This!!! And Ill explain.

DnD mentality!!! (Or WoW) Rogues...which this class feels like in many or all aspects of combat (Other than disarming traps etc) has burst damage on surprise, but limited armour (Canadian...so sue me)...and cant handle the brunt of an Alpha. Some can, if built that way,but many people, including me come to this AT with the concept of the DnD rogue. Which is an excellent class build on bursty goodness. The only concern is with a group. Alone they are amazing, usually because they pick their targets very closely.

However, when in a team with a tank and others one sometimes forgets exactly what they can do, and considering this is (From my understanding) mainly a villains AT, a Brute can hold aggro but not like a tank which leaves the Stalker being the next object of doom fore most enemies.

But now I argue the issue of aggro. To say a Stalker is not more desirable than a Scrapper depends. If a tank can hold Aggro better than a brute, would a stalker not be more efficient in a hero based environment. I mean, they have mega damage, and the tank takes the brunt, or the blaster, because technically the burst damage by the Stalker will be out classed by the Blaster who will, or can draw aggro off the tank easier due to consistant damage.

Ah...Im drunk....(Or as we Canadians call it...NormaL)

I ramble. The point is. The issue with group Stalking is a Stalker role. You are not meant to take the Alpha. You are meant to hit the hardest enemy the hardest you can, and then Scrap it out with Scrappers! It's your burst that makes you special.

Although I think you are all special!

I wont disagree with anything you have said, but I think a well placed Stalker is in fact a great tool for a team. Scrappers are excellent, but I wont sneeze at the Stalker because it has solid merits, but that being said, experienced Stalker players know whats going on and when to strike.

I for instance see a lot of Elec doms/controllers wondering why they die right away. Chained fences is amazing, but like the Stalker itching for the first blow, it gains them the fortunate benefit of the Alpha Strike. Yay!!!

Im saying, Let the tank or tankier types do their thing. You will still dish damage or control, just not as much as some others, but knowing your role in a group is important. I learned that with my dark/dark Stalker and more my Widow. Im not a tank, can't take the alpha, should be taking it unless Im teamed with those who are less tankier than I am.

Yes. I would agree that they have a "Right out of the Box" goodness to them. I don't feel lacking. Which is refreshing, because sometimes I feel that way about my other AT's.

Widow is just a really enjoyable change, just because she is effective for solo and group play.

This has nothing to do with this thread at all.

I just really love the name Joan of Arkansas

I thought this as well. Night Widows are a good example. Fortunata, Crabs etc. Im newly working on a Warshade so I wont comment there, but it seems Assault/Defense is available upon unlock.

However, the Dom assault Style as primary with a Defense based secondary would be great, although I feel as though it would either dwarf the blaster, or be very tank mage oriented.

Im not disagreeing with you. But if no ones around, no one would know that the man was dying. I make jest of course.

I like Red. I have always liked red in many cases more than blue. But I enjoy teaming more than either side, so you go where you get the most bang for your buck
