EM/ninjitsu Stamina question

Hi, just a quite question=
Do I need stamina for a stalker?
my build so far is:
Hide, ninja reflexes
Energy punch, bone smasher, AS, Build Up
hasten
just about to hit lvl12 and looking at plan to lvl20
I wanted to take=
placate, super speed, stealth, stun and danger senses
Do I need to plan 3 pwr slots for the road to stamina at lvl20? or can i live without it till later?
any help would be great.

tbh em drinks end like water. so u need to put end and and stamina.and get stamina before lvl24

Thanks Soaring Dragon

reckon I'll have to drop something, stun probably

not taking kuji-in rin or kuji-in sha ?

If you're going to scrap, you'll need stamina. If you're going to play a STALKER, you can get by without it, or at least with taking it at a later level.

At the moment i have a LV26 EM/Nin stalker without stamina and don't find it a major problem, Just need to rest alot in pve.

My build is mainly for Pvp so I haven't skipped Stun and can run Hide + Stealth + Danger Sense + Fly at the same time not losing any end (slotted with End reds) so i can get in hit and get out, I don't scrap.

I must add Kuji-in-sha (available at lv20) has saved me many times and wouldn't skip Kuji-in-rin as i like this being a click mez protection rather than toggle.

Hope I helped in some way

thanks Max, DD and Chelsea (my fav avatar btw, except maybe that guy that does the backflip and fails on the US forums), I dont want to be a scrapper so i'll try and do without stamina, i've been slotting end redux in things, will help when i get DOs and SOs in there.
I took placate and SS last night, was planning stealth, danger senses next. Also planning on taking both the Kuji-in pwrs both look good.
Stalking may not need stamina, as I spend most of the time running away after main strike and hidding.
Thanks again guys

The point is, if you want to scrap you need your elude (retsu 9tier) which gives more recovery than stamina or you want buffs , so you most likely get a speed boost.
So basically dont go for stamina (unless you use end hog toggles like fly constantly), a real stalker needs so many powers so stamina cant fit in.

Now I dont suggest you "Stun", cosider total focus is a better and 100% stun (80% chance to be mag4!), ET is a 80% chance, bone smash 50% and punch 30%.

stun is only good in pvp if u got tp foe. but still u much better of without it.

We're all saying we don't need Stamina for a Stalker? I find this really pretty strange. If EM is anymore end heavy than my 38 Katana/Nin, then you're gonna need Stamina. If you plan on soloing, you will need to scrap at times. You can't AS all 3 enemies in a group ya know, and bosses take a bit of work. Now, if you're gonna be scrapping and the end is anything like my Kata/Nin, then you'll deffo need Stamina, god, my endurance struggles even with Stamina. I'd go for it. Everything needs Stamina really, with the exception of Kinetics or MMs.

Seems like a popular build. For my EM/Nin stalker for PvP I am getting concealment, teleportation and speed pools. For last I am undecided on leadership, flight or jumping so really no room for fitness and I think it can be playable without, esp. with elude equiv.

For PvE however I think stamina would help alot.

One thing for PvP and PvE for */Nin is that Nin has no protection from KB at all so acrobatics should seriously be considered IMO, while fly can help your in trouble if u get a -fly on you.

I agree in pve would help, but tbh with my EM/nin, I solo warburg missions at max rep in little time, AS one, ET other placate TF other Dont forget that devs made rest recharge fast! rest is a forgotten power..really.

Hehe... teamed PvE I ment.... any need need for more then 4 powers otherwise?

Edit: Actually with kill all mishs yup there is .
