Then three others kill the guy that I took too long to prepare for. All my efforts wasted Unless you are playing solo, you shouldn't really use the assassin's strike from stealth, it just takes too much time. Any attack you use from stealth will still get a guaranteed crit so you don't really need it. Just keep it for your unstealthed attacks and everything will be much smoother Stalkers are (imo) the least new player friendly melee class. If you want to properly try out a melee build, Scrappers and Tankers are where it's at Edited September 27, 2021 by Seigmoraig 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveled him to 46 and just stopped. I just had enough. Put to sleep and then the foe kills me with no way to protect myself. This happened several dozen times. Don't care for melee (played a stalker. Drop a red inspiration, click on build up and go to assassin. Then three others kill the guy that I took too long to prepare for. All my efforts wasted). What I needed was a blaster with mez protection. Thought that the sentinel was the answer, but their damage level is so low it takes me three full uses of all of my attacks to kill anything. The defender's even worse. They need either provide mez protection for the blaster or beef up the sentinel (which I would prefer). May I suggest a Soldier of Arachnos? Hunstman or ranged Crab Spider sounds up your alley. They are at least as survivable as sentinels, with more damage potential plus very good low maintenance team buffs. Added bonus, the AT flexible, so you only need to level one with multiple builds to switch, say, huntsman to pure bane to crabbermind My Huntsman Spoiler This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.0.6.0https://github.com/LoadedCamel/MidsReborn Click this DataLink to open the build!
