The -tohit from dark will stack with the Bot bubbles, but then again enforcers have stacking defense too. Tar Patch and burn patches mix well, but both sets do that, it's just that assault bot stays alive longer to do more damage, longer than the Suicidal Arsonist.

Bots look cooler.

I love it when that happens. I always try it when getting to level 2, easiest way to pull it off. Sucks when it's timed wrong and you just level-die though.

Out of all the stalker sets I've played to date, EM/Nin has been the best for a good balance of control/power, with a close-tieing second place of NB/Nin.

The only secondaries I haven't gone far with in fact is /SR and /Regen. I find them both pretty boring compared to the bag of tricks each other secondary has.

the nice thing about stalkers is that they're the melee type that gets to exercise a little control to maintain their survival in battle with /Nin. It pairs well with the stacking stun from EM/, KM/, and MA/, the -tohit from DM/, the -end from ElM/, etc.

Since GR, I've been levelling a KM/WP, which has been a blast, it's been the first time using /WP since my Brute, and it's up there on the popular list with /Nin because it offers a little bit of everything, which Leo's pointed out in better detail.

Another neat thing I've yet to try is the new feature where toggles like Repel from /EnA or Cloak of Fear from /DA now suppress in hide and take affect as soon as you come out of hide, after my KM/ project I'll delve into that a bit more.

For future sets, I'd like to see some more proliferation happen for us, Assassin's Chop with Battle Axe for instance, all that KB/KD would be great to pair wth /Nin's caltrops, and Fiery Melee/Fiery Aura would be a beast of a stalker combo.

*applaudes* Good Job Night!

Always love hearing crazy tales of Stanking!

My fave stalker music would be "Hallelujah Goat" by Volbeat

or "Needled 24/7" by Children of Bodom. \m/

Me and some other Freedom players took him down last night. There was an event message, we headed there, our leader $targetted him for the rest of the team, then he vanished. Once the sun came up, we began killing spectral demons and he came back no problem, but that time there was no event message.

I remember seeing the grindhouse films back to back and when the Machete ad came on, assuming it was some sort of spoof ad, I said" now THAT would be a cool movie"

and so it is, ask and ye shall receive.

omg......finally finally finally!!!!

I totally crit my pants.

Both have a good "rain" attack to pair with Tar Patch. But yah Ice/ would be better for survivability.

On a side note, if you went with /kin, Rad/ is a good combo since a lot of the Rad/ moves are done up close, which you could take advantage of since /Kin's Transfusion and Transference are both work best for you at melee range.

Hello and good day from a fellow saint johnner

yah good call. I suppose with scorpion venom running through you, then you'd have little resistance eh?

and disease dom would be SICK! (no pun inten...nah it's intended.)

Looking back on it I'd switch 7 and 8 actually.

I would love to take this to level 50.

Bug Control
1) larvae Feet- standard ST immob, the hand out animation goes off, and a small pool of black insects forms around the mob's feet and up to the knees.

2) Bug Blanket- ST hold same animation, maybe the throwing animation, but the bugs cover the mob up to the neck, and the mob does the "spazzing on the ground" animation like the Ghouls.

3) Fire Ants- the two-armed grasp animation (like Twilight Grasp), with a pool of insects forming around a group's feet up to the knees for a Targetted AoE immob, with some DoT (Fire?) not just around each individual's feet like fire cages, but a pool of them surronding the group of mob's feet, up to the knees.

4) fireflies- Not sure about the right animation, but I'm picturing a lot like Smoke from fire Control, except clouds of insects over enemies heads. Kills the perception/tohit/accuracy of foes and possibly a bit of confusion, let's say 50% chance to confuse.

5) Beetles- Toggle power. pool of bugs swarms around your own feet and outward in a 10ft circle, slowing those in melee range and doing some DoT. (lethal)

6) Stink bugs- AoE sleep move. Incinerate animation where a cloud of bugs fly from your hands/arms and at the crowd, burst, and cause AoE sleep.

7) Scorpions- Location AoE attack, a group of scorpions run out from your feet and surround mobs in a patch causing Toxic DoT and Fear as well. (wouldn't you be scared?)

8) Spider webs- Arms up like summoning Oni, Spiders come down from top of the screen, and wrap all foes in a group in sticky AoE Hold Spider webs.

9) Swarm- Summon killer bees, like the vial of bees temp power but huge. Toxic Damage

[QUOTE=Fury Flechette;3141369]SoAs have no specific enemies like hero EATs. I would say their downsides are their relatively low hitpoints [QUOTE]

Still more HP than a Stalker...

1606.4 max compared to 2409.5 max, as per paragonwiki.

So long, good luck in the future, from Freedom
Welcome Back, from Pinnacle!

I like being on both, haha

I love the new baby smell!

NOPE! I just brought one over today for the first time, and that was the first thing I noticed. you have ding 20 on blueside

yes, drop Poison trap. you might find that it sucks, and it does.

Not sure. the other day I was on an ITF and the leader scored a Hecatomb, which was cool, but on the next mish I scored an Unbreakable Constraint. All I can say is keep at'r.
