Stalkers deal with alot of hate.
Everytime I get a kill I either cheated or I got lucky according to the broadcast.
"You Coward Stalker!"
"All you do is run when you get in trouble or phase."
Why would a stalker phase shift?
It helps me hide and get a crit in much more effectively than placate;
without having to avoid the opponent and jumping away untill the status effect I just left on him wears off.
You'd think they'd appreciate im doing my best to work around the placate bug and staying in there,
not kiteing as a stalker. But no, i get alot of grief for using phase aswell.
I'm sure im not the only stalker dedicated to pvp that has learned to bypass the placate bug
only to get called a coward in private msgs, pvp zone broadcast, and /arena channel.
Well if placate worked i wouldn't take phase, might even try out a patron power.
I just figure stalkers with working placate makes for better PvP all around.
The skill in playing a stalker use to be: fooling an opponent into jumping into a placate AS.
That way you could be curtious feel better about starting a fight with energy punch,
to get the duel started under fair conditions instead of Build Up, AS, ET... even when you dont have the rehide option phase.
I just think it would make for better pvp and decrease the stalker hate
if we weren't forced to get so creative and be so underhanded to get the kill.
It's not like the DEVs have catered much to pvp.
Not like we have a new PvP zone that works like like a mixture of poket D and Warburg
were you can fight everyone and team with anyone at lvl 50 comming in Issue 10.
A pvp bug fix atleast would be nice to see.
