Recommended Stats
Intellect > Strength > Discipline
- Intellect is the main stat. Shadowshot is the defining trait of a Nightstalker, whether using it for add control, PvP kills, or the damage buff, you want to use it as often as possible. Strength is the secondary support stat, mainly a priority to get those Vanish in Smoke’s ready ASAP. Also a huge deal when running Grasps or a Control build in PvP. Whether invis, damage, or trapping, Smoke is a powerful tool for the Nightstalker. Discipline is almost equal to Strength, choose this for a higher-damage lower-support build. However since all three grenades require non-moving targets, they are best pared with a smoke to get the full effect. Honestly I wouldn’t have this CD be lower than smokes for that reason.

Strategy
Description
“Draw from the Void. Light the way.”
All Hunters master the frontier, but none claim territory quite like a Nightstalker. Shadowshot binding may seem more merciful than gun or blade… until the feeding frenzy begins.
