Melee Energy / ?

Hi,

I'm new and I want to make a Stalker for PvP..
What's the best spec with Melee energy and why plz?

Peronal point of view, and for a staminaless build i took energy aura, great 16.5% base s/l (thats 25,74% with 3 even SO's) def defence plus the 1,8% def from hide, and if your taking jump another 3% def for free .

Energy Drain and conserve power is nice also, only got to 28 so far, but energy drain does make a hell of a differance.

Taking all attacks in your build you can slot for either pvp ie stealth and grant invis or pve aid other or stim and aid self, personal preferance really, you don't need fitness pool, and can scrap n teams as well, as you can carry more purps and greens in later stages of game ie after lvl 28.

Works for me, maybe not for you.

Above all have fun.

EM/ninjitsu would be my choice as theres alot of fear around and the heal is tasty

Pesonally (as i have 1 myself) I would go for EM/SR. Sr has always been good...and when you think about it, upon getting energy transfer, agile and dodge...using energy transer as your first attack out of hide its gonna get a critical and then get a defense bonus from agile and dodge, still with the defense bonus from hide. Its a pretty good defense and a especially powerful 1st attack.
My only worry is that theyre going to nerf it lol

The last 2 EM powers actually dont crit out of Stealth. Energy Transfer deals no damage to you out of Staelth and i think Total Focus does not get the full Crit Damage from outta hide. Though SR is a good set for Stalkers. Unlike Nin it does not provide Confuse/Fear Resist, but therefor has Slow Res, which is nice as well. Plus it provides some resist to def debuff, which Nin has not as well. In the End considering performance I dont think there is a lot of difference between those 2 sets (Nin and SR).

To my best knowledge, retsu gives defdebuff resistance.

As for energy melee, Id say stay away from barrage and stun, all other attacks are at least nice to have. Energy transfer is bread and butter I guess.

Hehe your right, but if you strike from hidden with Energy Transfer you don't take any self damage from the attack, just nice for tat being pursued and just hidden moment, and it still whacks one hell of a punch, and total focus only lands the same crit as the smashing part of your attack as energy. A bonus I think, as I see them.

Both of them are extreme damage attacks that have a high chance to disorient, which is even better than a crit in a lot of circumstances, as it means no incoming damage from the unfortunate boss your pummeling

I myself took barrage, as it fits in nicely as a filler in the attack chain, and seems to disorient more than it's fighures would suggest, plus gives me 5 attacks in my chain for scrapper moments.

Where are you all getting that Nin has no Res to DefDebuff? It says in the toggles descriptions it does. Unless there's some sort of error in the description?

No I'm sorry. Was my fault. Of course Nin has Def debuff resistance.

energy punch is best possible filler imo, it has one of the fastest activations i know (if not fastest) and does more damage than my hero builder says (at least for my blaster). You can squeeze it in many attack chains . Iirc it has about 1/3 chance of disorient in it.

But having Barrage, Energy Punch, Bone Smasher, Energy Transfer and Total Focus is my personal goal, works nicely on my brute, and after i've done the opening AS, gives me something to do without waiting for other powers to be come available to use, as the biggies even with hasten seem to have an unbearable recharge rate, or thats how it feels sometimes lol.

SR does provide Confuse resist, fear is its only mez weakness (well, of the main mez effects used).

Also, SR has Quickness, 20% recharge buff IIRC, thats got to be worth something for the recharge of ET and TF.

Practiced Brawler dosn't give confuse res so where is SR getting confuse res from ? Disorient,hold,immob,KB,Sleep no confuse

1. The last power does crit out of hide. 100% chance even.
2. The difference between those 2 is way more then you might think..the only same thing about them would be hide and 2 toggles. sr has def and does have kb res. One of the def toggles gives confuse res indeed. And they got quickness. Nin has def/aoe placate/fear res/no kb res&gt;.&gt/quick self heal/cone sleep-confuse/aoe placate/calltrops.
3. it does have def debuff res.

Anyway at the end I would pick nin in pve and sr in pvp. But there are already enough em/sr's runnin around. Already considered regen?. With a regen you can jump into 2 scrappers and laugh at them cause even when they hit it heals back. Considering ET from EM doesn't rely on hide but a bit of health regen would even fit better for it. EA is also a very good choice and you won't be dissapointed by that one either.
