Read the patch notes for yesterday's Training Room patch here (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=shibboleth&Number=10843126&bodyprev=#Post10843126).
Quote from: LighthouseThe Stalker-related part:
Stalker Update
• Increased Stalker Melee damage multiplier from 0.9 base to 1.0 base.
• Increased Stalker Hit Points multiplier from 0.95 to 1.125
• All Stalker melee attacks now have a chance to critical while not hidden. This chance is equal to 10% plus 3% per additional team member within 30' of the stalker at the time of the attack. This only applies to PVE targets. Stalkers old chance to critical Held or Slept targets now only applies to PVP targets.
o The Critical portion of Energy Transfer operates exactly as if you were criticalling from Hide -- it eliminates the Self Damage, rather than increasing damage to the target.
• Using an Assassination attack and missing will no longer suppress Hide (though lesser stealth and invisibility powers will still suppress) if the attack misses. If the attack hits, Hide suppresses normally.
• Hide Suppression for Stalkers reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.
• Assassination attacks now cause a demoralizing effect on PVE targets that survive the attack. Demoralized targets To Hit value is reduced, and the target may be frozen in terror.
Do want!
Looks like waiting to roll a Stalker has paid off. :)
Now all I have to do is decide what power sets I want to try.

Nice! Did this go into effect with i12?
Nah, it's currently on test now, it may not even go live.
Actually, according to this (http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=info&Number=10861600&bodyprev=#Post10861600), it should go live tomorrow.

Wooo Freaking Hooo!
Grr - and here I cancelled due to technical and personal issues, when I have a L15 Katana/WP stalker that was already kick-butt. :verf

Bah! Those changes won't slow me down! Now not having my PC up and running, and time on my account, that's slowing me down... But not for much longer... Heeheehee...
