Can we get some good talk about NightStalker?
I just haven't seen too many threads dedicated to the new Nightstalker subclass. How do our seasoned hunters like it? What kinds of perk combinations seem to be most effective? What kind of play styles are coming from it? Likes/dislikes...etc
Personally I'm only half-way through the skill tree but I'm liking it so far.
-
Night stalkers are the best for boss fights (every shot is critical) and the synergy it has with the other subclasses is amazing

3 RepliesI was flying around chucking hammers like a bawse and then a purple arrow hit me and then I wasn't chuckin hammers no more I was no longer a bawse I was dead :(

I just wish we had more time for quiver :(

My friends love having me in their raid party because they know when I pop my super, the orbs just keep dropping! [b][i][u]*Insert Dubstep Music Here*[/u][/i][/b]

Nightstalker is badaaassss I love it so much! Good for both support and solo, and instant cloaking for everyone helps a lot

Most hunters are a run and gun style so they were happy and content with our gunslinger and bladedancer. The thing about the nightstalker is that being a support class it needs to be used smart and strategically. In PvE its great for either huge crowds with exploding kills, and with bosses use the increased duration perk so you can land tons of critical hits since nightstalker makes all bullets deadly. Shadestep is a nice perk but it's way better to use the helmet that provides it because keen scout is an amazing perk because it'll allow you to see enemies, both PvE and PvP. I won the rumble match today because I kept catching corner campers and was able to see whee the people I shot ran off to. This class is not meant to be a beginner's because it makes you use your head and never use your super immediately. Save it for when the spark is charged, or when you see a mobile super since itll shut it down instantly. I'm learning how to use it against one's such as defender and nova bomb and striker as these are instant kills and the bubble can't be broken by it. All in all this class is amazing but only in the right hands, and once I'mdone with all the quests imma start my other classes to test out their new supers

Vanish in Smoke is hilarious on corner camping shotgun abusers, especially when they're marked from Keen Scout already for me. In time they'll catch on to it, but currently can just pop a smoke and edge round the corner and pop them. Quite satisfying. Currently i'm not so good with the super atm though, but then i've only played Nightstalker once in the crucible.
-
Don't forget the ability to shut off everyone's super in the crucible! :)
-
Perk where shadowshot makes a billion orbs and perk where tethered enemies share damage and explode? Game, not to mention they're crit shots for everyone on the team, beautiful subclass, quickly became my favorite.
-
It is fun with shad step and keen scout

Guardian! Eyes up Guardian! it worked your alive. I'm a brain, actually I'm your brain, and you? You've been dumb a long time, so you're going to see a lot of things you won't understand. *hears sound in background* this is smart people territory you aren't safe here, I have to get you back to the city. hold still...

Just two manned the taniks strike I was sunsiger with song of flame and my mate was a nightstalker, we had orbs for days it was a blast

Edited by x Auto Pilot x: 9/23/2015 4:44:11 AMI run Black Hole + Vanish (Sealed Gauntlets for 2 smokes) + Keeper of the Pack + Keen Scout for orb generation in PvE. I use Quiver + Envenom + (longer smoke/grenade duration-- I forget the name) + Keen Scout + Graviton Helmet which gives shadestep for PvP. I typically just use Vortex grenade and have had a lot of success with Blood Bond where I tether a group a people and just throw a vortex grenade and Envenomed smoke grenade on one person, but I prefer having the 3 shots. I have had more fun with this subclass than any of the others in the game. I also probably butchered some of the names of the perks as well, but they are close enough. There is nothing more fun than using my super to shutdown other supers in PvP.
-
Its one of the best supers I've used, I've trapped whole teams and generated [b]insane[/b] amounts of orbs in pve.
-
It's soooo customizable. The other two subclasses are generally set in stone (save maybe running an invis build on bladedancer) but with Nightstalker I find myself changing the skill tree ALL the time. It's so much fun.
-
I just recently started my hunter and I've got to say... I love it so much, nightstalker is so useful when you shoot it at a group of enemies. Not to mention the amount of orbs you spit out...
-
I think it's amazing. I just hit 40 on my Titan and my warlock is still 34. I can't get off my nightstalker

1 Reply-Love being an orb machine -Keen Scout is awesome for PvE and PvP -Shadestep is a great mechanic, especially in PvP sword duels -Vanishing in smoke to revive a teammate or tossing it on both of you as soon as you get him/her up is great.

3 RepliesThe shade step sucks in my opinion

1 ReplyOk so I was playing crucible yesterday and I saw a storm caller gliding towards me. I shoot my shadow shot and it is a direct hit, by while I'm falling down the suppression doesn't activate yet and I get zapped. Why is there a delay between when the arrow hits and when they are suppressed. It makes no sense!
-
For pvp I use longer duration nades and poison smoke with three arrows that can be used as traps.
-
Could someone please explain what the predator perk does?

5 RepliesLove the class. Though im a bit unsure about something and i need help from fellow hunters: What extra skill should i use for the super? I wish i could combine the explosion one as well as black hole but that would be op. Most of the time i find that black hole does really in snaring as many as possible both in pve and pvp and it lasts long too so maybe someone running by will get caught as well. Its brilliant combined with the perk that gives orbs for killing tethered enemies. I want to like and i want to see the uses for the other two perks for the super but i dont.... Anyone wanna help me out?
