So... Stoker with the Stark.

(SpinnerzNQ) #1

I got a cobalt Stoker with a Stark AR. I don’t like it. I luckily have a great bronze of him with the Timik, but what do you guys think of Stark Stoker?

Starker is pretty good after the Stark AR change, in my opinion. But I don’t like burstfire so I don’t use it. I can’t deny its power, though.

If you have the M4 on your Merc, you use it. It is too strong to not be used if available.

Before, burst rifles weren’t really that different from fully automatic. After the update, the stark is a lot better. It rewards accuracy and it’s great over mid-range.

I like stark stoker, molotov isn’t really a cqc in–your-face kind of ability. Same with the stark. Basically you sacrifice some cqc for range, but if you get good enough you can be good at cqc too.

Would have used him with the Stark if SD wouldn’t have “changed” it to what it is now, stopped playing the game now because the Shotgun/KEK-10/M4 meta isn’t exactly what i want from a game.

Waiting for that big title that is pretty similar and around the courner, hope that it will be better.

No reason to stop playing the game, I see plenty of people using other weapons besides what you mentioned. I think smg’s are considered better than shotguns although I’m not sure (mainly relevant for mercs who have access to both).

Stark is only good if you can use it. Otherwise it’ll feel like trash and you’d wish you’d be running the M4/Timik.

Exactly, you actually have to learn the gun.

The Stark is very precise after this update, go sniper mode with it.

Don’t like sniper mode? Go with the M4. Think the Timik looks cool? Use the Timik instead.

All of his guns are good, but the Stark is VERY different from his other two guns.

I personally like the stark on stoker, I prefer precise and hard hitting guns. Though it would be nice if they reduced the recoil on the burst fire guns a smidgen to give them better hit consistency since they have a much lower RoF now and rely much more on accuracy.

If you dont like using a slower weapon long range weapon that needs much better precision, then using one of the assault rifles would be better. The timik is quite strong at room clearing which fits stoker’s molotov’s quite nicely. Then the m4 is just good all around if you prefer a gun you can perform reliably in all situations.

If the Stark’s scope didn’t take up so much screen for inexplicable reasons I’d probably consider using it…

I’ve got three videos up that show the new BR16 and Stark in action. So far I am HIGHLY impressed with them. Way more than I expected (I did think they would be awful though). They are pinpoint accurate on every burst so there is no need to adjust or pull down like you did in the past and the bullet groupings are crazy. I pull down on every gun in this game as I fire and I don’t pull down on either the BR16 or the Stark.

As @CCP115 said, the guns are used very well for ranged. They basically work like a long range super accurate shotgun since you can door strafe with them and deal a ton of damage while not exposing yourself. I kept killing people way faster than I’m used to with both guns (especially the Stark when you hit headshots due to the 9 extra damage) and that really surprised me.

The downside is you have to have good tracking, as you do with all weapons in DB, but also good timing on when to fire and not panic easily. So they are definitely going to take more time for some people to learn how to use them compared to the way they were before when they were mostly automatic rifles you couldn’t go full auto with.

I honestly feel, over time if nothing changes, that there might be a serious movement towards these weapons getting a lot more high-end play.

After sitting down for a while with the Stark and Stoker, I’m actually growing to like the Stark. If you can land your bursts on the body, you’re already pretty set, if you can land them on the head, it’s pretty much a laser beam.
