I personally enjoy the hold. If slotted for damage it does a decent amount of DoT. It's also a knock up and a hold so that helps to keep your target off it's feet long enough to Placate and crit or AS. The hold is also nice to detoggle rad debuffs and other types of Anchor debuffs you might have on you.
The snipe is nice as well just situational. I like to open with the snipe, hit Soul Storm (LOL), then placate and AS. When it crits and Procs it does some mean damage. Also the Snipe sets are pretty nice IMO.
It's always good to have another O crap button, but depending on your build and recharge I would say you can leave out Shadow Meld being a Regen.
So in short I would go with the hold for sure and then depending on your play style stay with Dark Blast or go with the Snipe. Hope that helps man.

So, i'm re slotting my stalker, he's decent but i'm about to put a good 2 bil into a 50 and 30 pvp build (probably gonna put 3 nucleolus and 3 strong damage procs in every attack). I've been using soul mastery for shadowmeld, dark blast, and soul whatever it was called. With my changes I can only afford 2 patron pool powers, and i'm not sure if i really want shadowmeld anymore. afterall, for me regen is based on reactive "oh crap" buttons, has no defense to start with and with 2 heals, phase shift and MoG I've gotten good with my ability to get in and out of a fight at whim.
I've also found that the hold from shadow storm or w/e its called lasts about 1-1.5 seconds and the animation alone is longer then that. I'm debating taking the snipe and shadowmeld, or water spout and hibernate. How does water spout play out in pvp? if YOU were to chose a patron pool, and only 2 powers from it, what would they be?
Thanks.

I was in that same boat, and it came down to me choosing Mako, and no, it actually wasn't "just" because I wanted to "trow moar sharks" lol! I actually wanted it mostly because it's the fastest patron hold available to Stalkers, plus it packs some -fly with it, which can be pretty helpful at times when pvping in zones.
But Mako all around is just pretty good, I mean if you didn't want/need the hold or -fly from it, you could always just grab Spirit Shark and Hibernate. It's basically win/win imho.
Wohoo, just spent 1 billion, need to farm up another 500 mill though for the rest and thats just for the lvl 50 build.
gonna make a lvl 30 build just as expencive for SC also.
Can't wait to finish and put him into action.
