Mmmm, haven't used my Stalker Elec in a while. I thought the main target receives the full damage and the pbaoe part is minor damage with knock down?

Oh I see. It's a Target AoE with only 6 radius. That's why it's hard to hit something "behind" him.

Weird..this could be the first melee target aoe that I can think of. All the other aoe/cone are pbaoe.

Interesting. Thanks for the replies.

The poison hold has 2s activation time. Envenom is kinda fast with 1.33s but Weaken is freaking 2.07s.

By the time you try to debuff small number of targets one by one, the other sets already debuff most of them.

/Poison is far from being a "fast activating" set.

Some people don't like Weapon/Poison because /Poison is a very active set and each time you use secondary, it causes redraw.

It's no more powerful than Brute's Fury increasing Burn's damage. Burn cannot critical on Scrapper (and Stalker) at least and the moment you use Burn, you are going to aggro (even though you may not reveal yourself so the most you can do is to hit Burn and then quickly follow up a regular attack).

Whatever you think that is going to be considered "overpowered" on Stalker is going to be even more overpowered on Scrapper/Brute.

So to answer your question, no, /Fiery Aura will not be overpowered on Stalker. The only thing it may affect is pvp when you hit Build Up + FA + Assassin Strike but Stalker isn't even the biggest threat in pvp. Stalker is only the biggest threat to newbies.

I find it funny that the dev are EXTRA careful when they balance and restrict Stalker performance and yet you have broken set combinations in other ATs that just don't make sense (like soloing pylons with ease. As far as I know, Stalker is one of the worst when it comes to soloing AVs/Pylon. I am not saying it's impossible. I am just saying Stalker is one of the worst).

Stalker can be overpowered? No freaking way. Not with that pathetic low HP cap.

I think the key difference here is Claw. My twin brother had a lvl 50 Claw/Willpower (when willpower first came out) Stalker and at that time, I thought it was Willpower that was keeping the Stalker alive so well but then later I made a MA/Will, and I realized that it is Claw that was keeping me alive more!

Yes, the combination of 100% knockdown from Focus and knockback from Shockwave can really improve your survival.

Knives' caltrops do auto damage so you still take a lot of damage with defense set. With +0x4 setting, I think it favors Claw more than SJ. With SJ, you are better at +3x1. SJ's aoe damage is very small (unless you have patron) so it will take you longer to kill x4.

I am like you though, I never find Ninjitsu THAT great. I have several of them but at the end of day, I prefer Willpower over Ninjitsu.

But what about Freezing Rain and if you get lucky, you can debuff 20% more with AH proc. I think Freezing Rain's 30% resist debuff should push Dominator over the edge?


PS: Any Stalker combo can compete at such high level? lol I doubt it...

You know what, I was going to suggest Ninja/TA MM. Since the OP says survival is not an issue (which is a HUGE issue for Ninja/TA), I believe Ninja/TA can put out some mean numbers on single target with both Jounins at melee range.

And then you brought up Oil Slick Arrow which Oni can ignite with Rain of Fire.

With Ninja, you go with Musculature tier 4 (45% damage), two AH procs from Jounins and resist debuffs from Trick Arrow. Unfortunately, Trick Arrow debuff value is quite low on Mastermind.

The best reason to go with /poison is if you want to pvp. Other than that, /poison is still quite weak. It still lacks protection for 6 of your pets.

Trick Arrow can be good on Robot and Thug, but I would much rather pick /Dark to replace Trick Arrow.

I know!!! I tried to invite new players to my team to show them good time but I can't send them PMs (or rather they can't reply but they can read my messages?)

I used the Search function to find players around my level. I can't tell if they can "reply" or not.

Are "free" players searchable or the results always show vip and premium? It would be nice if the search results don't show "free" accounts because it's pointless to send them PMs and me waiting for their replies... lol


Just my 2cents. I understand the company wants people to "pay" but I just don't know if restricting PMs is a good idea. I see both pros and cons but I think there's more pros in letting people "communicate".

This is not a Mobile Wireless/Telephone company where you need to pay to "talk"! This is an Online Game where you need players to survive and restricting PM is tough to invite new players.
