Returing back from a long break and going from Hero to Villian, would like to be more of a PvP'er. but can't decide if I should be a stalker or Dom. I have one friend said go Dom and the other stalker. I've played both and love both play styles, but was looking for feed back from people who played them more.

thank you

Both are fun to play and can PVP but somthing youvshould keep in mind:

Stalkers: Are more like the Hit and hide type. Get your 2 hits, AS, etc.

Doms: Can have pets and can deal some pretty hard damage.

It's really up to you. I have a lvl 30 Dom and that's it. But I also have a lvl 50 stalker I PVP with. All Fun. ( Keep in mind powersets do matter in PVP )

Thanks..I think I may role a stalker, reason is on the Hero side most of my toon was blaster type, playing melee for a change is kinda fun. The stalker I'm testing is a Ele/Reg.

Just keep in mind that doms play different from blasters. Sure they do good damage, but their main weapon is CC and disruption. If you don't play it smart and attempt to go in face rolling with all guns blazing like a blaster would you will quite possibly get wrecked.

If you don't focus so much on the range aspect, and break it down to play style, you will find that stalkers actually play more like blasters. They both hang out in the sidelines waiting for an opportunity to go in for a kill or spike someone. Doms' job is not so much to be a main damage dealer as it is to be a pain in the *** to as many people as possible.

Although a Stalker is a melee AT, I mostly play mine at range in PvP (Spirit Sharks).

lol - such a harsh crowd...

Personally, I'm partial to Stalkers for a few reasons:

1> They're "safer" - I hate dying more than I like killing. With capped Stealth,
I pick and choose battles under my terms - I don't have it dictated to me.

2> I love the element of surprise. For me, the challenge isn't actually getting
a kill - it's the cat-and-mouse maneuvering to set a kill up...
That's a pure playstyle element that most other AT's don't have so much...

3> Stalkers are universally: reviled or ridiculed. There aren't a lot of "gray"
opinions on them, so it's part of the fun when a kill generates the "QQ" effect.

Those are just my thoughts on it, and I don't have a knock on any other AT's,
I just happen to find Stalkers more fun... and fun is what it's all about...

Michael disappeared. He flew up into to sky to do a system list check and never returned.

Now it´s dee and his jetpack squadron terrorizing the sky. There's also some trio of stalkers with actual flight that has rp binds on sharks.

Please come back barrier.
