Interrupting Stalkers

I know Hurricane can prevent a troller getting ganked by Assassin strike. What other powers can do this? ( I'm hoping that choking cloud may be able to )

Choking cloud won't interrupt, I don't think. You'll be able to see the "miss!" icon though, and fire off someting like Flash or Cinders to actually knock them out of hide.

Perhaps Hot-Feet from the Fire-troller pool could interrupt a Stalker's AS.

The earthquake interrupts stalkers.

The little KB bubble (not force bubble) around you seems to interrupt stalkers, even if they have Acrobatics.

only the autohits like hurricane actually interupt AS 100%, the rest will only interrupt if they hit. The PBAOEs are all good so long as slotted with acc but I hvae ASd through pretty much all but hurricane.

artic air wont stop an AS from hitting, but if you can see the stalker before they hit you, isnt that just as good? Granted most pvp stalkers have stealth aswell , but i would think tactics and AA would over come that (i think). Anyway, i have hurricane too

Actually quicksand interrupts also and hurricane as well

A Stalker won't even get chance to AS strike a Controller when they have Hotfeet on, if he Placates he'll just get damage again. Hotfeet is one of the worst for a Stalker, because the range is quite wide and allies of the Controller can easily stay inside. A Stalker has to be careful of those close to HotFeet too, because the Controller may knowingly or unknowingly move Hotfeet into him. It also like PvE slows an enemy so can be a very quick death if a Stalker gets caught anywhere but the outskirts of it. Hotfeet is a great anti Stalker power, but doesn't make you immune to a Stalker superspeeding towards you, jumping at the last moment and hitting you as he passes over Hotfeet. But you'll never get AS with it on as far as I know.

Hotfeet is not 100% I fly above, get in place, build up, drop and AS very quickly on people with PBAOEs, if its not an autohit then there is a chance of being ASd. As for repel it helps at lot but is not infaliable, you can ask Gandrel about that

I'd like to see this, since if your within range to AS then a power like Hotfeet will effect even the flying. Hotfeet ticks you for damage too fast for you to get an AS strike in.

No it doesnt, it can miss as it isnt AUTOhit, if it misses and doesnt hit it doesnt interrupt the AS. As I said I am above and out of the range of all hit aspects (often a great hight avoiding any who can see me), I build up, then i drop with AS being clicked so the instant I land (I drop and land in the hotfeet) the animation is launched and the AS is moving. An example of how quick I can do this is this, before the drones were able to see through hide I got a friend (very good pvper) to wait in hero base for me to drop out of the sky and launch my AS, I landed in front of him, he could see me with the +perception from the drones, but he could not land an attack before my AS hit, this guy is not a novice and we tried several times. I have spend a great deal of time with my stalker in sirens and know what can and cannot affect me, hotfeet can hit and interupt the AS or it can miss and allow the AS to complete. Hotfeet and ALL other non-autohit PBAOEs make it harder to AS but NOT impossible

I stand corrected then. I doubt I'm skilled enough not to mention too lazy to try something like that

Hotfeet used to be autohit but in a recent patch was changed. Probably need 3 x Acc as most powers do in PvP to ensure it hits the stalker.

3xAcc and 3xEndRed would probably allow me to run it constantly assuming Stamina 3 slotted as well.

3xAcc is best as in pvp the base accuracy lvl is droped from 0.75 tp 0.5 which is a fair bit of a drop. Running it as you suggest should give you something like 90% protection from AS as flying stalkers are rare and after getting hit once by my drop technique people dont stay still often . Hotfeet is one of the better ones as you cant resist the slow effect and you have an almost captive stalker for stacking holds and your team to attack.

Standing on my Fire Controller's Bonfire seems to work, but its a pain to continuously recast.
