The ideal stalker-hunter build?
Just tried Spirit Shark for the first time. I must admit, it's satisfying doing BU-AS-Placate-Shark-ET. Hold proc in Shark allows me to finish with ET.
I spammed a lot of sharks last night. Finished the night off by spamming impale in sirens. Apparently blasters don't like impale spam :P
I admit sharks are powerful etc, but the fact that half the stalkers in RV don't know how to use AS is slightly disturbing, i ran into a pair of stalkers on my blaster, i killed one and then the other got me with enough sharks. I then asked them if they knew how to use AS. One of them has it one slotted with an A/D hami, the other skipped AS. . . .

He plays on Freedom, and I have yet to see a Stalker without AS too.

Sadly they do exist.
Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.
You never really notice whether they have AS or not, the thing that tripped me up, the guy w/o AS ran into melee range while I was rooted from shout, and sharked me.

I like it when they run on trops to throw shark. Not get there abandon as then trow it but just to trow it. Happens all the time. Stalker may have more bad players than all the other ats combined playing them in pvp.

Yeah because they come off as being the easiest class to get kills in PvP with.

(I'm annoyed becuase Con's gerbil-hamster avatar thing is staring at me in a nasty tone of voice)
Stalkers, solo, are prolly the hardest AT to get kills on. Sharks basically have a nice 400-1000 damage attached to them, but after that the stalker is pretty much out of tricks, generally. On my blaster specifically, I have ran /regen stalkers into the ground becuase they tried to shark me solo. The only time I find myself getting kills solo on my stalker is when you are 1. Standing still 2. Already damaged 3. I get off a BU+AS+SoulS+AS.
The danger comes from when there are two players a stalker+someone else, becuase of the delay on sharks, gauging the damage becomes rediculously hard, therefore your timing on hibernate is often really bad and a shark kills you. HOWEVER, this is still a case of 1 < 2.
The truth of the matter is that they are indeed the easiest AT to survive open zone with, simply becuase of their hide. Although survivability =/= easy kills. I get easier kills on my blaster, I simply die more on my blaster.
That's why I said they 'come off' as being the easiest to get kills with.
EDIT: Actually.. I'm prob remembering the days of i12 when I say the above comment.
(And yeah that damn thing is always staring at me too)

Ok all theses suggestions are really good. The only thing that tears me up is the talk about stalkers being to strong. But when you think about it thats all we got..... You got to play smarter not harder. Stalkers don't get killed easily cause there not stupid. My only issue as a NRG/SR stalker is i don't fight head to head. Because i know i'm going to lose. Most stalkers know this and would agree with me. We make up in dmg cause our def really does hurt. Regen scrappers are my worst enemy my only hope is a fast kill which does mean popping some heavy reds plus build up. Blasters hurt BAD tanks are annoying and regen scrappers are hard to. For stalkers its all about us picking our targets. EVERY STALKERS KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE COME OUT OF HIDE. I'll let you know a secret..... that is the secret get us out of hide!!!!!!!!! Then we are sitting ducks plain and simple.
Depends on your definition of PvP. I don't think whatever freedom has is...well atleast good pvp.
I only know i like Justice PvP, and i remembering loving champions PvP back in i7 or around there. Virtue was kinda fun too.
I'm gonna switch some toons to another server and try to become their god later
I'll get u back on that question later.

PvP Redux is discontinued, for obvious reasons. Thanks to everyone who helped and joined.

Lets all move to champion.
Yea yea I know be careful what you wish for. But TBH, i need more pvp action and yes I think wrecking noobs (especially from freedom) is fun. Don't judge me.
Honestly. If sentry is killing people on justice, with an elec/therm/mu, theres three possibilities.
He only fites HONR FITEKLUB style.
Fites in arena with insps and DR turned off.
A Majority of Justice zone players are pathetically bad?(Besides Con and mac fo sho)
Most of the better Justice zone/arena people spend the majority of their PvP time on Freedom now. Only time I'm really on Justice for PvP anymore is when there's stuff going on in RV (so almost never) or when there's some scheduled tournament thingy going on.

I'd go for hiber. The hold is situational at best. And I dont know about other people, but I keep a temp phase handy for when I see someone phase out. I've gotten many a kill that way.
You could always slot a hold proc in shark and call it a day.
