Super Reflexes and Power Pool Selection

Not really, people attack with single attacks 95% of the times, as its dps is usually higher. When I play my stalker I only are about AoE's right after I've used placate. Being as tight as stalkers builds are, imo having really high melee and ranged defenses is capital

75% of some corrupter and dominator attacks are cones, at best you are leaving yourself open to 25% of attacks. I have done the numbers before and missing out aoe def is suicude, I hate sc on my bs/sr without my cone/aoe def.

Maybe I was just lucky so far then, but haven't had real issues in sc or wb. If that starts to happen I'll respec, but so far I think my build does well. Even if it was 25% of the attacks, AoEs are usually less damaging than single target attacks, and slower recharge, which shouldn't be a huge problem having aid self too, imo

its not aoes but cones that are the problem, for example fearsome stare will tag you every time in SC, there also some suspicion that melee cones like ripper and shadow maul are counted as cones as opposed to melee

I'd like to point out that a huge amount of a stalkers AoE defence comes from hide 3 slotted.
/nin is like 60% AoE def (84% with danger sence)
/SR 60% odd AoE def
Not sure on the others tho
its lets you get close to those nasty spine scrappers

Edit: well you learn summat new everyday.. hide on all the sets are 60% 3 slotted

Defiant's GoEH/MILITIS METUS

I respecced my Claws/SR stalker taking out all the non toggles and replaced them with stimulant and aid self.

Took her into Warburg to hunt toxic tarantulas and don't really get hit that much more often but don't mind so much when I do anymore as I can heal the damage quickly.

I am getting the non-toggles back but at lvl 38 and 41 instead.
Dropped elude as it is nice but boy the crash is a killer.

To be perfectly honest I think that in RV pvp the sides are imbalanced. Tankers and scrappers can get focused accuracy = Defense Secondaries do very little. Brutes and STalkers get.....pets. Woo. Plus I noticed that none of the builds available in COV allow for a personal +acc toggle. Except for Invincibility. I'd rather go for one of Regen/Ninjitsu/Dark for pvp. Ninjitsu atleast has the extra placate, and regen has the 2 self heals not to mention the super mez protection, and dark just has an element of survivability to it, not to mention psionic damage resist (fun).
Really, your build is how you want it to be. Most builds have the ability to be good at pvp, just need the right slotting is all.

/dark, end heavy as hell, go /dark and see how fast your end burns lol
