The Major Flaw Of Damage 2.0: Stalker!

[ast00]

So the same thing always happens. Stalker comes, you one shot kill him or you are dead. Today, I missed the first shot and died.

What causes this problem? SLASH PROC. Stalker IGNORES shields.

How much damage his Slash Dash deals? 1200? Yes, 1200, and after that it applies a slash proc of about 500/second. Like WTF? My 960 shields + 540 hp= 1500. Slash Dash didn't kill me, slash proc did.

My sentinel has no Guardian, I simply died with full shields. How does that happen? How do I get slash procced if my shields are up? I know it's intended, but it's STUPID.

I dont understand what Damage 2.0 have to do with Stalker but , Stalker Slash dash have always and will be one hit ko , Avoid it or die

He means that due to the procs introduced in D2.0, the slash dash proc kills him most of time.  He is more complaining more about the proc than anything else.  I kind of agree, but I think stalker needs a slight buff as is.  He needs to not take damage until the last half second of his spawn animation.  Remove his proc, and make it a battle about skills is what I suggest.

Nope. My Rank 3 Banshee survived his Slash Dash with 18 HP. Thats back in damage 1.0.

Why would you tank an ability from a "deviously strong mysterious assasin whose level is 30+"?

Some of you don't get the problem. It is supposed to deal 1200 damage. But if it deals 1200 damage then it won't one hit me.

And what if I play on a corpus ship? There are some tiles where you can't get out of the way.

Stalker needs to have more HP, same amount of damage dealt, just no slash procs.

Most of the time you simply get one-shotted if hit by Stalker 's Slash Dash or Dread , it has always been like this .

The problem is not about STALKER, the problem always been the slash proc mechanic, which is one of the stupidest things ever made in this game after the broken lights in the Grineer galleons (but at least those got fixed at somepoint, the slash proc never).

Slash proc SHOULD NOT, and i underline it, SHOULD NOT bypass shields, because it applyes randomly when hit, and in this game is next to impossible to never get hit unless you become invisible or put on some kind of "defence" like Rhino's IS, it's just plain unfair and it adds no challenge whatsoever to the game because it's next to impossible to avoid and deals a damage that, considering how stingy this game is about red orbs, cannot be repaired later, unless you equip a Rejuvenation mod or have some frame like Trinity/Oberon/Nekros in the team, which doesen't always happen anyway.

I remember beginning of dmg 2.0, managed to kill stalker with my rhino but he managed to hit me once with hate, after fight i popped iron skin, slash dot chew through iron skin and finished me.

 

More reasonable proc system should be introduced, magnetic should not proc when there are no shield and corrosive should not proc when targets armor is protected by shields or there is no armor to reduce, shields should prevent all internal statuses(viral/slash/toxin) from happening, some armors should prevent gas from dealing dmg, not to mention that robotic enemies shouldnt get hit by any internal stautses or gas at all but magnetic should replace viral for them.

 

There is alot of work to be done.
