Wouldn't work until you all had AS (lvl 6). Then it would be kind of fun, mass assassinations on mobs
Well, i challenge that. Pre - SL6 its going to be difficult but not impossible. In the same way i soloed my DM/EA to 6... Everyone just has to 'scrap' their own portion of mobs.
I wouldn't see why its hard to get lvl 6 anyway 
Its easy with any AT imo 
-Icy^^
I've worked with 4 stalkers and a corruptor and that was great fun, as are three stalker teams. but as the team size grows so do the spawn sizes. You are going to have to carry a lot of awakens since one of you is going to take the alpha stike on each group of mobs and with 8 in the team they could be very big spawns.
You'll end up relying heavily on powers like Teleport Foe to pull stuff from larger groups just to break up the spawns.
Good luck anyway.
Pre-6, your strongest attack works like AS anyway...
if you need a stalker to join in Chap i rolled a lvl 1 dark/ninja the other day. 8 man stalker team should be quite reasonable.
Everyone picks a different minion if there are enough to go round. Each takes his own minion.
Then all congregate on the boss/lts.
I rolled a nin/nin just before I7, he's currently lvl 7.
My first go at a Stalker and I really enjoy it so far.
Sounds interesting about the all Stalker team, if you want a hand give me a shout @Crossfire
I'd say your overcomplicating things and that as long as you don't do anything stupid you'll clean up every group simply by having AS'ed a large enough proportion of them that the rest aren't going to be able to kill you. If you want to be really safe you could makes sure you build in control powers, placate, cobra strike, stun, touch of fear etc. to deal with what's left over after the inital strike but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't just plain work.
Agree with Naboo there. Even pre-level 6, you will wipe out at least a third of each mob with coordinated strongest attack strikes, then the rest should be cannon fodder.
Make a bind like f10 "team Strike NOW", so the whole team pulls off the strike at roughly the same moment, it'll be utter carnage.
DON'T eat muffins while I'm developing you.
Pants! Turkey Magnates! A man in a box! Rogue AI! Come one, come all, to arc ID 10107 - It's [i]'Not as long as some other arcs'[/i]!
I've been thinking exactly the same recnetly and am also mad keen on this.
Thinking about the bigger picture, it seems to me that the differences in the sets will have to comoe out more in anall stalker team. This is what I mean:
Energy: The hardest hitter and very singler target. Will make a good scrapper on bosses as it can do a lot of damage iwth less shots.
Claws: Short animations so a higher DPSS. Will work well with scrapping the minions as it can throw out the damage fast, where as it would get hel up by bosses. ALso has focus to follow up on running minions.
Dark: Debuffs, with lots of nice tricks to help it stay alive. Could work by debuffing lots of minions or tanking bosses (kinda 
)
MA: Lots of little tricks, including good capability at messing the mobs. Another very scrappy one.
Ninja blade: off hand I can't remember if it has divine avalanche... and I don't know that much about it anyway!
Spines: The set that intrigues me the most. It has 3 AoEs, so when slotted with SOs will be able to crit multiple mobs with one, then placate a leut and take it out with assasin stirke (or something 
) and then mop up.
Well it's just some thoughts. THis was quite rushed as I have work now but soething I'd really like to get involved with! So want the spines!
Sweet. Can i ask anyone interested in this team, to get a Stalker to lvl 6 to join my stalker.
I have Dark/Energy.
Ill set a night NEXT week (Commencing 25th June, for our first session.)
This will be a casual thing folks, not intending on playing the guy too hard atm, enjoying heros too much.
Chap.
Which server?
And would be easy to get to lvl 6, as mentioned things like bonesmasher that crits at these levels is on a par with AS. At high levels mobs would fall in seconds, providing the right hitters are in. My EM/EA can kill 3 +3s in no time at all.
With the crazy damage in such a team I would recomend forgoing all the def in EA till overload, you just dont need it unless you intend to scrap and then you shoul be on COH
I have further tips regarding stalkers but prefer to divulge such things in game and with people i team with
**Acceptable "support" responses**
Its your fault
Its your computers fault
Its your ISPs fault
Union preferably, but no issue lvling an alt on Defiant for the space.
Oops. Deleted my lvl 1 stalker the other day (and it had a freespec attached)
No space on Onion at the min so Deviant would be good. But i'll try and figure out something to delete if it's def Onion.
Cool, would love to be in on this. I have a 10 spines/nin on union, but I can always mal down.
I have a Lvl 17 (at time of writing) Dark/Dark Stalker on union. Always happy to join in.
With Build Up, AS and Placate and AS again (I have it 3 slotted with cool down time) thats 2 dead yellow mobs before they get a shot off as a rule, so with 8 stalkers that's groups of 16 dead in 4 moves without a shot being fired by the enemy! Mass Assassination Squad (I'm sure theres a flaw in my plan there somewhere but it works for me solo.)
Give me a shout if you are looking for more stalkers.
I have a level 8 Dark/SR stalker on Union, and I'm loving it, so I might like to join in.
If you could devise, from teh ground up a lvl 1 8 man stalker team, how would you do it? I ask, because its something im mad keen on experiencing.
Although my experience is limited, it does seem certain powersets offer slightly differing playstyle opportunities.
if you considered a CoH archetype set up, where you have an agro taker, a nuker and a couple of boss killers, how could you do this with 8 man stalker?
Of course conventional wisdom suggests you just co-ordinate Alphas out of hide and wipe the floor with everything. However, you will always be left with bosses and a few stragglers... Who scraps them?
It might be that I am over compicating things, and that EM x 8 is the solution?
Anyhoo. My next project might be an 8 man stalker outfit, so if a decent debate can be had, and some conclusions drawn, i may actually try and find the time to set it up.
think the experience could be quite a calculating and strategic afair, which is why it appeals.
Ok, thanks for input.
