Try TS, HD, TK, stalagmites, AS does no dam, etc etc etc! You need to prioritize yourself or get lost!

Not to mention i've gone on record to fully support the PVP community in the removal or TS and HD and will continue to do so.


Thread Read Fail.

That said, my particular stalker (NB/Nin) does not *have* a ranged attack unless
I use Sharks or Nemmie Staff.

Maybe if something like Caltrops actually worked in zone - I wouldn't need one.
Of course, that's why everyone takes SJ/SS, so they can completely ignore
them.

So, your answer then is - pick another powerset, noob...

Right, and *that* more than anything is what is wrong about PvP - most powersets
are crap in PvP - which is why you typically see the same 1/2 dozen ATs.

That brings me full-circle to - devs need to fix (or delete) PvP...

It's not about this or that power - it's about a seriously crappy system and
implementation in the first place...

So, your basic premise then, is if a stalker has to have tri-level stealth to even
have a prayer in SC - that's ok by you.

If a Stalker has to try to get an AS off (that won't actually kill anybody), from visible
melee range, without it getting interrupted by movement or aura against a fast
moving target, that's ok with you.

If a Stalker can't even use a follow-up attack due to not having ranged powers,
that's ok with you.

But if a Stalker spikes you with Sharks, that's game-breaking and you feel a
compelling need to scream "Foul!" to the devs and call for a nerf...

Ok - I think I have a pretty clear understanding of your whiny position now...

Carry On.

This is why people roll spines stalkers and now KM stalker. You have to make a choice. It's the basic premise of any mmo.

To quote Ares here,

Whine because something needs a fix? Then I guess the rest of the PVP community needs to stfu about CS, psy blasters, placate procs, tk, regen, HD, TS, DR, stalagmites, and a host of other things.


Way to avoid logic once again though. If you want a ranged stalker, you certainly have that option.

Do you think travel supression should be removed from City of Heroes pvp?

Thus why I usually pick up Sharks, so that I may 'range' in any combat (Pvp/Pve alike).

Yes, I can get a moving AS off on you, but to follow that up I would have to basically pray that you get stuck on a fence or giant rock somewhere so that my dark melee can at least get into range or hope that you do something very stupid to get a second AS on top of the first if you have not already 'evaded/healed' in the process; and please tell me that you do evade/counter when you get striked, otherwise that's just another face palm altogether.

I did not say Sharks was not OP, it does deal a good chunk for an 'Epic' pool, but like I said before, learn to adapt to your environment; just like how everyone else has to in a pvp zone.

Just saying, there are worst things out there than a hungry shark, the fullscreen view of Mother Mayhem for example.. psh, just get TK (if you can at that level?) and hold that sucker down, then see who is having fun now, because it sure isn't that stalker.

This is once again MY personal opinion, just like this 'nerf' is YOUR personal
opinion.

Don't get upset, bro.

I don't care whether sharks gets nerfed or not so stop saying that. Just move it.

I run around in sirens when i'm bored. I die when i drone myself.
Getting kills isnt an issue either since most squshies has no res armor in there so you don't really need sharks.

Also if you look at your buffbar/tohitrolls sharks isnt that much of an issue unless you are low on health and have no greens.

So you want me to redo all six of my stalker's builds because you had a bad Jaws experience as a kid? Sounds more of a hinderance to me.

Nerf:
To weaken or make less dangerous.

You want to 'move' a power so that it is 'less' dangerous to you in a zone, still a nerf my son.

More request's for power's to be nerfed is sad. PVP is in the state it is now because people crying for nerf's since it was to fast for the so called casual player who never step's into an arena match or zone.

I dont have shark's on my stalk because I really dont need it, and im not knocking anyone who does. The fact is stalker's are really not a threat even with shark's. Plus it's not like the DEV's have any intention of fixing broken or op powers anyway so deal with it.

So why complain about it ? KM scrapper's and CS which is OP as hell does some serious damage on a AT that is more surviveable. It is what it is, plus like metioned before stalagmites in a lowbie zone is a done deal aswell.

ALL I REALLY WANT IS TO BE ABLE TO GET SCRAPPER LVL HP ( 1800 im not greedy lol) ON MY FORT SINCE THEY TOOK THAT HELLISH NERF TO DEF AND DMG : )

These are pretty much facts if you don't have ****** builds.

I'm telling you man, those sharks are way over powered, especially when those pesky stalkers aren't on cue.

Oh wait, was I suppose to be mad?


Give me a sec.. nope.



By the way hun, just because my team isn't the 'best' does not mean I don't have a voice in the matter.

So a power that is now being used in a zone it was never intended to be used in just so you don't have to be inconvenienced is acceptable to you? The fact that you have six Stalkers tells me you are more interested in protecting your self interests than in protecting what little integrity PvP may have left. Try to be a little less selfish, m'k?

I vote yes! Yes they should!

Also... from reading this thread I can see that I'm starting to rub off on some of yous.

On Topic: LOL @ Stalkity Stalkers in SC.

To the OP: In the future... I'd encourage you to start a thread that requests advice on dealing with the change... before making one that assumes the change is incapable of being dealt with.


"Situational power? Sure. Although in a sense... all powers are situational. It's just that some situations occur more than others." Understand the situation needed in order for the power to be most effective... and make that situation happen.
