But the ability to stealth through just about anything you want (barring Rikti) is AWESOME for soloing. The only problem is that you tend to buzz through the content so quickly that you end up short on xp once you hit the late 20's-early 30's. And teams are hard to come by as a stalker (if you decide to team to fill the gap). They just don't fit a team dynamic well. But if you're a content junkie, a stalker is a way to see EVERYTHING in the game. It's a hoot. In terms of playing, I recommend taking Hasten and your Tier 9. They will help you get Placate/BU/AS/Tier 9 back up as quickly as possible, yet also still help your overall survivability.

And there's my thoughts on them. Hope it helped somewhat. Have fun!

Tank fire melee attacks do not cause foes to run. Burn causes foes to run. Burning Aura does not. (dev logic)

Also, if you want a little bit more survivability, +HP and +Regen work great with defense sets. You won't notice anything from losing the psi defense. I've "tanked" a MoLRSF before with my Fort with minimal problems.

What I know about a budget build is that it takes a limited sum of influence to make.

Now not knowing what that limit was I settled for the exclusion of Purples. This in a world where a complete beginner asks for a build to get started gets nothing but purple builds.

Since I'm sick of the game, I'm only taking people that know their stuff. (Level 50's that have done the 5SF and ITF before). I'm bringing my old, classing sonic/thermal corruptor as usual. No fillers. I just wanna be done with it, get it over and forget it ever happened!

EDIT Friday: um, ok folks... There's been less than 50 players redside for a couple of days, this friday is shaping up to be as bad. I doubt it's even worth trying to get team together. With GR very far away an no info on the next issue I could go d0000m in this post. Not sure it's worth paying for GR in 6 months(?) if there's noone to play with.

Maybe you could use broken placate proc to somehow keep the agro from yourself. ?? Just a thought.

Second, what would be the best build for a FF Defender.
