Esifex:
Now that we're on the topic of Stalkers :D!

Full Strip is a nasty skill, yes, but it's also a double-edged sword. The after-cast delay from each attempt is painful; if it fails, you've got a right large bit of time before you can do anything, including attack. However, the individual Divests don't have any aftercast delay, so if you go in order of the most critical gear - Weapon, Armor, Helm, Helm, Shield (if they wear a shield), you can potentially pop off all the parts immediately, and on the off-chance that they fail, well, hey, you have no aftercast delay to mess you up. Backslide if necessary, Chase Walk, Hide, whatever.
Multiple casts of Divest Helm to pull off middle and lower headgear, as well - or upper, if it stripped off mid/low the first time around.

The only advantage that Full Strip has over the individual strips is that it doesn't actually pop up over your character if it fails with a goofy 'Full Strip !!' banner. But you still have to be within one tile of the target, so it gets rather obvious what you're up to if you're humping their leg and not doing any attacks or hiding or Raiding or whatevering.
Also, Dex and Luk are the Divest defense stats - not Agi.

Oh I thought it was AGI. Either way FS Stalker is going to have no problems divesting a SinX as they tend to only get 50 or so DEX in order to connect hits at a decent rate.

Kirin:
Complete newbie to RO here. Hopping on Essence. Once I get the client downloaded.

Reading through four pages of builds and discussions has left my mind sore. Is min-maxing really that important?

Edit: Actually, stupid question. Min-maxing is ALWAYS important. >_> Well, I'll just putter my way through my first character and see how things go then.

helvetica:
I'm... not sure who plays on essence anymore. We've (as in MotK) had our own server for about a month now.

Kirin:
Oh. And that would be HatRO, I'm guessing? I'm SO lost right about now. It was 3am when I posted that. I knew you guys had your own server, but I didn't see anyone posting about switching or anything, so I assumed both servers had MotK people on them.

Could I have a link to HatRO, if you don't mind?
