Ninjitsu? Regen?
Ninjitsu is DEF based, which is good for a stalker, since if you don't get hit you'll re-hide easier.
I would prefer ninjitsu over regen, but regen goes good with energy melee if you prefer to stand and fight in the later levels. But ninjitsu also has a self heal and some nice gadgets, also it's lvl 38 power doesn't drain all your health like MoG does.
Neither does energy auras, which has no heal, but has 2 end powers in it, and quite nice def as well, and it's overload actually gives you more hp for 3 mins.
I think Regen is the best PvP stalker secondary, simply because I've seen people like Blindfaith outlast a dozen people.
I'm partial to /nin though, as it was my first CoV 50, and I absolutely loved it. I solo'd a lot of PvE and never got bored, and do very well in PvP too.
Only thing I'll say about Regen is you have to know what you're doing. Regen's only overpowered-ubermazing if you're not a [censored] player. I've seen some people use it so badly.
*blushes aww thanks
an aye regen is best for being able to scrap
I'm not so sure about what max said about 'Def based sets make it easier to re-hide' is really true in PVP or PVE as i don't see a situtation where this would be applicable.
For example if your PVPing your either A: scrapping or B: hit and running.
Now in scrapping you'd be using placate mostly or using some other DEF boosting power/insp to improve your defence as to not get hit as the standard DEF isn't good enough for PVP to scrap with.
Hit and Running on the other hand would mean you striking then leaving the area to rehide, some stalkers would use TP for example.
In PVE the same would apply.
You might AS a boss then scrap acouple minions or placate them .so i can't see anyone standing in a mob waiting for hide to re-apply except in the odd cases were a hold power is used in which case the DEF isn't really needed anyway.
So to sum up the only time DEF would be worth while is scrapping or getting close enough to AS avoiding AoE's etc and in todays PVP zones 40% DEF is no match for the high ACC most players slot for.
just my 2P worth.

Just to translate : is resilience worth it when everybody in PVP has damage which most of the time is energy or ice.
My Answer : Yes it is as with energy its not just energy damage alone its smash/energy same with 'most' other powers.
Couple Resilience with tough from the fighting pool and thats roughly 20% S/L resist which will go along way to improving your surviability.

Hello!
SO how are these two sets, never used Ninjitsu but have had a Regen Scrapper (pre I5, when IH, was godlike), but wondering which fits more nicely? Gonna choose Claws as a primary if that helps decide matters. I see QR has been replaced, which was oen of the three big ones from Regen, so deters me from it, and also a Stalker isn't really about taking the damage to regenrate it now is it? But as far as PvE and PvP goes, which woudl be the most versatile/fun?
TY!
