Show me your Stalker tier list!

[Mr. Vee]

The talk here and elsewhere of BS has me excited to try one. I had a bs/wp scrap on live but deleted it at some point for general mehness and b/c i had too many wp toons and too many scrappers.

Well, BS/Shield is great on Scrappers... I've played it to 50 a couple times here and back on Live.  Right now I'm leveling an Electric/Shield stalker and at 30 the combo is working quite well although I'm certainly looking forward to the double nuke in a few more levels.

bs/shield, bs/bio, bs/ea, bs/electric, bs/sr... all will do fantastically well against content up to EB's.


To be fair, in tower tests and AV's, and stuff that cannot be whipped in an attack chain or two, their damage DOES tend to flag a little behind the DPS sets. Some torchbearer ninnies like to act like tower tests tell you everything you need to know about a set, though. standing-and-delivering against a set target that ignores placate, or clearing a farm map, is a scrapper/brute trick, and has nothing whatsoever to do with the stalker playstyle.

Fire Farms are a scrapper/brute playground, and have been designed for them. There are maps, however, where you get groups of 2 minions, a minion/lut, and an elite boss.... THOSE farms we tear through faster than even a brute can dream, because they have been designed for blasters, stalkers, and single-target specialists. We don't pull in scads of purple recipes in our farming, but the inf and exp is every bit as krumpty as a fire farm. Brutes will be wheezing for fury every spawn, and scrappers will just be doing the scrapper thing at typical scrapper speed.

We are the ones that drop the big boys at record speeds without faceplanting. We are the ones who speed-run entire mission arcs in ouro, and BS is an exceptionally efficient tool for that goal.

Would you so kind as to post an Arc ID or name?
