Yes they are.
Yes they do.
It's a good idea.
You don't become useless you become dead.
Indeed.
But a Regen Scrapper will stomp you. 
Yeah -speed is killer for Blasters/Scrappers too.

Thats an excellent post, and I agree with most of it. How rare :3
Ha, i knew squishy stalkers were a myth!
Good post, I think i agree with all that was said there.

heh yeah, stalkers are definately not squishy- they can rack up the highest number of kills out of all the ATs, with ease- that really doesn't cry out as squishy to me.
As for regens, they have least chance against a stalker if you think about it, regens suffer most from alpha strike and high damage coming at a high rate, and that is effectively what a stalker is all about, so basically a regenner has less chance of surviving against a stalker than say an SR scrapper as an sr scrapper has a greater chance to mitigate that AS with defence as rare as it is its true, and even more so at the high end of PvP-elude

No, what you mean to say is not ALL stalkers are squishy, mine is but I built him that way. They still ahve less def and much less HPs though but their powers are geared towards this.

They have less hp, but they DO have defences (mainly in the form of status protection and final mitigation power) aswell as strong offence unlike controller, defenders and some masterminds, their not as squishy as other ATs and can stand toe to toe against a scrapper, even if they have less hp.
But yes you are right some stalkers can be classes as "squishy" and its the way you build them.
well in sirens i only get integration, as, buildup n 2 other attacks, so get found and i'll go BOINK anywho XD

The manual for CoV states that Stalkers are good to start off with. It's right, but then experienced players come along from CoH and start off with what sounds promising and delivers those promises. They get the high-scores on the easy mode on space invaders. I love the points made by the post...would love the ground to be evened out a little more. (Under-exaggeration.)

I know I have trouble Finding you, and a WHOLE lot more trouble Boinking you.. ehe.. well.. who'd want that, right?
Anyway, those very very few times I actually DO see you, you disappear around a corner, and is lost to me yet again. 
I don't think my nick has -EVER- been in your defeat list, while you've defeated me more times than I can remember.
Edit: Oh wait. there was once I got a sorely missed kill, but I can't remember if it was you or D'M.
Great article and true as well.

Yeah less def and half the hit points makes it a nice even scrap

I think it depends on the secondary. I wouldn't play a /regen Stalker and I play /regen Scrappers a lot. Lower HP means lower regen rate.
I'd really like to see a Stalker and a Scrapper in an 'even' fight, i.e. without the AS. I'm pretty sure that, even with an AS, Crow could face down most Stalkers. Though the two times he's been near one, it was either a one-shot kill or Crow running away and living. I don't do PvP.

l even ammend the suggestion I made earlier. The problem isn't Hide. The problem is Assassin's Strike made from Hide because people can't fight back. Drop Assassin's Strike's interruptible period to 1 second, 4 second interrupt in PvE on a melee power serves absolutely no purpose. Make all stealth powers suppress as soon as you click it in PvP. Everyone gets 1 second to stop themselves from being insta-ganked, but you can gather +perception if you want more warning than that. Stalkers don't get an automatic "I win" against anyone that doesn't have the rare build necessary to see them, but when properly stalking, a 1-second window is more than enough.

That's a pretty silly suggestion. 1s is nowhere near enough, given animation times of pretty much everything.

Any Stalker that tries to one shot a Scrapper (especially Regen), fails, then sticks around is an idiot.

Got to say your wrong there regens are meat to any stalker player that knows what there doing. The fight normaly gose AS follow up hit and if the regener is still alive after that all you normaly see is there dust trail as they run off to regen by wich time you are hidden agian and get to have another crack at em.

So, seeing as you agree with what he said, how is that wrong?

Some regens are easily beatable by stalkers, good regens are not, following the first AS all the clickies are activated and bang its [censored] kicking time. I know regens that solo stalkers CANNOT take unless they make a mistake and forget a clicky

I'm in the process of making a */regen stalker. So far so good (PvE wise).

That would hardly be an even fight though. A stalker has nowhere near enough health to stand toe to toe with a scrapper. No stalker with a brain cell would get into that situation.

yeah that ranks right up there with wanting to see my brute take on an empath heres an example, my stalker has less than 700 HPs in sirens while SinghMCs regen scrapper has 1500 with the accolades
