it would take a lot of money to bribe a dev to get rid of DR. If you maxed out everything in order to get ranged def bonus, the rest of ur toon would suffer considerably. Tbh, a stalker doesn't really need def, nor does it need the fitness pool. Stay at least 10ft away from veats, and when you feel like it BU+AS, invis then run. The second you break hide, you should be escaping to get into hide again.
I'm guessin you left around i13, the game is drastically different from then. I took one of my pve blasters that is softcapped s/l, just to see what a softcapped blaster's def becomes after DR, once I got into RV my s/l def went from 45.6 down to 18.6.....the same will happen to ur stalker if you try to softcap his def.

It's not that bad for Stalkers. Blasters have a Defense soft cap of 20% in zones, where as Stalkers soft cap is 40%. Still not great but it's doable. Thanks to DR it will take ~70% PvE defense to reach that 40% in zones however, which could get expensive to do with IOs. SR really isn't the cheapest set to PvP with these days.
So, it's pointless to soft cap a stalker for PvP because of DR and it would gimp my build?

Blasters, trollers, fenders, corrs, mm's, and doms get whacked with the DR bat the hardest.
also since DR hits def so hard SR is sub par for pvp. The two best in pvp for stalkers these days is wp and regen, I would put Wp in first bc they can cap perception bc of in set + perception bonus. Regen stalkers are just ridiculously hard to die on. You have to be a little more careful with a wp stalker bc they don't have dull pain.

Positron's i13 letter: We are trying to make PvP more accessible to new players, while giving experienced PvP'ers the advantage that comes with formulating tactics around the new systems we're putting in place. PvP from now on will be on our priority list. If something isn't working out, we'll be in there tweaking it and making it work, for the entire future of the product, not just Issue 13.

I've been out of the game for awhile and i was just curious as to what it would take and prefferbly how much money it would cost me to soft cap my EM/SR stalker, maybe even a build i can go off of to? Thank you!
