Question about Electric stalkers


Ishaila

 

Posted

I was looking around for a electric stalker guide and havn't found one yet. Proabably because it was added last issue I think? Or just that I can chalk it up to my horriable searching abilites one..lol. I have a question about their secondary damage, the descriptions say that each of the primary attacks has a chance to sleep the enemy, but thus far I haven't seen that happen yet. is that my bad luck or is the sleep broken, or does it work but I'm just not seeing it? Thanks!

It does, but its so miniscule, I believe its if you ever see them shake from the Jacob's Ladder, thats the 'sleep'. I think anyway, electric melee is mostly noted for its Aoe Capabilities, and -end drain, and end return to you.

The only one right now is in my sig and on the last page of the Stalker Guides section (hasn't been added to the list yet ).

Ishaila is correct; when your opponent spazzes out for a bit after you have hit him, that is the sleep. As soon as you have hit him again, however, he wakes up, so the effect is largely useless to you. What it does mean is that you can slot sleep sets into the attacks for some cheap early level frankenslotting. Note it is only the first three attacks in the set that have the chance for sleep.

thanks guys. I'll admit that one of the key reasons I wanted to try it was to experiment with the idea of a pseudo placate. The description has the sleep length as about 5-8 seconds on the three I think and I was thinking that if you could hit and sleep then stop attack, you could theoretically slip back into stealth while they slept. I don't think it would work in practice but that was the idea at least. Of course the same tactic could work for energy if indeed it worked at all.
