For a laugh rank the 7 stealth classes...

[Dracus]

Hunters r0x at higher RR...their biggest issue is opponents defense...assasin evade7 is piss annoying for instance. Ive missed 5-6 hits in a row thx to evades vs assasins..thats when we loose but if I hit 3-4 times early in the fight I usually win.

[Eeben]

SOM, ablat, warguard and battler charge> you

an with heal procs on armor you end up with 100% hp after fight

 

[Aiteal]

1. Minstrels - they may not win every fight, but they shouldnt loose any if they don't want to
2. Shades - Remedy, what a class RA
3. Infs - they just hit so bloody hard
4. SB's - I'd guess more dedication is required to play one than a Inf, but high viper SB's who keep reapplying poisions are better than any ranger
5. Rangers - Great once every 15 mins, mediocre the rest of the time
6. Hunters - a camo'ed spear hunter that catches you with rear style is nasty
7. Scouts

6. Scout (Solo they aren't too bad. In a group - nasty)

I love it how they can guard my target even when rear styling me.

I like fighting mincers, they are usually fun, against assassins its usually who can dish out/absorb the most dmg determines the winner. Just stand toe to toe and style away and hope for evades and weapon procs.
Good minstrels can run rings around you and keep you scrambling to use bow, melee, heal/end pots.
I wish all stealthers had the options mincers have, you can run with visable groups till you get a few RR's and get the toys you want for solo play. What other stealther could be effective running around with a caster and the ability to charm in PvE would be awesome.

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

Assume R5+, fully ToAed, any spec, archers probably Mele spec!

Which is best stealther class in terms of 1 Stealther v 1 Stealther?

I'd say it was:

1. Minstrels
2. Hunters
3. Rangers
4. Nightshades
5. Infiltrator
6. Shadowbalde
7. Scout

 

[Matriarch|Sneakers]

SOM, ablat, warguard and battler charge> you

[Solari]

Hmmm speaking of 1vs1 - most likely melee fights. AND with all abilities up...

1) Rangers - IP, Purge, SW + dex/qui suspress and shear OR FZ ofc SoM, WH, PD ect. ect.
2) Infils - Dual leggie wielding infils just hits hard as fuck And they can unlike the shades be the "base class" of the realm
3) Nightshades - Remedy... remedy... right... vs. an enemy assasin this is totally an IWIN ability.
4) Minstrels - If played right you should be able to last forever... but there's rarely any out there that's able to compete in the stealthwars without some buddies due to assasins massive frontload damage. Could be 4th place... could be last - very VERY much dependant on the player.
5) Hunters - Basically on the same terms as rangers, however high evade > spear, and DW > 2-handed most of the times.
6) SB's - They need some love compared to shades and infils they are far from the top notch.
7) Scouts - Based on a 1vs.1 they shouldn't be able to get any shots in from the distance. FZ is an option, but the slam is most likely to be purged if (what I asume) we are talking about high rr players. And melee s/s style vs. stealthers is just a joke.

[Tallen]

Ofc it all depends on ml's, template and players...

I'd say RR has a lot to do with it as well, rr5+ i'd say NS is tops, below ml5 i'd still have to say mincer.

[Valgyr]

Minstrel. Average minstrel is 6-7 on the list top minstrels are nbr 1 easy

Hunter Best hunters are prolly the best solo stealther normal hunter is just free rps

Ns Remedy, all the diff

Ranger only archer with DW, easier to be good then the hunter

Infi Evade stun on a lvl 50 style negates the 2,5 spec points

SB Harder to spec and kit then the other 2 assasins, best SBs are very hard normal SBs are in need of love

Scout Slam+crit can be nice at times but purged too often

 

[remi]

1. Remi
2. the others

 

[TriggerHappy]

imo RR has a huge deal to play with it, inf`s extra spec points are great at low RR but Ns/SB catch up close enough if auto trained and in high RR,

Toa has a huge factor to play also,i find that if used correctly an SB could be the best due to raw damage output from initial 2h hit and followed by a duel effort etc...

the RR5 ability for an NS tho beats all.. as long as an Ns cant be poisined it wins,along with SoM procs it is very hard to take down..

also SB damage (axe) is mainly based on str and so there entire damage output can be taken by the usual str/con & str poisins, gib SB`s some love..

not going to comment bout the others cause i dont now much about there styles of play neva tried one
