Give stalkers fire, cos fire is hot and it burns things, and therefore its cool, even though that is a total temperature antithesis when you say fire is cool.
But it sooo is :P

Every try to sneak up on someone with a torch in your hand?
On the topic of AS with a DoT component, Poison Melee seems to have been a fairly popular suggestion for a new Stalker Primary for a long time now... Different from Spines, of course.

Energy Armor for stalkers has an end drain, cant remember the name but i know there is one. 
[/ QUOTE ]
Yes it does. There isn't a problem with stalkers having end drain. The issue is, Energy Absorption isn't and end drain power, it's a +def power. end drain is the secondary effect. as such it drains much less end per mob than Power Sink (the one EA has) and has a significantly higher activation cost.
I really should do something about this signature.

But Stalkers arn't getting a new set. Power proliferation means getting a set ported from another AT.

Yeah, I know, I was just commenting on the other post about Stalkers with DoTs.
My vote's still on Ice.
he only wants an AS DoT so he can 1 shot people in PvP again...

If Stalkers do get Stone Armour then I suspect granite will be replaced with something, or maybe adjusted so it's a clicky, and the debuffs are gone.
I'm confident it will be either Invul or Ice, a tweaked Invul is more likely than anything here. Invincibility will be replaced with Hide, and everything else be kept the same - I really don't think the Devs care if it does'nt make sense concept wise. Either i12 will make Stalkers overpowered with Ice Armour, or it will introduce a fairly meh Invul set that nobody will use.
Fairly meh? Have you looked at the numbers? Invunerability would be worse than any current stalker secondary, and they are mostly pretty poor already!
And Ice Armour would be far from overpowered.

I want you to remember you said that.
Compare:
Psi Blaster with Hibernate
/Ice Stalker with Hibernate
Now tell me which is overpowered.

Ah yes but that's the thing, I didn't say Psi blasters weren't overpowered. They're both just as bad as each other though, Ice Stalkers have phase, hibernate and can't be seen.
If I understand how Hibernate works correctly, you won't be able to hide while hibernating.

I don't believe Hibernate affects Stealth powers.
Hibernate does more than phase shift, it is supposed to stop you using any powers. It used to detoggle all your shields. They changed this when they added the time limit, but you still can't turn them on if they are off. It would be a simple matter to have Hibernate turn off Hide if they where concerned it might be overpowered.
Addendum: It's worth mentioning that GA also detoggles most of your shields, and could be set to detoggle Hide, if they went with Stone.

I am aware of this, and I hope that a -stealth component is added.
All you have to do anyway is make a mental note of where they land in Hibernate, and wait next to it, provided you're not being ganked by anyone else, it would be no more efficient a heal than say Reconstruction.
Willpower would still be better I think.

Your first observation is true
Thank goodness for that!

Haha @ Grounded Stalkers.
100% critical LR ploz

"You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean."
On the more positive side, If the 30% chance of sleep on Havoc Punch sets up a chance of critical, Electrical Melee may be a bit of a win.
Of couse, a lot depends on which power gets ASed. I would like to think it would be something sucky like Jacobs Ladder or Chain Induction, but on current preformance it will probably be Thunder Strike or Lightning Rod.
