Air superiority isnt really very good for a stalker. And you shouldnt consider it another atacking power, but of course if you want fly your gonna need to take that or hover....hmmm...id probably take hover if i went that way.
CJ/SJ or Hasten/SS are probably better alternatives.
The crit chance of AOEs should be 50%. When you run into 5-6 mobs your probably missing 1 or 2. Id recommend slotting accuracies if you plan to use the hide + spine burst tactic often.
So I felt like starting a stalker, and went for spines/regen (mainly to be different from all the ninja/ninja or MA/ninjas..), and though I'm only up to level 6, it seems fun
The one thing I am a little worried about is my lack of single target attacks - from my (very) limited experience of a spine scrapper in CoH Barbed Swipe is awful, and, while Spine Burst is wonderful, it's recharge and end cost are too high for killing single mobs - leaving me with just lunge until level 18. So, I was wondering whether Air Superiority is any good for a stalker (I'd take it a level 8). It would cover my travel power preq (I was originally going CJ/SJ, but I'd be happy with fly) and the knockup should help mitigate some damage when I'm scrapping. Thoughts?
Also, to save me starting another thread, what is the chance of a critical when using AEs from Hide? I run into a group of 5-6 mobs, use Spine Burst and usually get 1 critical, 2 if I'm lucky. Is this normal?
