Crap - reading this thread has made me a bit nervous, being new to the game and choosing a Stalker. :s

Two easy things to overcome this nervousness:
1) Play smartly, regardless of the AT
2) Avoid Shamster as much as possible. Especially while playing a Stalker.

I've already forgotten about most of you

If you're still learning the game, suggest looking into a scrapper or brute. A bit more forgivable of mistakes, both on teams and in solo. Also, avoiding Voodoo is usually a good idea.

He missed the AS. So his strategy was to wait till it recharged and try again.

Against. A single. Minion.

If I recall, don't Stalkers stay hidden if they miss a hit while hidden? Therefore if they used any of their other attacks they would have still gotten a critical strike.

That is something I have noticed of "new" stalkers, they don't read their power-info to discover that ability: Criticals, especially coming out of hide with powers that guarantee 100%. Heck, if a stalker actually fights *with* the team I do believe they by chance alone have the ability to out-crit a scrapper with the 3% per teammate buff.

When I play my Stalker, I play like a scrapper, I love the fact that that we get Crit Hits even when not hidden, I remember when we would only get Crit Hits if they were held, or we were hidden, I'm glad the Dev's fixed that.

Ham, next time you're running something redside, I'm bringing Icepick. You need to be around someone who knows how to play the AT.

Doesn't something have to be true, in order to be a "fact"? Not just a jaundiced point of view? Or did they change things on me again.
