L47 Power for NB/Nin PvP Stalker


ConFlict

 

Posted

I've been mulling this one for awhile, so the opinions of some PvP Stalkers
would be helpful.

The 3 powers I'm debating are:

Shark Jaws (the hold -- "Trow Sharks" is already in there)
Hibernoob (it already has Phase, will this add much?)
Blinding Powder (is this even useful in PvP?)

I posted here rather than in the Stalker forum because I'm only
interested in the PvP value of these powers.

So, PvP stalkers out there, what are your experiences with these 3
and how would you rank them in terms of PvP usefulness? Also, what
slotting would you recommend for your top pick here?


Thanks in Advance,

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.
For every seller who leaves the market dirty stinkin' rich,
there's a buyer who leaves the market dirty stinkin' IOed. - Obitus.

What puts this power ahead of the other two in your mind?

I'd guess (wrongly perhaps) that the sleep wouldn't be much more effective
than the Shark hold.

The -perception is nice, but on a capped stealth build, it's not too much
of a problem already.

Is the confuse all that helpful given only a 50% chance to invoke that effect
(although I admit it would be Big Fun on /Dev blasters)?

I'm genuinely curious to know your rationale for this pick.

Confuse is op. The other two choices are meh. Its a cheap set of purples that add good +rangded def.

I went with Blinding Powder and so far (in PvE with just the base slot) it's
kind of amusing...

I've got bids out for the Coercive Persuasion set IOs, but haven't had much
luck getting any so far (not many for sale, it seems).

In the interim, I'm putting in Malaise's set (which has similar bonuses), but it
does raise a question. I think I know what the answer is, but would like
confirmation whether I have it right or not.

Malaise's includes a Chance for Damage proc (Psionic) in it.

I assume, if that proc actually fires/hits that it will:

A: Break Hide
B: Negate the Sleep of the power

Obviously, both of those would be large drawbacks for that particular IO
in that power...

Can anyone confirm whether that is the actual behaviour?
