If you want a dual purpose build, go with Elec/WP. If you want a primarily PvE build with PvP as a "when I feel like it" style, go Elec/Nin.
With WP, it's very easy to self cap your HP with just HPT and the accolades. Both sets have a click heal, so Hasten is always recommended (plus it gets Lightning Rod available more often).
"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

IIRC if you slot HPT for heal, you're capped with just Invader, forget the other Accolades. My /Nin is capped on hit points with accolades and the set bonuses I ended up getting while trying to soft-cap her defense.
Stalkers in general are easy to self-cap hit points. If you're unable to cap WP you're not even trying.

Yeah, but getting the accolades means you can free up those heal slots for other powers. It's a bit more effort, but worth it in the long run.

According to MiDS, take HPT, get the accolades, and you're HP capped without putting a heal enhancement in HPT.
BrandX Future Staff Fighter
The BrandX Collection
High Pain Tolerance is +20% hp.
High Pain Threshold is +10% hp.
Invader is +5% hp.
Born in Battle is +5% hp.
Kinetic Combat offers +1.5% for 3-slotting it, as do Mako's Bite and Touch of Death - all three sets are used frequently for attempting to boost defense.
Luck of the Gambler and Crushing Impact both offer +1.13% and are also fairly commonly used in many builds.
Devastation provides 2.25%, and Apocolypse is 3% if you really need that extra boost.
To cap the hp on a Stalker you need +33.3% hp; you certainly don't need all of (or any of) the accolades if you take HPT, slotted or no.
And if one slot is so hard to come by on your build (2 slotted with 50 common IOs HPT is +28.3%, add in Invader and you're capped) then I suggest that there might be some other powers overslotted. If anything I'd complain about the wasted power pick of HPT over the fact that you'd have to put an extra slot (or two, for the Res/+Def IO(s) but you also have MOB for that/those) in it.

But but. Who doesnt want to set up overnight SC camping and overnight dmg farms? Or using all their patrol XP running around grandville to get one shotted over and over. Who doesnt want to monitor their leveling speed and remember to do every bank mission. Who doesn't want to run all over the zones badge and plaque reading? Who doesn't want to hunt down marcone campos in port oaks? What fun is there in the game if you dont do these things? Lol

Hiya,
Well first I havnt played a stalker...well since the cap for villians was 40.
I have brutes/mm/corruptors/doms...now I want to be able to kick butt on a Stalker.
I like elec melee...but is that really the "awesome sauce" IM looking for? Dont know for sure.
leaning towards /wp or /ninja for secondary.
I do more pve than pvp ...howeve that being said Id love to find a very nice pvp stalker (and learn how to pvp LOL)
Once again I havnt played a stalker in a very long time and it was spines/sr (34)
So advice/suggestions/builds/winning lotto numbers/stories/experiences(gaming)/helpful stuff would be mucho appreciated
Thanks in advance.
