ghost emoji Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 How different is the gameplay for Stalker compared to Widows? I've heard that Widows are like more powerful Stalkers and I'd like to know if that's true. I'm trying to decide on my next character. Thanks :)
Shinobu Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 I wouldn't say a Widow (and we're talking Night Widow here, not Fortuna) is exactly a "more powerful" stalker, but they play a lot like a claws scrapper or stalker with team buffs and no assassin's strike, basically a support stalker. I like that combo a lot, and they're very easy to softcap on defenses, and with the team defensive buffs you don't feel strictly like a me-first solo artist on a team, if you know what I mean. Take medecine or teleport pools and you can be even more of a team asset.
ghost emoji Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 That's disappointing. I'd like to have a widow character and a stalker with claws, so I'm afraid that it might get too repetitive. :-\
Adeon Hawkwood Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 There's also Bane Spiders which are kind of like a ranged/melee hybrid Stalker. Defender Smash!
Shinobu Posted May 31, 2019 Posted May 31, 2019 Maybe you want a Fortuna then? When widows get to 24 they take one of two paths and Fortuna is the option that includes a lot of psi ranged attacks. They're still similar to Widows but they get ranged attacks, a very nice Psi Blaster-style AoE, Psychic Wail, plus some confuse/hold powers. If you're worried that a Widow would play too much like a Stalker, then a Fortuna might be what you want to try.
