I'm wondering if it was mud pots that was saving me by interrupting AS? I was definitely getting criticals hits against me but not for much damage. That might have just been the normal attacks and those are easily countered by my regen, defence and resistance.
I know my PBs dwarf still suffers badly when hit with AS and that has more resistance than Faulty.
so, the main tip is, lvl fast, use insperations and I'll be fine? cool, I now need to know what powers would be most effective for my fire/fire tanker to survive in the crazy world which is PvP

Well a stalker has more tricks than just AS, belive me the tank goes down if the stalker wishes. Hell if a stalker puffs 10 reds(cant be bothered to find the cap. but Im sure 10 will take you there) and build up he can 1 hit kill a stone tank in granite.

Only got around to taking Faulty into Sirens today. Didn't bother before as he only has brawl and stone fist to attack with at that level. Anyway, had two stalkers having a go at me and I just let them. After several minutes and my hp bar only reaching 1/2 once (when I just hit Earths Embrace and healed) they both gave up and left me to go and find something easier.
As for one shotting a tank in GA, whouldn't that mean they would have to hit for about 16,000 points of damage? Probably 22,000 if running EE.

Hmm... No. He needs to do 1630,41 points of damage (lvl38, Warburg) (if the tank doesnt have accolades or EE). AS is a critical hit and critical hits are unresisted in PvP.

You took dull pain into account?
He did, EE is Earth's Embrace which is the Stone tank's Dull Pain.
And a Stalker single Stalker should never be able to kill a Tank.

Unless you are a stone tank when you don't really have that much choice. 
Went and stood about in Sirens again last night. Had a MM, Corruptor and 2 Stalkers attacking me for a good 5 mins at one point and they did no real damage. Only got hit with one AS all night and that was the one that killed me. That was only because it knocked off rooted and the other villians piled on me quick. I was a little drunk and slightly cocky by that point as well so didn't react very quickly.
It may burn end but running as many toggels as you can helps. I run 6 and even if one or two drop, they are usually not vital.

You mean unless you're a Stone Tank you've got the choice.
Still a bit drunk? 
Good point though, forgot about Stone Tanks.

Still drunk?! As if.....
just to stop this turning into a drunken forum brawl. I have discovered many things now I patrol the empty streets of Siren's call.
1. level, fast!
2. use lots of inspirations
3. stay in a large team, or better yet, a large group of Longbow wardens 
you guys have helped me survive longer in the perils of PVP. and now that I am getting closer to buying CoV, I want to thank you for helping me through this rough time
so have fun and remmember

10 secs to take down a stone tank in granite I dont think so. If there are 6 people attacking a stone tank in granite of coruse its going to go down after some time but a stone tank all alone in the PvP zone is as much used as one legged man in a [censored] kicking comp.

Would Ice patch not do it for a /Ice tanker.
They can't AS you if they're falling on their [censored].

Ice patch neutralises AS completely as far as I saw. The stalkers trying to wail on me were utterly immune to double icepatch knockback in a way I'm not familiar with, but even the act of ignoring the icepatch interrupts AS.
The stalkers eventually gave up trying to kill me without AS.
On the other hand there was absolutely no way I could have killed them. So I ignored them beating on me and killed Arachnos, which made a much more satisfying dent in their pride

So wonder why they couldn't kill me then? Guess I'll have to go back and have some more fun to try and find out.
[/ QUOTE ]
Probably missing a lot. Also if you have health and rooted you are going to heal up as they try to hurt you.
As for a fire tanker taking out a stalker. Just wait till you see MISS then drop a burn patch. It only takes one hit to drop hide then they get chewed up so fast it's not funny.
Does this mean Inv Tanks are the easiest prey in PvP for a stalker?
No dmg aura to interrupt AS...
Mainly RES set so AS-able...

Is the whole of an AS or a critical hit unresisted or just the extra bit ( 50% for a scrapper or stalker critical and 84% for a stalker assassin's strike )?
@Unthing ... Mostly on Union.
