Dont listen to her!
Its tactics you want, not manouvers, and yellow inspirations are chewy, not crunchy.
Never used yellows much to help, i think the idea is use one after an AS. Hammer said something about igniting the ground. Assuming thats a targetted AoE you can save time by binding it to the shift key+right mouse button. You can also hear the noise buildup makes to know when your likely to get attacked.

You can't go directly to Tactics though, can you? You have to pick something else from the Leadership pool first.

Assault is also an option, but tbh I dont know which is better, assault or maneuvers.

Assault, I think. I don't think the defensive buff from Maneuvers is enough to make it worthwhile.

Propably depends on the toon. If you have other form of defense you can stack maneuvers with, then it might be worth it.

Assault give res to placate which might be worth having.

There's also certain powers that make you harder to take down.

Flight is one, as AS can't hit you in midair, though Impale can. Beware of Ice Corruptors.

Stealth/Invis/Phaseshift can help. Beat them at their own game.

Repulsion Field can help if you're out on your own.

Any armour helps.(Temp Invuln/Body Armour/Ice Armour/Stealth)

Just remember that you WILL be the target for most Stalkers and don't keep still enough and stay within range of the heavy hitters with shields.

Pets always help as well. Any good blaster should be able to solo to get the Shivan Shards.

Getting IR Goggles helps if you're in control of the zone.

Running debuff missions whilst you're guys are out killing may help.

And always remember to stack your box full of Breakfrees, Blasters rarely need anything else. Though Luck and Sturdy may help against them as well.

In your stead, Slaughter the MMs/Corruptors/Dominators so they can't help the Stalker as well.

This will mean a lot of toggles though, so make sure you're Stamina/End'recd to the full; and if the AS gets through? Slam them hard with Defiance.

Yes it can. All it takes is a stalker with fly Or even if you fly low enough and wont get out of line of sight.

Not outside Recluses's victory, though.

Ice Armour helps anywhere. Arena battles can take Epics as well.
