    Awesome, exactly what I was looking for. Looks great MrLiberty, also thank you for the tips Mortilance!

    Where would you place the additional slots Mortilance?

    Cheers.

    Here's my planned stalker build, is the defense too low? I put in a few procs, but not enough recharge in the attacks? Mostly going to zone pvp. No purps/pvp ios please.

    Should I be using the spirtual alpha slot?

    Trying to io out my old thugs/dark mm, base is flooded with salvage so time to start crafting. I don't play this character enough to justify buying purps. Tried to build for s/l defense, but did not get very far. If anyone can give me some suggestions, I'd love to hear it.

    The truth is, no matter how much time and effort I put back into him nothing is going to make it as fun as it used to be to hit BU+TF+BS on boss 1 and ET+Gloom on boss 2 and know that they were out of the fight.

    I would suggest rerolling as Kinetic Melee/ELA. You get a fun build up power that is great on fury chasing brutes. Your attacks do -damage which is awesome on a Res based set and that is in addition to most of the attacks also doing stun or kd. You get a pbaoe that has the same radius as Whirling Hands but doesn't suck. A nice little ranged attack instead of Stun. in short KM is just about what EM should have been.

    This was exactly what I was looking for, thank you so much!

    I just got done with running around on my EM/ELE, and I too had much love for it. I remember the good old days when it was the perfect av slayer and was pretty fun to joust around in zone pvp.

    So much has changed, it definitely feels slower. This wasn't the brute I leveled to 50, so I am going to take your advice and as soon as GR gets here, I'll be rolling with Kinetic/Ele. If you have any build references that would be very helpful, I see stamina has become inherent!

    Back after a long hiatus, my first 50 was this brute, can't try him out yet as I am redling the client - but was wondering what I can expect to see? I retired from CoX a few months before the energy melee nerf so all I know is that ET and TF have been changed.
