How do you build a stalker?

I've played this game for 4-5 years. I've taken a break here and there for deployments and such, but I love it. Getting ready to make a stalker, but my question is, how do you make a succesful stalker for pvp and pve content? I have heard that for pvp you need leadership and stealth, and a second travel power? Whats the trade off pve side? Do I just make a second build now that thats an option?


Willpower has more passive regen than Regen does. Who thought that was a good idea?

Can we get a fix for Energy Melee instead of more new sets?

For PvP you have to get to the stealth cap (Hide + stealthIO + Stealth OR Hide + Invis). You will have a difficult time in zone PvP until you get to the cap. In PvE, having Hide is enough. So if you can afford it a second build is nice to have.

Having two travel powers is nice but not needed. Superspeed lacks vertical movement but it lets you ignore slows. Superjump is perhaps the best all around travel power for PvP. Fly, by itself, is not a good travel power for melee types in PvP...it is too slow. TP used to be a great escape power in PvP, now it ain't so great (thanks to travel suppression). If you are going to have 2 travel powers in PvP then SJ + SS is the way to go IMO. On most of my PvP toons I just take SJ.
