Doomed for failure from the start...advice falls on deaf ears

My perspective is as follows:

Scrapper: Fire, BS
Scrapper Secondary: Regen

Stalker: Elec, Spines, DM/EM
Stalker Secondary: WP, Regen, Nin

Blaster: Psy, Sonic/Fire, Rad
Blaster Secondary: EM, MM

Corr: Sonic, Fire/Rad
Corr Secondary: Therm, Cold

Tanks: SS, EM
Tanks Secondary: Fire, Inv

Brutes: SS, EM
Brutes Secondary: Inv, Fire

That being said, I don't think you can go wrong with any of the above. Although there are few that stands out above others, i.e. Psy blaster

It's pretty amazing, how varied the slotting is for Impale. Thx for info.

Having originally had fighting pool over phase and respec'd into phase, it definitely is the way to go at least for zones (I haven't tried it out in arena yet). There are quite few benefits, but mainly:
1. gives you a way out of that "oh crap" moment most of time
2. allows you to get kills when opponents phase

With DR the benefit of tough just doesn't match the benefit of phase.

macskull, your build only has 3 -kb IOs + acro. Do you have an updated build for the Rad/Psy? I am assuming that it needs to have at least 41pts.

I have been running Spines/Nin/Mako, but I want to give Shadow Meld a try. I am planning to go the following pools:
- Speed (hasten, SS)
- Leaping (cj, sj, acro)
- Fitness (hurdle, health, stamina)
- Concealment (stealth, invis, phase)

My question is can I forgo Kuji-In Retsu and take Blinding Powder (6 slotted) since I will have Shadow Meld. Or is Kuji-In Retsu valuable enough that I should be taking it, or figure a way to fit both of them in?

So what's the recommended slotting for Impale on a Spines/Nin stalker?

I'm leaning towards:
1 Nuc, 2 Centi, 1 Acc IO, 2 dmg proc

or would going for straight dmg be better?
3 Nuc, 3 dmg proc

Or any other combinations?

Both Liberty and Victory seem to have moved their PvP to Freedom as well.

Slight off topic, just need confirmation that with Integration, that there is no need of -KB IOs in the build?

Thx ConFlict for the build. It's pretty close to the build that I respec'd into, but I ended up going with Mako for shark and hibernate (plus phase). I also skipped on Fast Healing for SoW for end recovery purposes. As for slotting, on my pve build I had set of ToD on Havoc Punch, set of Mako's on AS, and set of Obliteration on both Thunder Strike and Lightning Rod. In order to pull other IO's out first, I kept them there for now. Since I have several respecs left on the toon, I will change them at a later time.

If you see "Ms. Danielle" that's me. See you in Freedom RV.

How would you slot the following attacks for a staminaless Elec/WP/Mako stalker:

Thunderstrike (6 slots):
AS (6 slots):
Shark (6 slots):
Havoc Punch (5 or 6 slots): should I slot for purples (Fortunata) set bonus or actually slot for attack (will have at least the Fortunataroc)
