In the excitement of announcing the many features of Issue 13: Architect we included a reference that the Shield Powerset would be accessible to the Stalker Archetype. This is actually not the case. Shields were always intended to be a melee set, but not for Stalkers. Stalkers work more from the shadows, making lethal strikes to quickly overcome their targets and the concept of doing so from behind a shield doesnt quite fit.
Our apologies for any confusion that this reference may have caused. Weve updated the Issue 13 announcements to remove Stalkers from the Shield Powerset list. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
