So are there any decent controller builds worth trying since PVP 2.0 came out?

Does anyone know how many +hp buffs I'll need to max out with DR?

How good is lightning rod in pvp situations?

Here's a sample of what I'd like to have when I'm done.

slotting End mod in your attack powers? that's what I call a waste for a stalker =x

One 50 End Mod only adds like 1 to 1.5 end each attacks.

[/ QUOTE ]
1 lvl 50 end mod adds 42% to the recovery debuff, gives you more end if it's awarded that attack and only takes another 4.2% end from target.

CB, HP, JL and CI can all be slotted with an end mod IO. Granted that's not much for 1 power to really be worth it but slotted in all it can be will suck down more end from my target for those longer duels.

Does anyone get good use out of moonbeam for kills? If there's no obstacles around bu+AS+placate+moonbeam should=dead target

for lower lvl pvp

A dueling build will be later on in this toons life. It will do better with end mod's slotted in the attacks so it will drain more when it hits.
But nobody answered my quesiton. How should I focus my slotting and power picking?

Ok, tried some pvp in sirens with my test build. Did pretty good in a duel with a regen scrap that I almost won, only had acc slotted in my attacks except AS. Did a respec and tweaked it more to pvp taking all available powers from the secondary and only havoc punch, AS, thunderstrike, bu and placate from the primary and stealth, hasten+ss, cj+sj. Tried another duel with the same scrap and I was doing some better dmg but was sucking wind w/out stamina. I was more focused with slotting up my secondary for protection than my primary for dmg. Should I really be worried about buffing my protection first or equal it out with the dmg or full on dmg?

does the ghost widow ppp hold up good in pvp? how bad does DR nerf shadow meld?

What about the toggles? Do I need mind over body? I know I need heightened senses. What attacks from the primary would be least wanted for pvp?

Ok so I've finally decided on a stalker to play to 50 and it's an elec/wp. I've dabbled with stalkers before but was never able to get one very high level. I mainly want to PVP with this guy after I hit 50 and respec and rearange my slots, till then I'll dabble with my experimental build seeing as how I've never played elec melee or wp. Does anyone have any recomended builds or what power pools should be mandatory?

KO blow on any toon is gonna pack a whollop :P

Oh yes KO blow is glorious, made playing that fire/ss tank to 50 very fun. I'm torn on bile spray or the immob cone. On one hand you have a least defended/resisted dmg type and on the other you have an immob to keep down the runners.

What can I say I"m unconventional lol.

What's a good patron for pvp to go with for a merc/trap mm? I'm considering mako for knockout blow.
