Could anybody please give me an opinion on this? Everyone looks but no one answers.
Roll a Domi for PvP. :P
/ you asked for an opinion, mine just isn't that useful.

Maybe because most people hate stalkers? 
K well EM is a very powerfull primary, if you like to run around and mostly 2/3 hit things then run away and find the next victim choose EM.
But if you want a cool guy which is a little harder to play and to not 2/3 hit things but to 4/5/6 hit things, choose DM.
DM has some good powers with Siphone Life and Touch Of Fear!! You could still do great damage with DM if you slot your AE with 2acc 3dam 1 rchrg and then if you get hasten you could AE your victim then Touch of Fear and wait for your AE to come back placate then AE. I done have any experiance with DM for a stalker but im sure this tactic may prove to work. As long as there isnt any other bugger hitting on you.
I have a lvl 29 EM / Regen stalker and EM owns its damage is unmatched and the Disorient is really handy!
Hope this helpes a bit.......
Oh and the only people that hate stalkers are the victims....
Thanks.
lol any help to you?
Ok i played a DM/reg stalker to 34 before deleting her TOF is loads of fun in PVP and the -acc from DM attacks adds to your survivability but theres a reason you see loads of EM Stalkers running round the zones and thats because of its truly sick burst damage ! As an added bonus the Stunns are equally sick and nice for de-toggling (fear although irritating won't drop toggles) DM is playable but much harder to get kills.

Nrg/Sr has the most powerful attacks, DM is bit more difficult to play due to the fact that cant 2 shot Scrappers etc without using placate. ToF is ace power which let you to feel a bit of controller-Stalker. Both have have smash/* Negative/Energy damage, which imo, makes them the 2 best primaries for stalkers.
EM requires next to no skill to use, as you can two-shot most Archetype, while DM has ToF which has awesome -acc.
The advice I got from when I was building my stalker, SR is a really good defensive set with one of the best mez resists in game, only gripe is that for the powerset to be truly effective you need to take ALL the powers making the already tight stalker builds tighter.

Not at stalkers, most people dont take Evasion,Dodge,Agile when they make an /SR stalk.
I did, well not evasion, but dodge and agile. If you dont want to take the passives just go nin

Why make SR then when you can make ninjitsu... The only advantage SR has over nin is the slightly better defense when they take ALL the SR powers. Nin and SR toggles offer same defense.. (well tbh SR also got KB prot)
/Nin has a heal, but no knockback protection, but it does have fear resistance.
/SR has knockback protection, but no heal, and confuse resistance.
All depends on your preferance.
SR got quickness too, i love this power. And i thought Nin has confuse res too?

Thats right, and to top it off it also has 20%+ res to psi damage.. Nin heal is awesome. Eventually something like halfbar every 20 seconds.
Only thing nin lacks is the knockback protection, which I agree is kinda major, but you can get acro or fly like my stalker.

Depends on the situations really. My nin stalker is doing ok most of the times without Acro. Sometimes though, its a pain. Fear res/Psi Res awesome. And i'd guess IOs could take away the KB problem. Nin = SR at defense toggles. same defense they offer. SR got the autos of course... which many dont take. and tbh i like Quickness+Hasten for elude. So both sides got advantages and disadvantages... Your choice.
Moot point now he's gone but always good to hear the SR vs Nin debate
Sr ftw

EA only have 3% more defense than SR according to my builder. And better tier9.
What rubbish.
Kent i would go EM/SR = winning combo
with IOs ita alot less end intensive than it used to be plus you get the best defence with the best burst damage.
Currently thanks to set bonuses and quickness I have +45% Passive recharge and +115% recharge when hasten is up at warburg lvl. This means elude is only down for 160 seconds for me and up 180 seconds
I know people have even improved on that so things can only get better
Ok. I currently have a lvl 30 nrg/nin stalker and a lvl 31 Ice/rad Corr. I have a habit of starting over around lvl 30 and want to make another stalker. My current stalker is pretty badass but I would like to get SR for the elude ability as it would allow me to stick around when somebody's buddy is trying to take me out while I'm trying to kill him. I have always wanted to make a character w/ dark/ but Nrg has such a great dmg. This build is pvp focused. So what would you guys recommend. Is DM that bad?, i know it can own in pve but pvp?, which would you think is better. Dont tell me to play the one I want to play either. Im looking for honest opinions. Thanks in advance.
