Dark Melee is arguably the best PvE DPS Stalker primary afaik.
Ninjitsu is pretty much THE Stalker secondary, at least for PvE.
DM Stalkers should even surpass Brutes in optimal conditions.
Stalkers are more than capable in terms of scrapping now. 31% crit rate in a full team? Hell yes.
My vote's on the Stalker. And this is coming from a die-hard Brute fan.
I got 2 builds, i wonder if the stalker will run low on end without the end recovery from dm:
Any ideas which one would perform better ?

DM is great for a Brute as the attacks (Shadow maul excepted) are fast and you can get a full attack chain very early with Air Sup and has the advantage of a lowish self heal as well. it also goes well with SR as the dark attacks do -acc/-tohit which will help your Defence based secondary.

Many and varied!
@Miss Chief
Pl help me decide i am torn between rolling a :
DM/SR Brute
DM/NINJ Stalker
I need input which performs better in teams and solo and if the stalker buff would bring the dm/ninj on par with the brute.
And if a stalker is able to scrap now or is it still hit and hide ?
Thx a lot
