I think this proves the devs did a great job with the stalker buffs.


Stalkers do more Single Target DPS/Burst, while Scrappers have better survivablity, and better AOE.

Kudos Synapse, and associated team. The stalker buffs saved my subscription, and I thank you for them.

I am waiting for it too Hush.

Why not just admit that SS is overpowered?

I mean I have never seen anyone prove that it isn't.

I am certain precise Strike has better DPS with its similar cast time. but I don't know how much difference the Achilles would make on Mercurial blow in regard to overall DPS.

In one corner you have Mercurial Blow, 3 sec recharge, 1 sec Cast, Can slot an Achilles proc. In th other you have Precise Strike, 6 sec Rec, 1.18 cast, stuns?.

Unfortuntately I don't have access to the damage numbers...

Which is the better choice? Only one of them can take my build to the prom.

I would recommend Standard softcap for SL and whatever Recharge you can jam in the build.

I also would recommend going Brute with this for the extra AOE in the epics.

Seeing as the last pay set was melee, I didn't expect staff till after the End of March.

I mean its basic logic.

I have it perma on my Dark/Psi/Psi.

If you slot Defense/Recharge Ios in it you can inprove its recahrge time, and you can buff its defense. Mine provides me (I think) 6.68% defense).

My build also has 120% global recharge+Hasten, to make Mind Link Perma and finish capping my Ranged defense.

My main's character concept ended up being used for the Reviler npc from the Talons of Vengence Faction.

I was not amused.

I reported this during beta, as said, they plan on normalizing them later.

You can use any control set and add the IO sets you want to use to any power by editing the database.

I have fearsome stare fully enhanced for -Tohit and recharge, Combat Jumping and ranged softcap with perma hasten so your milage may vary:

Find group, If Shadow Field is available, cast shadow field (unbreakable constraint and Lockdown proc), kill group.

If shadow Field is not available, Fearsome stare (Clouded senses, i don't care about the duration) while jumping forward as land in near the spawn, then Heart of Darkness (Absolute Amazement), killl the group.

I usually pick the best AoE damage mob in the spawn and confuse it as well.

I am dropping haunt as it does not mesh with my playstyle, and I DO NOT care for soloing pylons AVs as fast as possible.


Dark Control is not in the same league as plant, but I consdier it the second best control set, hands down.

Energy
Dark
Psi
Ice
Fire?

Can all make wonderful entirely ranged attack chains single target.
They all need to move to melee to leverage thier pbaoes though.

This is already balanced by the fact that quick anmiation attacks have a lower chance to grant stacks of assassin's focus.

Why do you assume this isn't a bug?

I have to admit I am completely out of the loop here guys.

Say I have a PVP Hold IO, Acc/Recharge level 13.

Can I use Converters to change that to a Gladitor's Armor level 13 3%/-Teleport Proc?


Explain it like I am really really dense.

Full Positional Soft Cap on a corruptor is too high a price to pay on traps.
You want at least perma hasten and full recharge enhancement in Acid Mortor, Seekers and PGT.

Its easy to have both (and pick of epic/Patron) on a defender, but very hard on corruptors.

After Playing dark on beta, I found I perfered Psi.

The Dark PBAOE only seemed to hit 10 targets...
And I am REALLY spoiled by Drain Psyche.
