Need help with a EM/Regen Stalker for PvP.

Hello, I'm thinking of making a Energy Melee/Regen stalker for PvP only. I will be Zone PvP'ing in SC, WB, and RV.

I made my BS/Regen scrapper into a monster, so I know the regen set pretty good. However, for a Stalker, I assume you build for damage, then recharge? or both, i don't know.

I would appreciate any feedback and some good PvP builds and tips.

I wouldn't go for EM. Only because it isn't the best set out there. It got nerf'ed from where it was. If you want a good primary, I suggest DM or almost even claws.

I already picked it. I just need help with what to build on with IO Set's.

Damage first and then HP or Recharge?

Well with a regen I'd go with recharge first then damage then hp only cause your gonna want those heals up asap. And I think it's pretty easy any way to HP cap a stalker.

I have a lvl 50 EM/Reg Stalker I have been PvPing with since CoV Launch and does great. With this build your gonna want to go with RECH, +HP and Damage Res. +rech for fast heal, +HP for more regen and Damage resistance to take less damage. In my opinion, Damage resistance and Regen go hand in hand, Take less damage and heal away whats left. I built my reg to scrap in PvP (some will swear up and down that Stalkers cant scrap, but they are wrong, especially now since the Stalker Buff in i12 I believe. More HP and Higher Damage numbers), with some IO sets and Tough I have about 20% Dam Res to S/L which is nice. Energy Melee is still good, so dont worry about that. I wouldnt worry too much about +damage in your IO Set build, with out of Hide Stealth attacks, Placate and Energy Melee still dealing a consideral amount of damage from crits, you should be fine.

I'd go with damage, followed by recharge with HP when you can work it in. With accolades, you only need around 13% HP increase from IO's to hit the cap.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

Yea, I thought about going with damage first, then recharge.

Now, I just need to play with Mids, and find the IO Set's that focus on what I need the most.

So, thanks for the advice guys.

Ah.... Well nice to see you here too. xP As I replied in PvP forum, yes, I'd personally go +damage first then +recharge. (and maybe +hp since it usually comes with +damage. ex, Mako set) but that's just me =/
