I'm going to put my input in this discussion, because this is ridiculous. Before anyone criticizes me for QQing because I've been beat by a reduction-using stalker, I actually donated for two of the Stalker Soaring Birds, so any change that would come to it would affect me as well, and more so than anyone who bought it in-game from anyone else, but lets get it straight;
The reduction is ridiculous. Stalkers can copy skills that require NO kiels whatsoever to spam, so they can go with sacred wings, a santa poring hat, and an aura and spam endlessly while wearing a maya purple+f. soldier. Mind you, their damage remains quite high at this point. I'm all for letting it keep some demi-human reduction, but I do not agree with 10%. I agree with 8%. Stalkers HAVE an advantage, they can copy skills that's spammable based on ASPD. They don't need to wear Kiels to be dangerous. They could default reducts all day if they wanted to, and still be lethal. People here who play Stalkers should ask themselves, if I were playing Lord Knight, Creator, Paladin, Assassin Cross, etc, and had to fight a reduction stalker wearing the current Stalker Soaring Bird, would I deal much damage? Would I seriously have a chance of killing something which I deal 3-4k, IF THAT, and hope my FCP doesn't run out in the process? Tao Gunka gives Stalkers a HUGE HP boost, they CAN survive, trust me. Nerf the demi-human reduction to 8%, that's what I suggest at least. 10% MAX. But remember that they can default reducts and still PvP fine. They don't need 10%, 8% is fine, maybe even less. I suggest the GMs test the damage while wearing a Reduction Hat/Wing, and see how ridiculously over-powered the bow is. People need to stop overlooking the fact that they are over-powered, and accept balance.
