Remember the day we tried to fight off that swarm of pesky villains? *rocks back in his chair* Ahh those were days, now all I have left is a pesky ulcer. Would you be a dear and fetch me some tea as well?

i knew u were getting old but not THAT old.. 
Only just skimmed through this so it may have been mentioned before. With focused senses + tactics, you should have enough perception to see stalkers. Also, which defender sets do you play?

Roll an Elec/Nrg Blaster with Tactics and exact some sweetly swift revenge on the stalkers that have plagued you

Most stalkers dont know how non squishy they are.

Agreed, in PvE my stalker can stand up to a +1 alpha strike in a team of 4-5 players. and in PvP if i find a 'Lone Sheep' i can usually take them down (Tanks take bloody ages and dont get me started on Regen! 
)
Sorry to hear your giving up on PvP, i've seen you with your Stormie in Sirens a few times and couldnt get near you to AS you (not for the lack of trying right enough ) but saying that, i've not been in PvP much lately because i got fed up with the constant moaning about AS and TP Foe... but thats a whole other issue

Plus, SR has +perception in Focused Senses - so Stalkers don't get away that easily either.

It works well enough for me - sure, I might only see them as they move in for AS if it's a decent stalker, but that gives me more than enough time to slap them away before they even bob down into AS. Even if I miss, it either a) scares them off from trying to AS me again or b) doesn't matter anyway as the AS goes *whiff* past my ears - although when it does hit it's usually time to run and retoggle, or die quickly.
TBH, I'm more concerned by Dominators than I am by Stalkers.

I hear ya, Tyl.
Just to note, mez resist (especially click mez resists) render most controllers useless against you, unless you have a few of them stacking on you before you run (running is the wise choice under threat of mez, so we often only get chance to land 2 or 3). Also, it doesnt matter if we can see the stalkers or not, what matters is if we can REVEAL them. Nothing worse than being able to technically see a stalker but being unable to actually hit the bugger to show them and prevent AS. Given the stalker defenses, i've generally found that even stalkers I can see from the moment they walk up to me, I dont normally get to interrupt. Also, you have to remember that given AS's interrupt time, there are some powers with medium/long animations that rob you of your chance of interrupting at all.
You're right, stalkers arent massively uber-everything gods. But you should be able to understand the frustration of the constant killstealage, and otherwise fun PVP sessions cut short by a very samey slicing sound and instant death. Stalkers have been heard complaining that they arent as effective against regens and tankers (mostly granites), as they are other classes, and yet still stand by their "we're only a one-trick pony" idea. I say you're only a one-trick pony if you play it like that, with a few bad build choices aside. Every time someone says something about stalkers, the flags raise and people start saying "Leave us stalkers alone". Well, if people can whine about the fact my controller has A combat use, then we can at least say we get annoyed at samey, effortless death. By effortless, I mean single-hit fight finishers (or for the pedantic, single-hit-to-brawl, or single-hit-to-placate-to-critical). I know exactly how hard it can be to work as a stalker, and i've seen some of the most respected/hated/feared stalkers in SC moving around, obviously having a hard time of picking a viable strikepoint, but you have to understand, whilst powerstalking is a valid way of doing things, leaving the base to get AS'ed to respawn to an AS to respawn to an AS to nearly fight someone but get AS'ed anyway... makes you get bored very fast, in an otherwise fun zone.
You say "OMG I CANT 1-HIT THE GRANITE! LEAVE US STALKERS ALONE WE ARE WEAK"
I say "OMG U STALKERS ARE ANNOYING, MEZ RESIST SCRAPPER DEFENSE INSTASQUISHKILL RUNNER-STEALTHERS".
Its part of the game, frustration and all. We're entitled to be annoyed, and we're entitled to leave PVP when we faceplant by AS every other breath
I just hope Tyl comes back soon.

Obviously one reason is lovely stalkers, not so much them as people (although a few i could murder...) its the fact that any char i make (exclusing my storm) is 1hitted, yes i know its part of they're build yes i know they near enough ALL ahve to be spines/claws/nin..... >.> *yawn boring* Its just very annoying to be 1/2 hitted constanly...anywho nxt..

I am non of the above.
I have never even with a full tray of reds one shotted anyone.
Thats all I will say.

Generally feeling fed up in pvpv when constantly attacked by people who dont seem to realise they can take other people out without going after me all the tiiiime so boring, annoying etc.

And ye i know what your thinking, just annoyed getting ganked, make something that cant be...well i shouldny bloomin av to...
[/ QUOTE ]
I agree. PvP is not...perfectly balanced.
But I think for the most part it is fine.
To combat my stalker you need to..
1. See him.
After that I may aswell dance as I can do diddly Squat.
Oh and yeah SR aint too pretty atm.
On a note that is somewhat related.
Play a Stalker in PvP and PvE before you judge them.
LARGE pat on the back to very Stalker out there. Life aint as easy as you all seem to think.

ahem.........i ahve a lvl 40 stalker so i know both sides.....and tbh i dont like it anymore, in the beginning as gan said was fun now its not worth loading unless something in pve is going down......and since when am i famous?!?! lol

Go Grav/Sonic troller and stack clarity on your pet.
With tough and temp invuln AS would be reduced buy about 54%, more with power boost (Prob to Troller Max).
Most of the time though your Singularity will see em well before they attack anyway.
Oh and if you really want to annoy them back just use Sonic Cage and Dimension Shift .

Except that the critical part of AS would still hit you for full damage.

Actually, this is almost certainly why you get attacked so much. I know that Imaginary is always complaining about how he gets ganked by everyone whenever he goes into the zone on Captain Freon.
ye but who i am shouldnt get me killed so much in a plaec where there is a time limit between bounty kills/rep kills etc (sirens mainly talking), just cuz i know near enough the whole server dont mean 99% gankage should happen

Why not? Take it as a compliment. People see you as the biggest threat in a team, so they take you out first. Surely this means that you're doing your job well?
Yup I bet if you rolled a toon with:
No connection to the one's you have now.
Played on hide and told no one it was you.
Were less vocal etc.
82.676% of Gankings would stop.

Tyl, sorry if I ever ganked you! I regret it now if I did so. I mean your not that pretty an ornament come to think of it!
