I said the same thing in a previous topic Zeph and it's happened to me a few times since...

Yup, multiple clicks of As is an end killer, which can break us in battles when our end unexptedly disapears and all of our defensive powers shut down. '>.>

and after reading that topic the otherday about mobs seeing through me...i's ben happening ever since ;_;... yeah we're bugged alright.

Ambush crowds can also see through Stealth, because it's like they come into the mission with you targeted as default. siomtimes I enter a mission and Ambush crowds are expecting me, and this is of course all under Stealth, so I don't think it's a bug per say, and even if it is, I deal with them just fine.

Although I've never had trouble in groups with people firing at my enemies, heck a Stalker should never be initiating the attack anyway, especially in a group.

I respeced it out, I was hoping I could use it to AS the boss and then loose the aggro fo the boss and the surrounding mobs, but the animation time is too slow, and I'd be slaughterd before I could even throw it down.

It's utterly useless in PvP, did absolutly nothing when used it.

Otherwise when I did use it, it was nice to the aggro go, but it didnt always work 100% of the time...

Broken move? Hell yes.

So it does happen in PvP, but more importantly it happens on PvE too.

I'm a Lv 33 Stalker Ninja Sword/Ninjitsu on the Union serever, and after getting GDF for the first time I must say I'm really impressed with this move, it does nice damage, and is wonderful back up for my AS. >=D

However, I notice whenever I perform the attack on a downed enemy it fails to record damage, or even a miss, I just do the animation and loose the end for it. Is this a bug, and has anyone else had this issue?
Also, I've yet to try this atatck on PvP to see if it has this major disfuction...

Does anyone else find that AS doesn't always work on the first try?

Somtimes I'd get into the stance and then he'd cancel out even though the enemy is inches infront of me? So I'd loose endurance and time for that.

Somtimes I'd click it and he wouldn't even get into the animation? It would just take my endurance, anyopne else get these?

So you're going to nerf our only true means of offense, when a majority of players can already see through our defense (hide)?

That's a low blow.

For starters we're not built for CQC, it doesn't take long for a Scrapper to win us over whether we're Regen, or Ninjitsu and use the healing available, scrappers can still take the hits we throw at them and return it to us ten fold, Same with Tanks and Dwarves, none of these can be one shot.

Other squishies are usually up in the air, or constantly on the move once they realise a Stalker is about, making it very difficult to get anywhere near them for a one-shot, if they happen to be standing still in a PvP zone then it's their own fault, they are warned after 25 or so seconds. >.>

So now that we will have even greater difficulty ASing Tanks and Scrappers (which let me just say, is for the most part down to skill, timing and patience, occassionally luck if the poor sap is standing there) how exactly can we perform effectivly in PvP?
CQC is already out of the window, and I was fine with that because we aren't scrappers, and I am happy to accept that.

Of course I'm irritated because you want to nerf our opening attack that let's face it, is the only way we're going to get an edge in CQC with tougher fighters, and as for giving squishy the chance to activate their high defensive/healing powers and escape, it would be interesting to know where Stalkers stand because it's already a struggle to play PvP when the majority of people see you coming.

Further more if this is truely what you wish to go ahead with, the notion of giving people a chance, then do us a favour and make Placate more effective, I can use it on these 'people with high perception' and it'll do absolutley nothing, once that fails, we're pretty much doomed.
Thanks for your time,
Valhart

I agree with Bridger.

As a Lv 22 Stalker I can say that it's definatly down to the timing of the move, as the only time I've been interuppted is when I'm hit whilst or during Placate...makes perfect sense to me.
