I think the most scrapperish in my eyes would be katana/ninjitsu but regen would be pretty good to.
stalkers have powers that give a chance to critical while not in hide like Golden Dragonfly or Eagle Claw, this is basicly a chance to do double damage altho its a fairly small percentage chance.
Personaly if given the choice of MA or Claws i'd go MA everytime.

so ripper does not have a chance to crit while unhidden like eviscerate : / i though it only had been forgotten in the power description :/
nope theres not a spine power that can do a critical .. probably because of the DoT poison.
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
Iv only rolled out two stalkers and from personal play, claws/regen does a good job at the scrapping. Regen has 3 heals as u know which when used correctly can turn u in to a real fighting machine with no need to be runnin away to get back in to hide. Claws, handy for the fast recharges and not to heavy on the end, damage does lack a bit companred to energy, but all powers got pros and cons. Critical hit off eviscerate gives double damage, although doesnt happen to often, still useful when it does.
i'm not to fond of claws but its getting some love in i7 so that'll be intresting to see but i have to admit MA in CoH has always been considered to be the single target boss killer and my fav scrapper was a MA/regen.
So if i was making a scrapper stalker i probably go MA/regen and take kick and tough or katana/ninjitsu with divine avalanche and go for defence.
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
I play a Ninja blade/Ninjitsu stalker , i can preety much scrap anyone to there death because of divine avalanche stacking twice. When you got that up all the time, you are virtually impossible to hit even when the enemy uses BU for melee attacks. Regens are a pain in the [censored] and i have had fights for as long as 30-40minutes in a 1v1duel going toe to toe, and both of us very close to death at times..
But regen on a stalker is probably not the best idea to go because there HP is significantlly lower than a scrappers , meaning if somone lands some sexy crits on u your preety much dead and you can get 2-3shotted when the enemy uses BU.
If your gonan scrap with stalker, id say Take Ninjitsu/Ninja blade, because of the defense u get from ninja blade and the heal from ninjitsu. SR is good to, but SR doesnt get a heal so you got not a chance in hell lasting as long as a ninja

That pretty much goes for any stalker tho .. a blaster with BU+Aim is going to hit any stalker no matter what set you have..even with just BU.
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
AIM+BU will chop through anything lol, but anything that tries to attack you in melee combat even with BU , they will probably not succedd in hitting you.
does the DoT of ripper is enough to equal eviscerate potential crit possibility ?

for the -fly and range attack
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
you mean spine is better cause only of impal which is loooong to triger than an other whole set ? (claw taht can be added of air sup for the - fly?)
only that ?
i though i had missed something.
I scrap quite happly with my claws regen, even when it really could use a respec, but it soloed all the way from 30-40, on relentless with little in the way of downtime, just the odd bit waiting for build up to charge on +2 bosses. Never tried a MA/Ninja so cant comment, plus claws do have some advantages.
Quick recharges, low end compared to other stalkers, they look cool, and you get a ranged attack with focus which the vast majority of the time will knockdown, same with shockwave (cone, with KD) and evicerate can crit when out of hide. Personally i think claws is quite underrated and I find it a lot more fun than my EM/EA

i think most ppl take spines due to the poison which is least resisted and for the -fly/immob and the fact stalkers can't hide due to the DoT tick.

care to comment on why you have aid other and aid self ?neither of which could be used in combat anyway plus ninjitsu has its own heal 
not flaming or anything just asking
Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS
Actually, even though it is abit odd why i do have them , that extra heal is soo handy as kujinsha charges every 30 secs when that heal self recharges every 10 seconds. Its bloody good for scrapping lol.
Aid self can be used in combat, especially if given one or two interrupt reductions. For a Def set, it's a very viable option to increase survivability.

"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
i try for a while tomake the more scrappiest stalker i can?
i had thought of claw or martial art but rolled a spine after i saw a slyfe video
but i wonder if spine is thebest for what i intend. i find impal animation longer than focus one and ripper don't have an extra crti potential like MA or claw (btw what exactly mean this extra crit?)
does the poison damage of ripper compensate the extra critik of eviscerate?
is MA or claw better for scrappy stalker?
