ran into a bane soldier in sirens that had the best defense I've seen in....I don't even know how long. First of all, they don't get elusivity. Second of all, they don't have a tier 9.

But this guy was just unhittable. I was on a sonic/dev blaster, and with TD and Aim fully slotted, and Aim running, I had 30% chance to hit him! With aim!

And it's not like I was doing something wrong or could have a better build. +tohit is capped, and there's no way to get more than what I had, like 105% or so. Maybe a couple % more, but nothing major.

So wtf? What % chance of hitting should a blaster at the +tohit cap (aim+bu running) expect to have against a scrapper with elude? Just wondering. Is it around 30%? Because if it's a lot higher, maybe there is some new bug with soldiers.

Demonic Aura FTW lol

No dude. Demonic aura lasts 1 minute. This guy is permanently unhittable....well, unless you consider a MAXIMUM of 30% chance hittable.

I was told (by his friend) that he's completely insane and has spent literally over 20 billion on his build. So it's understandable how he has a lot of defense.

I just don't understand how he could have THAT much. I mean...slotting tons of purples doesn't magically let you get over the defense cap, does it?

So confused

What was his name? Popping Purples maybe???

Well I saw him again tonight and I was getting 60-70% tonight. Don't know wtf lol. He was still really hard to hit, but at least it wasn't as bad as the other night. Maybe he was popping purples after all....although he must have had a ton of them to do it for the whole night.

Oh well, lol at him for spending 20+ bil on a bane.

First off, I'll BET he was using Elude. For one, how could you "prove" that he "wasn't" using Elude and both prove that the two Scrappers fighting him were fully IO'd? You can't see powers discriptions between factions, so there'd be no way for sure to tell for both. People lie alot afterall, and in any case this can definately change the outcome of what you saw.


Second, I'll bet the Scrappers (who were probably not IO'd if he wasn't using Elude) were most likely relying on just Build Up for their to-hit buffs and the Stalker (who may have been smart) was cycling Placate between the Build Up's of each Scrapper to prevent them from hitting him while they had the ability to. The Tanker, was most likely in the same boat and probably NOT Super Strength.


Either way, I'm betting there's more to the story than what you may have "saw" at the time...
