Also, my response to some of the issues stated around this forum...

COV's archetypes do do more damage than COH archetypes...However, COH archetypes are more defensive/supporting than COV's archetypes...

Stalkers can one shot kill only "squishies"...One guy mentioned on COH forum that a stalker using it's ultimate power merely did 1/4 of the guy's max hp(With the use of Dull Pain probably too, Dull Pain is a power that increases the users' max hp) using his brute...Since stalker's ultimate power is interruptible and requires time, there are ways to prevent its attack (fly, constant movement, auras, powers like caltrops,etc...)...Stalkers are melee...Anyways, if u can't get over that fact that it's possible to one-shot certain classes, then that's up to you to play or not...Atleast the Stalker archetype is something new(plays like an assassin and quite different from other archetypes)...Also realize, the blaster on COH side could easily 1 or 2 shot squishies too...Over all, people need to realize that COH isn't balanced upon 1 v 1 (otherwise all archetypes wouldn't have very much variations) but it's balanced for group v group...

    Only people who claim stalkers are overpowered have never played them.

    QFE.

    Its also a misconception that all CoV ATs do more damage than CoHs.  For example,

    A corruptor is at 75% damage output than that of a blaster.

    Stalkers do tank like damage, excluding their initial opening stike that requires them to be hidden.

    Dominators do lesser damage than scrappers and blasters. Its even disputed they do less than controllers, assuming the controller is attacking a held mob (otherwise more damage).

    That, and once they lost their hide, they might as well just paint a target on themselves... they're almost as fragile as a blaster.
