Introducing Class Combo Gears!

[The Roger]

Stalker is many classes and no class at the same time; it can do many things but cannot excel in any of them. if im right, this set is made having in mind this, so it merged DS with magic without trying to make everything OP. The general iteration is to make something "normal" than "overpowered": its better to increase the power of something later than having to reduce it because too strong.

Now, the complete set gives:
13 DEF
3 MDEF
6 DEX
7 INT
ACD reduction 10%
Range Damage +20% if Double Strafe mastered
MATK dmg +10% if Double Strafe mastered
SP discount 5% of skills
SP pool increased by baseDEX*2
[if Stalker:] 10% DEF/MDEF pierce if Weapon refine is +10 (1% per refine)


Now considering we ca put a Byorgue card inside the armor for another ATK +10% & MATK +10%, Mystic Bow for extra DS cost discount (iirc this has to be fixed >_>) and more INT, plus its a bow so you can DS with it, copy for example Storm Gust on a build of 90+DEX, 90+ INT, 50 AGI, plus the new racial hats that gives 5% reduction from [race] and 10% def/mdef pierce on [that race], plus Dragon Tail card in garment for +5% DS dmg generally or the other +10% damg on [element] & +15 crit on [race]... all of this already seems a good improvement for a mixed build.

If you dont want to use DS, you can still use the MATK daggers, but the best imho is using a bow. And there are weapon cards for race/size/element on the physical side and there are also the +5% matk on [race] cards if you make a quad compo bow with them to still use DS and have a +20% matk on said race.


Im not really an expert of stalker class, i just see it as the best lurer in bio3 once GTBed and linked with 99agi 99 dex 25 vit XD

PS:
yes you wont have high aspd with that mixed build. See it as "DS when enemies are 1-2 and SG when enemy's group count 3+ targets."

PPS:
it will always be underperfomant than the other specific classes. DS and magic dmg will be lower, cast time will be longer, sp pool more limited, aspd low... but partying already in two it should be already alot better. If you intend it to solo with, then my tip is to not use this set for the mixed build, and aim towards a pure bow/pure dagger builds or make new characters like a HW or Sniper or Sinx or LK.

PPPS:
99dex, 99int, 25 agi, agi bless, it can do like 20k dmg per SG on a kasa and 4300 dmg per DS with a +5 frozen bow with vadon and crystal arrow. Imho its quite good for a stalker and with only one build.
