Spreading AS is good.


Cover Girl

Hi. You all know me as that stalker that is always AS'ing. Why I have sharks I do not know, but the fact remains that I do have sharks. It seems today that there are a lot of ranged characters jumping around out there. They all have 1 thing in common. Rebirth!!! It's like this magical heal that seems to be the lifesaver/panic button. As a stalker on a team your role is simple. Target every single ranged toon and hit them 1 by 1 with AS. Typically the player will smash rebirth and be out of heals, leaving them vulnerable to your teams firepower and your ability to placate and AS again. How should you go about this? I'm glad I asked. The tab button is an amazing player/npc finder. Lock onto your target and fire away. And don't even bother with build up unless you are going in for the kill. The main objective is to make them rebirth. But in all honesty. I go for the kill every time all the time. It just turns out that I'm spreading AS over a lot of targets. Some say it's skill, but I just call it hide.

oh one last thing....this attack chain works pretty well. AS+placate (during this moment the player hits rebirth) BU+AS+Judgment (pop a few reds here and there never hurt anybody)

and if you ever see a wounded enemy. Just finish him before rebirth is recharged.


Kill the enemy. Take their souls. Drink their blood.

You are a stalker with AS? How unique? I'll have to check into this!
the real mystery is why you are posting on the forums teaching people how to pvp

I would disagree.

A stalker's role is contributing to the spike, not making a player waste his/her heals. If a stalker uses AS at the same time a blaster shoots his attack chain, it won't matter how many heals they have up or down.

If a stalker is running around, randomly ASing targets (including me), I do not consider them a high threat, but moreso a bit of disruption. I believe disruption is more suited for other characters (Ranged or with taunt) then stalkers.



Stalkers need to be more patient and wait until a target is called and they have a chance to contribute to the spike (With AS).

I would say Stalkers need patience and movement technique more than anything.


If you are a stalker running around in RV on freedom (or Virtue), please join a team, wait for a target to be called, and try to AS that target. That is the best suited role for a stalker.

That approach is almost... almost... almost smart, until you realize that whoops. Most teams are running at least incan and random AS'es to targets do nothing as 1-2 greens with no HD heals them.

Lock on targets and get in on damage spikes, Random AS'es while teaming is bad.

I see what you are saying HP about the AS. Alot more people now are playing ranged toons that never get in melee range so the sharks have to come into play some where. As far as get a team that is fine if you are villian on freedom but for some unknown reason the heros on freedom don't seem to like to team, which imo, is only hurting themselves. I have seen though a take over as of late on freedom that a bunch of villians on MMs have pulled together and seem to have found a way to make the heros cry more than normal. That is funny. I would also say that there is a limited few heros that pvp on freedom that even come out to fight and to them hats off. The rest seem to just want to hide until the numbers are in their favor and then some don't even venture away from their base. In that respec As them when you can make them waste that heal and when the MMs are gathered just join in the fun.
