Don't you guys think it has WAY too less of powers in the early levels?
It's just Build Up, AS, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge...
Placate!!
AS.
Lunge, Lunge, Lunge, Lunge...
All the way till 18.

Exactly. Then at 18 I took impale and now I'm built purely around AS and Impale, with a bit of Ripper thrown in if I'm in Sirens.
Ooh, you forgot throwing knives/hypodermic's/bad language... whatever the other inherrents are. 
Spines on stalkers, are abit like broadsword on scrappers, they both need abit of work untill they get kickstarted, but when time and patience has been put into them, the last powers will make you glad you bothered to level them 
Probably why I loved the RV event, coston.
Spines is more AoE based, which is why imo it's not so great for Stalkers, but hey, my opinion.

I love my spines stalker, but it is Impale... AS... no, that's it.
To qualify the above though, I'm still level 26, so I have an unslotted Ripper, though I understand, once slotted, the power is the stripy-insects leg-benders.
Aye Jacqueline, but its the same with most, im energy on my stalker, and its basicly - Bu - AS - ET 
Atleast you have a bonesmasher chain filler, and a useful 9th tier power.
bone smasher isnt very good mate, unless u got a critical AND build up
that equals half a squishies' life, that bonesmasher bu crit?
Nah, not very much at all, and plus by the time you have landed AS- energy transfer with placate etc. ya placate is recharging and bu has wore off

Wrong, Ninja blade doesn't have a PbAOE power, it doesn't get lotus drops like katana.
Spines main problem as mentioned in the thread is it starts of very slow, after 26 the spines set really kicks off.
Suprised no one has mentioned impale animation time as a problem with spines, but hey its an uber range attack, so people forget 
Oh yeah on another note about spines, apparently its fotm, so if you play it you have no skill its all the spines. /sarcasm

Spines is my opener from in hide, so the animation time can be extended to 25 minutes if the Devs want.
That would be fun, actually. You leave the zone, jet off to Atlas to do some strutting about with your 50 and some time later a set of flying spines appear from the train station, arrow past the base portal and SQUICK! Right in the back.
I had the Spine Burst AoE and Freespecced out of it, because it very, very rarely landed a critical out of hide.
