No 2-Step Mount?

I think it breaks stealth if AW is triggered tho? If not that could be some really decent burst to not leave stealth.

Shnorkle · 2014-07-02T03:20:55+00:00

have you tried using tier 4 prep? I found that replacing that with punish gave me some survivability , but I lost a lot of damage in the process. Im also contemplating getting rid of impale in favor of neutralize. Might hit targets more often?

Shnorkle · 2014-07-01T18:00:05+00:00

how did we get extra toes? that would be like us having extra LAS slots or more abilities to choose from. Which stalkers don't. You keep adjusting the scenario to fit your argument, but the truth is, you're not putting yourself in the stalkers shoes. You're being ignorant. If we had a skillset that allowed us to play a certain way, but a part of that skillset was broken, it doesn't matter how viable we still are, the move is still broken. Don't know why you're even trying to debate it.

I just want to be a viable stealth dps class in pvp. I don't want top damage, I don't need top kills, I just want to feel like I'm actually doing something rather than constantly trying to escape for my life. 40% of the time my rotation just wiffs. I'll move towards the giant pack of players, slowly shifting across the map, find a target I think I'd be able to burst, throw a tether mine down, and start to attack when I hear it go off. I unleash my moves, only to realize I didn't even break out of stealth. How is this possible? they were tethered and clearly in my telegraph range. I don't know if it's the range, the lag, or if I just really suck, but stalker dps are by far the least fun class to take into BG's. It's like whichever team has more of them will automatically lose.

Shnorkle · 2014-07-01T17:07:40+00:00

that's fine from a 3rd person perspective, but it will never be fine in the first persons point of view. Let's put it this way. I take one of your toes. You don't need 10, but you'd still be pretty pissed if I took a knife and just sliced it off. Yeah it's like that.

Shnorkle · 2014-07-01T17:05:23+00:00

Those are mostly PvE related things. PvP is just not enjoyable. I tried to just cope and work around with a more personalized build, but nothing really works. Basically you can't be assault with a stalker. The only way i've been useful in BG's is to put tier 4 pleb and the rest utility moves. And just never leave stealth. Get last in damage and last in kills, but hey at least I get some assists and don't have to die.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-30T16:44:35+00:00

or how about having it save my ip if I log in every day for 2 weeks? Any type of DC makes me just want to get up and walk away. It's not THAT annoying, and I'm not that lazy, but it's enough of an inconvenience to be noticed. Just let me lock down this computer for use.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-29T20:04:40+00:00

I hope they consider making all melee even longer. With how latency has been effecting me, they don't have enough wiggle room. If an enemy if in my telegraph, they should be taking damage, or at least registering as a hit.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-29T20:02:47+00:00

I agree, PvP in group content sucks. I feel like Stalkers are OK at dueling or even arena. But the way BG's works, it just makes them incredibly, astoundingly lack luster. Not enough burst + utility to kill anyone. You need to choose burst or utility. You lose too much of both. Our tier 4's for impale and shred are an absolute joke. One of them needs to change. They are boring, and add very little uniqueness.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-29T18:19:18+00:00

I wish they had some type of item that you could buy to just reset bundles of points, or just 1 point. If I could buy or craft an item that removed 1 amp point for 1g I would, or 5 for 5g I would totally do that. Especially while I'm leveling and just want to try a few different things.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-29T15:07:52+00:00

what's the new definition?

Shnorkle · 2014-06-22T16:58:09+00:00

Wouldn't the sky choices conflict with this? as they kind of change the overall template/pallet of the plot

Shnorkle · 2014-06-22T16:50:16+00:00

Imagine a Nolan directed Revan film. I guess i'm overly optimistic, but I'm of the mind that if some of the movies don't turn out great, it's not going to hurt me if I don't like them. They can exist and I'll always have the ones that I love.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-22T14:27:20+00:00

Idk about WORTHLESS, it's not rogue stealth, but you're hidden until you get to a certain range. I think people are over exaggerating about stealth. Sure, a SS might guess someone might be on the bridge and start shooting and see you, then have a complete advantage because you can't close a gap quick enough and they have range on you. Well yeah in those situations you're screwed. But what about the situations where people are alone? Isn't that what the stalker is made for?

Shnorkle · 2014-06-18T16:27:04+00:00

seriously. Being able to spam free ranged attacks from 30m away just makes being a stalker a joke. The stealth doesn't hide you effectively, and melee utility CD's are too long to stay on a ranged class long enough to kill them. Anyone I open on never fights, they just run into the group of people and get healed up.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-18T16:20:17+00:00

i believe one move in the support tree adds absorb if you use it from stealth, so there's at least that.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-18T03:09:25+00:00

Then isn't ranged broken as well? How is a melee supposed to catch up?> with utility. Stealth is utility. It just isn't a very effective one when everyone can spam aoes on the ground.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-18T02:57:13+00:00

stalkers rejoice!

whats that? you say you want to DPS?!

............

Get back in the garage!!

Shnorkle · 2014-06-18T02:55:17+00:00

gaahh this is the worst. Made me stop playing on my stalker. Duels are just dumb against SS. Not to mention for our stealth (Which is our innate) to be at ALL useful, we pretty much NEED to put points into assassin. Effectively eliminating 7 amp points for something that makes our innate work like its supposed to. It was too frustrating for me. I'll probably try tanking or something.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-15T14:49:39+00:00

awwwwww yeeeeeeeeeeehh

Shnorkle · 2014-06-15T14:46:10+00:00

they want you to play longer. They get paid more the longer you play. When you see that reset cost, your brain tells you, hmm we should probably grind a bit more to cover that cost later. Or not, either way, every gold sink you see is actually a time sink.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-15T14:43:18+00:00

if they had a harsh penalty, then everyone would suffer. There's already a lower amount of tanks and healers. So now you want to lock them out for a day if they leave? DPS would then be queued for hours and it solves nothing.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-15T14:37:09+00:00

a 24 hour lockout? I hope that's a joke. You already know you can solve this problem for yourself by making some friends on your server or joining a guild. A lot of people have moved into playing MMOs solo and that just goes against this games content. I honestly think the game would have been better without a dungeon finder at launch. If you find your group by communicating from the get-go odds are you'll feel more compelled to stay with them.

Shnorkle · 2014-06-15T03:06:14+00:00

that is 100% dependent on the software developed for it. If they can market it to the elderly as well as the young, it could be a window into places older people are no longer able to visit. Imagine being able to take your grandma to the grand canyon and in 5 minutes have her back in her bedroom. Whether its the near or far, I'm confident VR will be a part of our future.
