Most appropriate travel power for a Stalker?

Is there any travel power that works particular well with the Stalker or is it just 'go with what you like'?

I can see particular applications with Superspeed but then i'm a big fan of Super Leap.

If one offers particular benefits, how big are they?

Thanks

Depends on your playstyle really.

+ Teleport is pretty much unbeatable for escaping.
+ Leaping is probably the best for following another toon around the zones.
+ Fly is useful to be able to avoid caltrops and assassin strike other fliers.
+ Super Speed is a good "autofollow" tool

For Sirens Call, Heroside tends to have more -jump/-fly powers so if you only have SJ or Fly you're likely going to have the pleasure of being webnaded + caltropped into submission by the occasional /dev blaster.

I found I got by reasonably well with only SuperJump and the temp power flight packs though.

So there is no 'obvious' winner for Stalkers then?

Okay, thanks for your reply.

there isn't an obvious winner to say, but i find Super Speed and unsuprressed jumping to be very nice for my stalker who has no ranged attacks.

the movement speeds you cna get and zipping in to mobs to hit the target quick and fast then getting out i find great, coupled with the hasten it's a nice one.

That being said as mentioned above they all have there bonuses & drawbacks. From SS the obvious lack of verticle means fliers and SJ'ers can be tough to catch if they stay to roof tops or stay very high flying..

I have a -fly attack for the fliers and tend to hit quick and fast so no need to worry about the jumpers but there are times that it's tough with no vertical jump

Its kinda funny how everyone always assumes the topic is PVP when stalkers are involved, even though tis not mentioned anywhere..

Because the Archetype of "t3h stalk0rxz" is what most people make to annoy other people on pvp zones

i find that SJ is the most fun and it's faster than flying too

Fly gets my vote for PvE, specially now that /nin can have mez protection IO's

My PvE Stalker has Sprint as her travel power. Saves a couple of power picks for extra attacks/shields.

Ok, I might not be the quickest to get to a mission. But you do get to find out how to get everywhere, where all the short cuts/lifts are.

Superspeed. Simply because in a mission you can kill off one guy, zip away from his buddies and then run THROUGH the next few groups of enemy's and onto a safe spot.
