I actually like Nightstalker in PvP (except for Mayhem). Put on the perk for double smoke and grenade time. Quiver on shadowshot. And with Graviton, Keen Scout and Shadowstep make a great combo.
The only thing that's annoying is having to switch so many things around when jumping from PvE to PvP.
that was i was doing. always felt like i had a disadvantage going into any encounter.
smoke bomb/grenades are stupid. i don't want to trap enemies and i don't want to block them (and they can just go right through it when i do). I want to kill them as soon as I see them. Incendiary prenades and then I finish off with one hand cannon shot, not two. Similarly, with throwing knife I cut any CQB encounters in half. With nightstalker I either run away or try to slow them down with smoke.
Quiver is really just a cooler, less effective Golden Gun. The other shadowshot attacks are only good if you have cover, otherwise you miss and they can still shoot you while they're tethered.
Worst part is I don't know if I'm doing it wrong or if there's something wrong with the subclass. But I'm already getting twice as many kills on Gunslinger again and winning 90% more of my encounters so it looks like I'm done with that.
At least Hunters have a PvE class now.
