Stalker build Question

[Calin Chc]

Like I said before, maybe some things changed after arena update and I also don't play ANBs(can't do it, captain, I have no power), so take my advice accordingly. Actually I like Garm and the fire dragon more than Kara at high trials. There was a thread about least favourite boss and I think most stalkers agreed with this. As long as you survive standing inside the blue circle you should have no problem with Garm. Problem comes at very high trials when it's possible to die even while inside the blue circle(must increase vitality). Anyway, considering blue circle is able to keep you alive, your only concern is reaching that circle. Obviously, you need to have good movement speed.

Strategy 1
Stay in front of Garm at proper distance, not too close, not too far and dodge(left/right) the initial poison spit dots. Run inside the circle, rinse and repeat. Check his TL149 video:

Strategy 2(I use this one cause I suck at dodging)
Force a map with big rocks and run around one of them forcing Garm to chase you. Always keep the big rock between you and Garm, so he cannot spit on you. Run inside the circle when it shows and start shooting, rinse and repeat.

Maybe these work for warrior and mage too, but I only play BH.

[TheExorcist]

made a few mistake etc
dunno how far can i go? well Just play for fun. it's fun indeed
2hrs 55: 36 left
rest for a day or two

should i use say half an hour for experience?. That is bf "final pushin". any recommendation?
thank you

[Eternium2020]

did u craft your 2x ring and same with necklace? or u just get it from the AnB reward? since theres a ephemeral items that u get if h accomplish the task. Im stil at trial 11 with lvl 64 playtime left is 5hours and 24minutes.

[TheExorcist]

Garm is so terrible
i'm very much of him/it?
with BH friends assistance. Made it
i dont want to aim high. Just trial 120 is an honored

after 20 or so min runnin for golds. Continue at trial 114. i'm lucky i guess

[chessmaster58]

Congrats - took me long time to accomplish that even !!

[TheExorcist]

Calin Chc
Thanks for teaching a Shield warrior (me) how to handle Garm
Mission nearly accomplish..i just want to reach trial 120
now just made it at trial 119
one more to go
rest for awhile (still many days left)

[Calin Chc]

You're welcome...did you use the "big rock" strategy?

[TheExorcist]

Mission completed
i'm very happy

Stalker BH will be my permanent hero at "Normal" playin. Yes sir!!
Now Just rest for a day or two and continue with normal playin

1:50:44:1 time left

whatever achieved after this is a bonus
so and so says: after Trial 120 everythin is very tough
Now should i replace pathfinder with endurance then. yes or no yes or no. I dunno
thank you

[TheExorcist]

i take my hat off (as a sign of respect to Chinacctv)
this fellow "at Trial 161" BH ANB LB
and it's a Stalker
i'm just relaxing at trial 120. many days left

erm. Next Bronze ANB? (i'm all out for Havoc - i love heatseekers very much). If somebody ask me: which one do you love more: Stalker or havoc?. erm: Havoc. I love the "Kaboom/missile/rockets etc. Then why do you play Stalker?: i just follow the norm: people say Stalker more powerful than "Havoc".

Demolitionist?: never tried it before. will use all my glory to open this set

Thank you

[Eternium2020]

Havoc is fun, but needs more Ability Rating to cast Missiles many times i think? i tested all havoc sets + with a lvl 76 belt ordinance my missile level is only 4, but can 1 hit all if u use magnetic and smokescreen it is good. all my items are not enchanted just imagine if it were my main sets. but it takes so much time to kill the boss. i tested it at trial 105 i finished it in just 6minutes it takes too long.

[TheExorcist]

ohh i'm very happy
after mission fully completed at trial 120
Just play with the remaining time (regard it as a bonus)
it's fun
Even though i defeated "Magroth" i'm still afraid of the timin (8.30 min). trial 122 should be more difficult. well i'm a "Noob" in BH. You have to give me some credit
will continue later
Thank you

[TheExorcist]

First attempt Garm at 124
thank goodness
how to reach trial 130. If it is possible? i dunno
Should i replaced pathfinder with endurance? i dunno
haha. anyway better have a rest first.

[Eternium2020]

the top 1 use lethality as primary? and the passive that increases the HP%? i ll copy his build and Abilities and passives on next anb. idk if jt was lethality. or it was the top 2 . i forgot but one of them doesnt use tracer and explosive.

[TheExorcist]

well

[TheExorcist]

16min:18:1 left
Trial 130?
8 min each for Garm (129) and Kara (130)
seems impossible. any ideas. haha
well. so much fun. that is more important
have a rest. later will try

[Calin Chc]

You can beat Garm in 9:59 and Kara in 9:59, it will be accepted. You may also abandon a few times if you're not happy with the map. Even if you only have 1 sec remaining on the event timer you can still start a new trial. It will count if you manage to beat it.

[JohnnytheKid]

Just my 2 cents worth; I've played stalker bh couple years now, cause it's easiest build for me to play (mobile). The setup that seemed to work best for me is shadow assassin pistol set, lethal shot for basic attack, snipe, rapid fire, + optional for abilities, poison, piercing, and pathfinder for passive abilities. I haven't actually played with it much, but not sure how tracer ammo would benefit stalker build, as most of damage is being done by snipe and poison ( approximately 80 - 90 %, counting snipe DOT, snipe, poison cloud, and poison). Dont know how it would work on really high trial levels, but it got me up to about trial 100


Edit #2: True, Kalanch. Hadn't thought of that, as I don't have molten belt. Makes sense now

[Kalanch]

Tracer Ammo is required to activate the Molten Belt passive, which is crucial to shorten length of boss fights when pushing higher TLs.
Didn't see it mentioned here, but from a skill description it looks like it also increases damage of projectiles -> Snipe, which is main point of the build

[Eternium2020]

Kalanch



Best passives for stalker are?

Path finder
Poison
Tracer?

or remove path finder and add the increase hp by 20% which is Endurance? like what top 1 BH used during anb. he used Endurance.

[TheExorcist]

after ANB just step by step practisin my beloved Stalker
still lot to learn (especially how to dodge/dancing away from the mobs?) and etc etc
You just can't "play/tank" like a Whirlwind Shield warrior can you?
erm. My primary attack still has a slot unopened. Should i used "Lethal shot" for "mobs or bosses or both" at high trials?. any ideas/recommendation?

not incline towards the LB i'm afraid. But it's not to far away. haha
so much fun
have a nice day
thank you

[Turgeon]

Im like you with dh i tend to not dodge any5hing haha

[hellerian]

Hello, I am new in this game and I need help. I want to play this char with Stalker set, BUT I have only 2 pieces and playing only trials around 55 (higher trials = IKed very often) ... any tips what to do ?
I dont have repices, I cant play higher trials and trials around 55 give me only 3x blue reward
