...I don't respond like this normally but, you've forced me to. Have you even seen slash in action compared to swipe? HELLO! Swipe, instant hit with DoT. Slash has a 2 second wind up like you're about to throw a fast ball. Not to mention this build is about speedy attacks/hit and run without standing there for even 1 second (which you'll have to stand there for about 3) for the next power to recharge. It's hit hit placate, kill. The only way you can get that windup out of the way is doing it while hidden and if you do that while hidden for the buff instead of Assassin strike, I would prefer you to delete your stalker and make yourself a brute or mastermind.

Three things....
1) I'm asking because I DON'T know the class well, and I assumed you wrote it to help familarize people with it.
2) Swipe has an very long animation as well (like flurry, it happens during the attack, as opposed to be before it), does less damage then Slash, and doesn't have the Defense debuff.
3) Have you looked at the actual Stalker Forums? Just about every guide and build Suggest staying AWAY from Swipe for the reasons I cited above in #2, which is why I was asking in the first place.......
