Willpower seems like an excellent choice! I love it thematically as well.
I ALSO think it has the potential to be one of the best team tanker sets with a full team behind it. Having that massive Regen on top of defensive buffs seems great on paper.
Dark Melee should be a great pairing as well, bringing the -tohit and heal.
The issues seem to have popped up again. Can't get onto the server.
Edit: Seems I can with current heroes, but can't with newly created ones. Says "Lost connection to DBserver."
So I'm running a Staff/Stone right now and I have to say... this is quickly becoming one of my all time faves. It's Dragoon themed and Staff is just perfect for it.
I'm curious though: What attack chain do you typically use? I'm a bit at a loss for it. I want to make sure I leverage the combo system for it's bonuses, but not sure how I should attack out of hide!
Great combo! I would have definitely used Ice Armor if the ONE other Stalker I’ve played wasn’t already IA (KM/Ice).
I settled on Staff/Stone and I’m loving it so far. Might just have a Stalker elemental theme starting 😂
Taking a look at @Ston’s recent testing I was surprised to see MA perform so well. The ignorant side of me just thought that, since it lacked the +Def that Tankers and Brutes get, that it just doesn’t jive with a Scrapper as much.
The added crit bonus from Eagle’s Claw must really make a difference though.
All the testing looks really fair and even. There are only some things that I feel can be hard to test for. Like how Dual Blades needs a TON of recharge to run its optimal attack chain, which you probably aren’t getting with Willpower. But you can’t break the whole parameters of the test for one set haha.
Hey Stych!
I've been leveling my own Staff/Stone Stalker and loving it. Sort of using your Stone Armor set up as a template. QQ for you: Do you not take the Unbreakable Guard +Max HP enhancement because you can pretty much get to perma HP cap with just Earth's Embrace?
