Stalker ambush and the best thing about CoH (besides the costume editor)

[DougGraves]

I am playing a stalker and soloing.  I do the KR arcs a lot on teams.  Doing them on a solo stalker is so different. 

 

In the Hollows there are a lot of defeat alls.  In KR the missions are usually defeat one boss.  I ran through the entire mission and fought Chernobog and that was the mission.

 

In another mission you get 3 skull ambushes.  Then you go fight Misery.  After the ambushes, I snuck up on Misery. She had 3 additional spawns standing around her facing out - watching for someone to approach.  I took out Misery while her guards were looking the other direction.

 

Which brings me to the second best thing about CoH - it lets you use your powers.  If a map has a guarded bridge, you can just fly past it.  You can sneak past foes.  You can use your power to skip the encounter and complete the mission.

Yeah, I like doing things like that.

 

I also wish there were more missions with "Don't attract attention!" conditions like ... pretty sure it's Levantra's (the "strange case of arnold decker" arc, I believe.)

Yep. Livin' the Stalker Life. 👍
