Because Stalkers are a PK Archetype and they are made for zonal pvp, that doesnt mean it requires zero skill to play.

Umm... you sneak up on your enemy. Build Up + AS then follow up with Placate OR just use your powerfullest attack = Target Dead. Sounds pretty easy to me. Or is that because I have 1337 PvP skillz dat killz?

... nope. It's just easy.

Pretty much most of the things in arena would pwn a stalker. Maybe all of them require zero skill to play?

[/ QUOTE ]
And how would being in an Arena be a different? All that has changed is the fact you're confined to a small amount of space depending on the map. Also, I beat my friend's Spines / Dark Scrapper. Yes... that's Spines / Dark. FYI two PBAoE Damage Auras which removed Hide as I went close. I basically had to slug it out and this was before I properly Respec'd my Stalker. And the Spines / Dark player is a damn good player especially in PvP. So I guess since I pwned her, those other things which would "pwn a stalker" in an arena don't require zero skill to play.

Simple. In arena your foe knows that you are coming.
And if you Sneak + BU + AS and kill that easy then your enemy is a nub for standing still. Decent player vs stalker in arena, Stalker -> dead (most of the times).

I was actually quite lucky. I caught her just as she finished using Rest.

Was this on Union because I think I teamed with him!

I find them rather low damage but that is just my opinion. And I did PvP with my Claws Stalker. It was fun. No challenge at all. Just sneak 'n' strike. Then I rolled a Hero and my hatred for Stalkers revealed itself.

Stalkers, in my opinion, require little or no skill to play when it comes to PvP. Well... frankly it's more of an AT for players new to PvP or just total noobs at PvP.

Well we'd want a set that actually has more than three attacks so I'd say Martial Arts or Spines.

[/ QUOTE ]

DM has 4 (5 including the heal)

[/ QUOTE ]

Which is the equivalent to Brawl.

[ QUOTE ]
Claws -> 4-5

[/ QUOTE ]

And Claws for PvP on a Stalker? Who's bright idea was that?


[/ QUOTE ]

For those who like challenge and know how to play

[/ QUOTE ]

Well considering my Claws / Regen Stalker is Level 50 I have to accept that compliment to the fullest! Thank you, Zaldor!

[ QUOTE ]
I dont tank much, but when I do I see my role as protecting the squishies - not running around half the map trying to gather up all the bad guys or hiding in a corner with taunt aura on and a dozen mobs trying to pound my toon into the ground.

Scramble Toughts. Take it, slot it, love it!

2Acc / 2Stun / 2Rech!

End of.

Also, Claws has six attacks, not five.

I was thinking that too but I thought I'd go off what information he gave us about his toons.

For advice I'd say reroll EM >.>

If you want Easy Mode then this is the way to go.

However, if you actually like a challenge in PvP I'd say stick with the sets you have... or just not make a Stalker at all.

If you play your Mastermind, your friend could be any character as Masterminds are more solo characters.

If you play your Stalker, I would recommend your friend be a Dominator for those nice Holds which give you Critical Hits.

If you play your Dominator, well I'd just recommend the same as the above. Stalker / Dominator duo. Holds + Stalker = Stalker does Critical Hits.

Hope that helps.

There is "something" with Thunder Blast. I don't know what it is though. The first four powers are great... then the rest just let the set down until you get Thunderous Blast. This is definitely a Power Set that needs looking at. Compared to the other Blaster Sets, it suxxors... badly. The others have AoEs or powerful single-target blasts. The only powers in Thunder Blast which I would consider taking are: Charged Bolts, Lightning Bolt, Ball Lightning, Short Circuit, Aim, Tesla Cage and Thunderous Blast. Voltaic Sentinel? Whose idea was that?

I spent almost 20 mins this morning Tanking Ghost Widow and Mako, alone, with no support.

I am impressed. You not only managed to Tank Mr. Placate and Assassin's Claw Sharkman but you managed to Tank him along with Miss Magnitude 50 Hold! Although, that's what sort of makes me ask... how DID you survive her Soul Storm?

Having recently rolled a * / Psi Defender, I'd try Scramble Toughts. Six slotted for 2 Acc / 2 Disorient / 2 Rech, you can perma-stun a Boss. Then again, it is a matter of personal opinion. All Psi AoEs / Cones are poop. But if you want to go for one I'd recommened Psionic Tornado as it looks cool, but the damage is poor.

Wow. A thread about "I lost in PvP and I can't take the strain so I'll moan!".

And everyone knows Telekinesis is good in PvP. It is an auto-hit Mag 3 Hold. The Tanker dude is just complaining because someone used it to their advantage.

I've never had trouble with Archus that lasted three hours, but I was on a team (A very good team with good players) where we were wiped out when we charged Archus. It was all due to the huge ambush that came. Then when we all arrived back from the hospital, the ambush spawns had replaced all the spawns we had to kill to get down to Archus. We wiped again. Eventually we did kill him. It just took about an hour.

I think that is the trouble people speak about when doing this SF. The ambush can be really hard to survive at times.

Question: How do you plan on soloing the AV? Yes, a large number of reds will help you deal enough damage, but remember that the AV will also do a lot of damage. Clamour, I think, uses Radiation Blast moves and a powerful claw swipe.

Try get some screens or a video even. I'd like to see how you manage such a feat.

Well you told me what US Servers you were on so if I get a US account it shouldn't be that hard.
