[Chilling Embrace in /Ice Pros/Cons]

I know this thread is ancient, but I'm working up a Staff/Ice stalker and noticed Chilling Embrace could take a proc for +smashing dmg.  Has anyone here tried that yet?  Is that effect also suppressed by Hide, at least until you make your presence known?

I tested on my psy/ice extensively to see if CE actively on a foe affected my hide, it did not. Assassins mark hide proc worked as normal! Not sure about the smash

I believe it's because shield charge is technically a pet. This happens frequently with waterspout for the same reason, where waterspout will proc it but nothing happens. I noticed when this is the case the flavor text is a different color (orange instead of red I think) than when it procs off of a normal attack.

Ahhh that makes sense. Same reason it doesn’t crit. Gotcha!

I didn’t even think to check combat log, I was tunneling in on the satisfying text 😜

 

Thanks for the feedback Riverdusk. It’s a rare breed, the Ice stalker. I main BS/SD. I doubt that will change... but my Ice/Bio is definitely eager to see these changes through! 

[Thinking of switching from brute to tanker for farm.]

Regarding taunt/fleeing foes—

 

the current beta patch has resolved that with many testers confirming positive results. Not sure when this patch will go live but looking good!
 

Checkout the beta forum for more insight, or swing a Psy Melee weapon for some too. 😜

[Ice Melee Stalker Bug]

After an hour of testing ice melee out of hide, I note there were ZERO critical strikes. The only criticals that occur with this primary is the first one out of hide.

 

Is this bugged/hard coded to Tanker AT? 

[Shield Defense Stalker Bug]

Hi team! 
 

Each time shield charge is used, it triggers the “Assassins Mark” ATO Build Up reset notification on the screen, however, build up still remains on cool down, even when clicked. 
 

After SD port to Stalker, is it still hard coded as a Tanker/Brute set? Not properly registering with the 4% Chance on all stalker attacks reset? 
 

With gratitude, 

Nate

I was under the suspicion that they was a hidden cooldown, but that doesn't seem to be the case as other times it pops on every single attack given how many aoes sav/shield/mu has.

 

It may be related to shield charge specifically?

 

I thought the same thing, and even tried using it right after the notification to no avail.

 

perhaps Shield Defense is still hard coded as a Tank/Brute/Scrap set, thus not registering the proc as it’s not a “stalker” power?

Loving the build! Hit 50, but I'm still struggling to get the attack chains correct. Could anyone post a screenshot/describe how they have their keys/attacks mapped? Do you go across 1-2-3? Do you use macros that trigger multiple attacks? Keybinds? All of the above?

 

It would really help me out. Thanks!

Zer0 Hour, my keybinds are:

 

R: Build Up

Q: Assassins Strike

Shift+Q: Hack

E: Disembowel

Shift+E: Head Splitter

4: Slice

1: Parry

2: Moonbeam
C ; Soul Grasp (Hold) 

3: Shield Charge

F: Shadowmeld

G: Active Defense

Shift+G: One With the Shield

Auto: Hasten
Mouse Button 4: Hover

Shift+Mouse button 4: Afterburner

Mouse button 5: Fly

 

I am recalling from memory so I may have missed something. Hope this helps!

First off - let me state that I’m absolutely thrilled with this build. Souls on Excelsior, 44 atm fully attuned and chopping stuff into cole slaw. Magic origin, BS/SD/Soul who’s back story is a Hero who has been bestowed a magical sword that collects the souls of the haunted and villainous evildoers, storing it permanently into his power, shield, and abilities.

 

question: I’ve currently got Assassins Mark ATO placed into Hack. I see the proc pop up on the screen all the time, especially with shield charge. However, despite the proc notification after a shield charge, build up is still on CD. 
 

Anyone else having this problem?
