Stalkers! Too powerful?!?

Heehee, just kidding.

Have just got an AR/Dev blaster to 20th lvl and took her into Siren's where with the aid of my targetting drone, IR goggles and a stealth suit I could see stalkers perfectly well and even managed to bring one down - despite having only DO enhs in all my slots and the limited damage that AR puts out.

My opinion of stalkers has now wildly changed. They're not as squishy as some would have us believe but the ability to see them and *mostly* interrupt AS changes the game considerably.

So, my advice to anyone who's been struggling with stalkers is to roll up a toon that's capable of hunting them. Trust me, it's a lot of fun turning the tables on them

Hehe, tell me about it I love hunting stalkers when they think you can't see them, and a sudden movement from myself will see them moving faster than Pavarotti at an all you can eat.

Once i get my respec, i'll become a stalker too...

lvl 35 Fire/Dev with tactics running ... love standing there waiting for them, then dropping Rain of Fire on them as they start their AS ... the slow ones come back for more

Do you need the goggles? I head u can see stalkers with just tactics and targetting drone.

Targetting Drone does not increase perception, only accuracy.

Hehe you can try but mostly you fail, mostly. Even if you do become a stalker hunter, you've got one last problem to overcome. You've got to catch me

All stalkers go through a special training school on the art of running away. As noted by many people, we do this often and its almost as fun as AS'ing someone

No, sending you scurrying back to the safety of your base gives me plenty of satisfaction heehee. Seriously though. One of the nice things about AR is the victim doesn't know where the shot came from - so what way do you run? I spent a good few minutes running around the ledge of a building popping at villains without them having a clue where the damage was coming from

The stalker I popped had run away from the nearby heroes, around a corner and had started resting when i closed in to finish the job. Was using the stealth suit last night, but next time it'll be the cloaking device

Of course I could always throw down some caltrops and see how fast u can run through them

Only Stalkers with Super Jump can get away from me and even then if they are packing insp.

I have no problem catching Stalkers. I just have a problem with killing them quickly. Hurts them more than it hurts me though.

*blink blink*

That was a cruel topic to write in.... here I was expecting another one of "THOSE" threads.

Got to say your worng Deluge it is + perception wich is why blasters with TD and tactics can see stalkers and why Sharp Shot has no prob seeing em when he gets his Googles.

Roll up an SR Scrapper, avoid stalker criticals and hunt them down like dogs thanks to increased perception from focused senses.


 

Posted

Really? I had TD on Deluge Version 1, and that was one of the main reasons i re-rolled him...


 

Posted

Yeah its + percetion mate I can have that running and see hidden people fine if they have stealth you need tactics or the Googels to see em.

Thats the difference between a good stalker and a bad stalker. A good stalker knows his surroundings and is kind of aware of whose about - I for one look up into the skies for just that (and can bring ya crashing down with impale).

Caltrops shouldn't work on me either as am resistant to slow. So in this example, you are grounded (cant fly), your caltrops have not affected me, its not looking to good for you .....

Hehe, so caltrops don't work on you, fair enough. I can't argue the point since I don't know. What I do know is you're not going to know I'm there until I pull the trigger (cloaking device) and even after I do your impale isn't going to reach me

Not trying to suggest I'll beat u or anything at all. I'm just jazzed that at last I have a build that can stand up to a stalker (my main can only survive them, he can't beat them) and I can now hunt the hunters
