Solo, it's definitely faster. But in larger teams you get more xp from the larger spawns so it's worth clearing out whole missions. Exactly where the line is, I don't know. It depends on the ATs involved really.

Hmm, true.
Stalker teams can drop mobs quite fast, as long as they have AS. Build Up and Placate also helps, but we get that later 
That feels right somehow...mostly because once the team (the later one all with AS) decloaked, all the bosses were dead and everything else was just easy mopping up. I guess the logic with solo-ghosting is that even though you get less XP because you didn't defeat all the enemies, you can do more missions in the same amount of time as it would have taken otherwise.
So I'm cool with Ghosting as necessary. There are a few missions (like the Goldbricker RocketPack one) that I'd love to be able to speed finish with glee.
By the way, would it be crazy to take something from the Leadership Pool for this? The only alure is that Stalkers give a 35% increase to damage when they use Vengeance. As a stalker meant for a team of stalkers, I figured the buffs couldn't hurt and Vengeance would be splendid for us to have further down the road.

Jumpkick = Awesome. Both me and Lotus took "jumpkick" as a pool power to get the extra attack. What this means is that a lot of prolonged fights looked like a couple of circus acrobats going crazy. As dumb as this ability is, somehow it became cool because we knew we weren't alone with it.

I feel really bad now 
. I respeced Lotus because I realised I needed buildup to take down lieutenants in one go, but with my ranged sheild so early I couldn't fit it in. And when I respecced...I dropped jump kick ...don't hit me!

Aaah cheers
Curse you MoonDog!
:deep breath:
Seriously though, dropping jump kick IS smart. I like it for style reasons but the moment I get a chance to respec I'm most likely going to ditch it too. Well, its either plan on ditching it or buy Air Superiority so both me and my target do nothing but flip around during the middle of combat.
By the way, see you guys tonight. Not sure where to meet: Say in front of the arena at port oakes? I'll be on a little early so if you see me, drop me a line.

I may be a touch late as I need to get some food for sammiches :P

Update: While me fixing my computer took me out of the game early (lag/load times of death---more so than normal), I still had fun.
Particularly when we had the Stalker Trio running at full speed. The game really changes when the whole team is made up of Cloaked killers.
And despite the low numbers, I'm still going to keep doing this.

"who is trying to resist droppping jump kick with that free respec that's coming up"
Yup, was fun :O)
After you crashed we got lowbies out to help radio catch up on his new stalker. I rolled a new stone/elec brute just so I could see the mallets in action.

Man. Sorry about this, but I'm out for this week. I'm currently suffering from the Flu of doom and, well, I think I'm going to be in a sleep-coma when the right time clicks by. Again, sorry about that.

My guess is ohGodTheRats is still ill, although his blog mentioned pc troubles. I'll be leveling my stalker tonight since i'm still lagging behind. So if anyone else fancies joining in give a shout.
edit: once i download the patch. oops :S

Huzzah. My gaming vacation came to an end, AND I was able to run in with you guys by total stupid luck. Not sure where our mojo was...apparently ninjas with arrows are the kryptonite to an all-stalker team.
Also, though I know my stalker is a better character now, I already miss jump kick. Stupid but awesome free respec, making my character actually WORK.

This happening tonight?

I'll be on, although I have changed my character to a more scrappy dark/dark stalker. Her name is Death Adder.

Crapsticks...I'm just logging in now because a) I totally forgot and b) I got kidnapped and taken to a salsa club.
You know, because I can dance. Sort of.
-jared
any happening this weekend? i hope i can sort out my computer troubles till then
I hate to say it, but this weekend I'll definitely be spending my time on Union...the All-Stalker Team is the one that has my "main" that lives on the Defiant Server.
Oh and I hope to see you guys tonight. I won't be able to stay for too long, as I've been pulling too many late-night gaming sessions and I need to save some sleep karma for the Double XP Doom. Still looking forward to more stalker doom though. If memories serves, it's about time we all started living the dream in Cap.

Will be watching the footy on the tv tonight so prob not catch you again this week
Nothing makes up for the most horrifically failed respec mission quite like a 3 or 4 stalker team. Fun as always, guys and girls.
And its less that I'm hooked on Salsa and more that my Salsa partner is going to let me have the computer in copious amounts this weekend. : )
