Stalkes?

I've just started with a stalker and he seem pretty good. Just wondering is they are good for the long run, preferably into TOB aswell?.

Thanks

Any class is good for the long haul it’s all a matter of developing them and equipping them.

A stalker would do well with the shadow dragon armor and any number of weapons. Katana, long sword, short bow are good combinations.

Stalkers are Good For:

Backstabbing enemies, perhaps even more effectively than a Thief (although the Stalker's Backstab Multiplier is not as high, they have a much better THAC0, so they have better odds of making the hit.)
Sneaking around and scoping out the bad guys, before they even know they're there
Sneaking to be just within somebody's sight range, shooting an arrow into their eye, then running out of sight and going into Stealth again, giggling

Stalkers are NOT Good For:
Finding and Disarming Traps
Backstabbing with any weapon that a normal Thief couldn't use
Charging headlong into battle
