Thanks, Sayia.

Its a defence based armour so I think its less popular for brutes, and more fashionable for stalkers. Here is a build I slapped together, I usually try to fit hasten in at lv 6 but I got sloppy and left it till after u get overload. Ive got a defence based stalker at lv 30 but I dont know how good defence based tier 9 shields are. I dont know want 95% defence would give u or what the defence cap is. However here is a sample build. You may get more milage from slipping in tough.

Travel power is a matter of choice, and I leave it till lv24 so it can be used in bloody bay when exemplared; and never miss it with the abundance of temp travel powers in lower lvls.

With the first build u get 10% smash/leathal resist and the 2nd 26%. Energy cloak gives the same values of defence, for significantly lower endurance costs and has a bonus stealth attribute compared to "weave" from the "fighting pool". Ofcourse Id like energy cloak earlier than lv 35, but what would u swap it with? Build up? Aid self? End drain?

Didnt slot dampening field anymore because u get 9% smash/leathal resist with default slot and 11% with 3 slots, not a good trade imo.
