that sounds likea great game jacqueline!!
Oh i know, How about pin the assasination blade on the squishy blaster/mm/dom/Defender/corrupter lol.
Though the funniest is "slow the stalker! drain his end! toggle drop and snipe!"
never seen a stalker in there with my blaster, all I see is "assasin strike" before I face plant.
*picks up the nerf bat and eyes up the stalkers*
Stalkers dont need nerfing, maby the toggle dropping from AS but apart from that they are ok.
PS:to all you Defiant Stalkers, look out for the name Pharcyde and if you see him your time is up 
Stalkers don't like me on Union, I see them and I three shot them, poor ickle things.

you dont see stalkers moaning about people using tactics to see through hide.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha oh boy.
I've lost count of the number of times I've been accused of cheating/insp-popping/etc. on my SR Scrapper when I've gone to play tag with Stalkers (Focused Senses = +Per). Not that I've got anything against Stalkers, mind you, it's just fun to toy with people who think they're safe from attack.
That said, Stalkers seem to come in one of two flavours - very nice, sporting, decent players who enjoy a good fight - or - very immature, angry, aggressive little boys who can't play the AT for toffee. Either way, I can get a large amount of satisfaction from dropping them.

I got called some very rude names for getting someone debt in Bloody Bay. Well, serves him right for bouncing around my snail-slow Stone Brute
Its all to easy to get a bit over excited in PvP.
Only the other day I will admit I had a pop at someone over broadcast. (I wont go into why, I just thought it was a bit of a cheap shot)
But 5 minutes later once I had chilled out a bit I offered them my apollogies and we shook hands as it were.
Its the persistant complainers/arguementors (that even a word?) who annoy me.
To summarise then, once In a while - fine.
Every minute - Bad.

well i was in sirens call lastnight with a a great team of stalkers and a dominator but the one thing i noticed was the amount of people moaning about a stalkers tactics. every few minutes there was abuse being hurled over broadcast that all we do is hit and run and that we are basically cowards. now to me these people may have never played a stalker as much as i have so they cant really comment but i would like to know what you all think?

I suppose it's balanced out because currently from what I know heroes are owning overall, stalkers will help balance things out, and what happens when heroes fly?

This would be one of those flying heroes. 
The -Fly and Immob of Impale is very potent.

I do admit, there were times for me when I thought Stalkers were overpowered. but now I just figure, "If thy're evil, they dont have to lay by that rules" plus, i'm finding it alot easier to fight them, especially with that new temp power that allows you to seen hidden enemies

My stalker seems to be pretty much retired for the same reasons listed above, he is only broken out if there are some fun/decent/annoying players who just have to be killed

Were not over powered....
Spread the word!
I wish I could tell people why and that they would actually listen to my reasoning, yet I think pigs have a chance to develop wings before that will happen..

I take this moment to thank you for breaking your stalker out last night, I had great fun in Sirens with my blaster. It was practically my first long PVP session and I liked it
Earlier on, the zone control seemed to shift to heroes completely after my arrival, but later there were so many stalkers about that fighting became quite challenging
Obivously stalkers had a score to settle with my blaster, getting triple ASed in the back at one point hehe..
As before, I havent perceived stalkers to be particularly troublesome, I wish there were more players of OTHER ATs as well though. Some ATs may need boosting in PVP while stalkers dont necessarily need nerfing. Stalkers CAN be a pain in large numbers, but that would apply to several other ATs as well. Imo fighting two robot/ff MMS at once is tougher than fighting 5 stalkers, Id say..
I dont think I was one-shotted more than once last night, which makes 2 times in total. I think its because I dont stand still long enough for stalkers to get both buildup and AS off.. I think thats ok for someone whose only defense is combat jumping and insp tray..
I have to admit I kept broadcast hidden away most of the time so I don't know if there were many moaners about, but I wasnt one of the moaners, believe me In general there will always be moaners, but ruling out broadcast usually helps a lot However, we should try to make a difference between kids who think they are ubah in PVP with their stalkers straight outta the box, and PVE people who just cannot get into PVP and thus are moaning. The latter people need helping out, not getting laughed at.

When I turned up there were 2 stalkers there, a friend who could be seen as didnt have stealth yet and another who didnt have status protection below 30 and the going was very tough. I did a quick run through my friends list and we ended up with 6 stalkers (not sure why I couldnt find any other ATs )and it became a lot of fun, the hero side worked very well together and the stalkers died plenty of times. You played your blaster well for a relatively new pvp outing as it was mainly down to you that i had to call in the reserves
Broadcast is a two edged sword, i like to chat and have fun with my friends on both sides but it only takes one soiling the airways to ruin the mood for all.

how can you say a stalker needs to be nerfed? a/s makes up for our poor defence and hp.
Because stalkers can kill my char before I can react, if there was a struggle without me having to pop every insp I own just to stay alive let alone do some meaniful damage I might agree with you.
I have snuck up on a stalker, hit them with buildup flamethrower, slug and full auto (my most powerful opener) and couldn't get them under 65% health. Considering Blasters are supposed to be the most damaging AT is that balanced? Maybe AR is just particularly weak in PvP.

Yes, you can. If you can fly too. I can't.
As I have Impale I decided to do without fly and have become pretty useful at hitting someone with impale and judging where they're going to crash land, so that I can be there waiting with placate and AS.
Not sure I buy the theory that stalkers never moan about stalker counter measures. Thankfully the vast majority are good natured but there are still plonkers around who choose to play as a stalker. If you dont want to take up my last suggestion you could use ignore, I've been using it a lot recently and I'm having a lot more fun.
hehe stalker bingo. LOL @ mellon!
