Quote:One of my favorites, I just said that to a Tank the other night and got no response.a tanker says 'Wow, it took three stalker AS's to kill me!'
LOL, seriously, your a tanker! Aren't ya supposed to be hard to kill? Now if you want more survivability, roll a regen scrapper.
Also, if I had a dime for everytime someone says "lol flying pbs lol" as they type it from the hospital. -
Quote:1. nrg/ is a hard hitterI currently have a lvl 10 Energy/Nin stalker and was woundering if a electric/willpower stalker would be better for zone pvp. I am also woundering what the pros, and cons, of each different set are for zone.
I thank all who reply to this post and have a happy holiday.
2. /nin seems to perform well, but I just asked recently and u can get an idea how DR affects it with this:

3. elec/ is a heavy hitter as well, partly because of the way the crits work
4. /wp is good with little investment & because of all the built in tricks (+perc, kb protection, ez +HP etc)
Check the PvP section for better insight. -
Quote:While I "see the soul" of your comment and agree with playing something you enjoy, just be prepared to be disappointed in PvP with your Stalker's performance if you pick primary & secondary sets that aren't geared towards that kind of play. You can pretty much make anything work in PvE with the right investments, but that concept doesn't apply to the current PvP mechanics. Same can be said for any AT though; probably why one of the tanks you mentioned PvPing with is SS as opposed to say Warmace. Rage goes a loooong way as far as performance in PvP is concerned....dont be fooled or drawn in by hear say on whats good...you decide...and for the love of GOD...leave Mids out of it,....numbers count for nothing....if its not a ejoyable set past the numbers...youll never excell at any of them...The player makes the set...not the other way around....

Quote:This.I was farming with spine/nin on sos when the level cap was 40. Damn solid toon.
I was on a Nemesis farm recently with a Spines/Nin Stalker and was surprised when he ran it like a champ. I looked and he was heavily IOd, but didn't know they could be so effective; good times. -

Jonny, Trance, Epsilon...appreciate the info. Keep on driving on.
-
What #s are you shooting for as far as melee and ranged defense on your /Ninjitsu Stalker? Just curious what it looks like before and after DR; thanks in advance.
-
Seldom and Edana...thx a lot for the information; appreciate it.

Working on making one of every villain AT (for PvP mostly) and finished Stalkers last week. Looking at Doms now and wanted to get advice on what to make. Ive seen a lot of Mind/Fire running around and some Fire/Fire as well. What are the pros/cons of the following:
/Elec
/Nrg
/Psi
Thanks in advance. -
Thanks for the help 4 and Ill take a look at your suggestions. 1st time posting in the Stalkers forum and noticing a lot of unanswered posts now so had given up. I was basically looking at slotting general IOs and waiting til lv50 to do sets, but I wanted to softcap defense now, hence the few sets I put in this build early on.
Thanks again man. -
Quote:Thanks a lot, good to know.Rikti Drones do not have increased perception. Instead they are coded to ignore stealth completely. So there is nothing you can do about them. Same with Knives of Artemis.
Nemesis snipers however, you can sneak past with hide.
PvE for a stalker there is no advantage to more stealth. -
Another Stalker question...can you up your hide so as not to be seen by enemies with extra perception like Rikti Drones etc?

Decided to play one of every villain AT and I'm on Stalkers. Made a Spines/Ninja and currently at lv35. Usually play ranged toons but want to give this a run to lv50 with basic IOs cept for a cpl of sets to get soft capped on defenses. Let me know what I can do better and thanks in advance:

Quote:PvE Stats:WNades and Caltrops VS Entangling arrow and Glue arrow?
I know that entangle has a quicker animation than WG, but is it quicker enough to make up for draw time? also traps dosent root me, what of TA?
Danke
Webnade - mostly -50% movement/recharge & -fly; cast time 1.37sec
VS
EArrow - mostly -10 movement/recharge & -fly, cast time 1sec
Both on 4sec recharge, /TA has slightly better range and acc.
Caltrops (melee) - 45sec timer, 25ft range, -80% run with an afraid component
VS
Glue Arrow (ranged) - 60sec timer, 60ft range, -90% run with a -fly/jump component & -20% recharge
I play both at this point and really depends on what you want to do. /Traps is a more solo friendly set; if you're taking the time to set up all the gadgets, teams tend to roll right past all of that. Good survivability with everything running.
/TA has good viability either way with a lot of -res/-def elements and good survivability with everything firing. -
"Specifically in this case I was talking about my fire blaster. He's my only toon that's actually IO'd...just no purple or PvP sets. But I do have a really strange build. I guess I can share it with you guys. Basically I'm a big fan of range, so instead of slotting my 2 attacks (flares+blast) with IO's I slot them with HO's. Currently I got them both slotted like this:
1 acc/dmg HO, 2 dmg/rng HO, 2 acc SO, 1 proc
This way, I can outrange pretty much everybody in the game, since no other blaster I know slots his attacks with range HO's over IO's."
Until recently, I pretty much had mine slotted the same way Max:
1xNucleolus, 2xCentriole, 1xHold proc, 1xpvpIO-chance of tox & 1xApoc-chance of neg dmg. With a cpl of the lesser expensive pvpIOs here and there, you can get some +rng as well. -
Nothing says "more evil plz" better then a PB on redside.

Quote:My bad, jokes can be fun. I agree with you, but also the intrawebz must make people paranoid as well b/c I never tried to insult you or draw any conclusions on your character (I don't know you to care that much either way). I'm sure you probably dont have time, but feel free to read my original post again. I simply see a lot of the pros on here being critical instead of helping is all.Never took it personally, if , by any means you did.
You drew conclusions of my character based on a post, in which WAS A JOKE. I understand jokes sometimes get jumbled in intrawebz, but, srsly?
You may not know what my character is and most likely never will, I would however prefer if you would cease to trying to insult me, becuase, quite frankly, I don't think you could fail any more at it.
PS, saying "Don't lolenergy me" Is about as equatable as the cartoon scenario of "Don't press the red button"
Even though you seem to think I was attacking you, I wasn't and very cool how all the elite came out to lend you a hand. Bottomline is, if you never LOLd at someone for being new and looking for guidance in the PvP forums...I totally apologize. -
