Stalkers are more overpowered than anything else!!

As I remember it from the beta forums it was Hide + Stealth + multiple applications of Grant Invisibility to put you beyond the perception threshold. I also seem to remember that this was being looked into along with the whole 1-shot business.

Your recollection differs to mine and others. Yes, its more than likely being looked into, but until it gets altered (Which may not be for some time AFAIK) Stalkers have a huge advantage in PvP.

Well, his recollection is the same as mine

And mine. 
I wont be sad to see the one shot kills go as for the multiple applications of invisibility, i think 2x (hide and stealth) is plenty and isnt too much.

I will be sad to see them go as one whole AT will be ruined.
Hope the one shot kills don't get 'looked at' too heavily for PvE. It's hard enough to cope with large groups of mobs as it is.

I believe the "one shot kills" in PvE are only for mobs killing you, not the other way round. (That is, they can't kill you like that, but you can kill them)
I posted this elsewhere, but bear with me.
According to the devs, you can't balance Stalkers.
Logic:
The devs have stated that they cannot and will not balance 1v1 matches, it comes down to rock/paper/scissors.
Stalkers are, by definition, 1-on-1 killers. Even in teams, they essentially fight individuals.
Hence, Stalkers cannot be balanced effectively for PvP.
I'd certainly say that it appears that there is no valid way to balance the initial attack from a Stalker. If a Stalker is attacking a team, then the 'balance' is that they'll quite possibly die after taking out the first target.
The only real problem would seem to be teams of Stalkers who could, potentially, AS an entire target team. Chances of that working seem slim though.
Disclaimer: The above may be humerous, or at least may be an attempt at humour. Try reading it that way.

I dont mean a damage reduction in anyway I just think an AS kill on a controller and defender is a bit unsporting. And i have no need for more than Hide and Stealth

I think we should test all nerfs on botty first. I propose that the first one involves him having to play blindfolded with 1 arm tied behind his back, while singing the national anthem backwards.
Prolly play as well as the rest of us then

Oh Oh! I feel toggles being turned into clickys, an increase in damage only to reduce it another way etc etc coming on

And a flashing novelty nose just like Rudolf.......no real reason for it, but it sure would look funny!

FYI, SS + Stealth makes you completely invisible as well, by your definition.

Only in PvE, SS has no stealth component in PvP
