I was thinking of getting her next, she looks really fun. How does the minion act as it stands right now? I'd assume it would go for nearest target.

Yeah I shouldn't have gone with Hans on Short Fused, not sure what I was thinking since your team had no long range fighters, would have been a cake walk! I always rock with Shae there, and did later that night, and still had a Doldren to deal with.

I do not consider him OP at all, I actually think he's pretty weak so far and could use a buff of some kind. But he nature of being able to appear outside of a player's field of view is extremely valuable, even when I'm watching and waiting for Doldren I still mess up some times, or slide when I hear the sound and they go for a grab. But he's so squishy it's easy to kill him if his trick doesn't work.

Main thing to remember when fighting him.... he can't go up to high ground when ghosting.

I don't think he's OP for Wardogs, Hades Devision or 5th Council, I think he's OP for the Aliens faction. You have to be extremely clever with them just to break even in a match against him (unless the Doldren player is not using him right, and I've seen this "run and gun" Doldren not being stealthy at all). He has huge advantages over them. Especially with certain cards. 

Although that could all change with Harec's new rifle. I think it's more of an assault weapon.

Depending on gun/map Doldren has few answers for Harec, imo.

You say run away, but on most maps stalk can provide line of sight to the entire map. On huge maps stalk should still save you from ambush. Several occasions I just jump when they teleport.

Yes, depending on the map, you are right. But certain maps, like Short Fused for instance, Harec really has to go out of the way to stalk Doldrens dormant body, because I ONLY leave my body ALL the way at the beginning. That puts Harec far out of the way of his operation as an atnag if he wants to get me. And when He does stalk and I find his little smoke shroud I just wait as a spirit right on it... and when he comes back I materialize punch him as soon as I see him. And that pretty much ends him. If he's smart he should bluff me.

To your credit, I really haven't tested Doldren on many other maps. I have to see how he does for others. I can already think of a few that Harec could get me always.

Most Doldren players play him foolishly and go astral form in a spot that is too close. You have to take the time to run ALL THE WAY to the farthest point on the map. That way you are too far and removed for a sniper, even Harec, to reach unless he goes into enemy territory, and if they really want to seek you out and kill your body, fine, then your allies can focus on the objective while the antag is taking a jog to the edge of the map (depends on the map). Most of my mistakes as Doldren verses the antag is not being patient enough and waiting for my allies when I didn't have to. I tries to solo too much, and that's not great unless you are stalking a sniper antag, they only have 60 health and that two hits or one head shot. But other antags, like fricken Hanz, you have to be patient.

I remember that match and it was NERVE WRECKING! I wasn't all, "Yay! We won!" at the end, I was like, "S***, I need to log off." PvP isn't for everyone, even if you win. I don't even like Doldren, I just use him because I'm sick of antagonists. And on certain maps, and if you play conservative and VERY difficult and don't get too excited (like I did), you can at least win the match.

I really feel bad for alien snipers though, they REALLY can't do anything against him. I felt HORRIBLE after dominating a really high level Harec Antag, and it was just me the WHOLE match. I focused on hunting him and nothing else. But I also know the gut will destroy us on Short Fused and has before when I DIDN'T play Doldren. That being said, I felt like S*** after the match. But they force this on us, nothing else we can do.

So... set tazer to stun?

That would make things amazingly easier. I could lock down an elite for harvesting for my allies.

Alicia would shatter your hipbone good sir... Just saying...

Yes...yes she would....

It's the same, I've heard, with Doldren's rare.

You have to shoot in the body with Harec, not sure about Doldren. Sometimes I head shot their snipers anyways, because they're sniping me. But the big boss guys I body shot so allies can grab him. Problem is, they never do.
