    Why do you wnat them as Scrappers or Brutes by the way? The AoE damage, the higher durability or something else? Aren't they losing something a bit ninja-ish by not being Stalkers?
    Scrappers are a much better AT than stalkers.

    I have two Nin stalkers, fully maxed out. The day they release Ninjitsu for scrappers I am going to reroll them
    as scrappers, strip them out and transfer the IOs to the superiour AT.
  2. Any chances this is on the To Do list?

    Ninjitsu is such a thematic and powerful set, I would love to roll my two Ninja Theme toons as scrappers/brutes but loosing blinding powder, smoke flash, caltrops and the wonderful Themed Poses are too much.

    Any plans for this proliferation in the near term future?
  3. Put a debuff (Example pick any spines or ninja blade attack) on a target then placate it.

    Placate doesn't work when a debuff is on your target.

If you're a def based secondary, it's even nice in solo EV or AB fights for the -tohit.

    It still makes little thematic sense that it's only effective when you don't kill someone outright. If anything I'd think the guy's friends would be MORE afraid when I just pop out of nowhere and instantly kill their boss.
    I can't tell you the last time I used AS on a team.

    Much better to open up with AoEs.
  5. Tank doesn't know how the game works.

    Bind on pickup ftw.
    Thankfully, I rolled Spines and Elec Melee stalkers, so solo farming won't be THAT bad.

    I do feel sorry for single target stalkers though.
    Castle pretty much confirmed there will be no change in the stalker situation for the forseeable future.

    Can anyone make a convincing argument why a team should take a staker over a brute or scrapper at this point?
  7. Thank god I play Elec and Spines ninjitsu stalkers.
    I can see ALOT of solo farming to complete incarnate builds in the future for them.

    This post is pretty much:

    Stalkers underperform relative to brutes and Scrappers. Not enough resources are available to fix the issue as the dev team sees them. Good luck stalkers.

    I guess its accepted that there cannot be made a convincing arguement why to include a stalker on a team instead of a brute or scrapper. I personally will stop trying to convince people to team with my stalkers.


    I guess that is just ok.

    EDIT: Oh and placate bug is just never getting fixed now is it?
  8. Do you get mad when you see things in RL you can't afford too?
  9. With prices on some purples hitting 700+ mio this weekend...

    I may need to change my position.

    Good lord.
  10. I use the Leaves aura as Lotus petals on my Ninja Characters.

    Just remember that Alignment Merits are probably going to be tied into the end game content including Incarnate slotting etc., so reward merits may be considered as legacy as SOs are today.

    They can't factor into the End game progression system too deeply because Rogues and Vigilantes cannot earn A-Merits.

    They aren't going to close out the side switching aspect of the game to End game players, now are they?
  12. Zero. Either windfalls or bought off the market.

    I am farming A-merits but for a rainy day (I guess).

    I didn't even use A-merits for the standard IO sets I needed. Found it was faster to just market my way there.
  13. It was more that I didn't have time to level the toons.

    I usually had my banker alts filled to the brim with Sets waiting for the target toon to hit 50.

    I just can't do the marathon leveling sessions I used to.
  14. I still don't get the "Prices are too high thing"

    I went from Zero (I did have 2 purpled toons to use to generate income/stuff to sell) cash to 3 additional fully purpled toons in 3 months.

    Yeah I am an experienced Marketer, but are things really that bad?
  15. Peter Themari.

    The man is pure evil and totally underutilized.
  16. Its Odd. I was testing this yesterday and they wouldn't overlapp, but now they do.

    I MUST HAVE SKIPPED DIMENSIONS.

    Or I am not very observant. Thanks both.
  17. I was worried it was going to be like Triage Beacon which despawns when you cast another.

    Damage Dealers

    Fire/traps
    Ice/Traps
    Traps/Ice

    Nothing beats these solo.

    All three of those can hit permahasten, while also being able to have soft capped ranged (defenders can get softcapped to all by 30!).

    So if you want lots of damage, and the ability to TANK (Seriously) at the same time.

    Traps is the way to go.
  19. Or does it despawn the first when you try to cast it again?

    WTF Purples?

    I never understand posts like this.

    Purples are super affordable.

    I came back with Issue 18, I was broke as I had given most of my cash away before leaving.

    It took me a month to fully IO w/4-5 purple sets 3 toons.
  21. I just hope the materials to build incarnate slotables are transferable.

    Even though my stalkers are well built (Multi billion builds), and are better than 90% (Yes made up statistics, but I am confident) of the scrappers in the game, I just can't seem to get them on STFs and RSFs with any regularity.

    People just rather take the SO scrapper than the Min/maxed IO stalker.
    Its just reality.

    So I hope that I can use my other "More acceptable" toons like my dom, my huntsman and my defender to farm materials so I can work on my perfered but hated stalkers.
  22. Gearscore is why I quit and will never return to WoW.
  23. What I wanna know is if Arcanatime travel is possible?

    So you are telling me that you have never seen someone recruiting for a LRSF/STF, say asking for "Damage" and turning away stalkers?

    Never? What server do you play on, I gotta take note for the next free transfer week.
