I saw mentioned somewhere in a Stalker thread mention of Phase Shift. I have never used this power before and can see it's uses but if I was to take it I would have to lose the Fitness set. I have survived to lvl 44 without Stamina but was wondering if it is worth ditching the whole fitness set to go for Phase Shift instead??
Any thoughts would be welcomed

For PvP?
Dropping fitness = less unsupressed movement (essential), less Regen (on a stalker, bloomin helpful), less recovery (on any toon, essential).
It's your call, but what's the other pool that isn't travel, that's so essential that FITNESS was the one you opted for dropping?
Soloing w/o stamina (if you're WP or Regen, okay, it takes the edge of somewhat) =/= PvP stalking
Not so much for PvP but maybe a little - Powers i have are Nin/Nin and only pool powers i have are Fitness (3 pwrs), Leaping (3pwrs) and Recall Friend (cos it is handy! Thx

Then taking Phase shift instead of stamina will make you cry, somewhere down the line

I agree, phaseshift basically just is the "OMG RUNNNNN!!!" power in pvp, in PvE its uses are a bit limited i find
"god, how many devs did hami have to sleep with to get ED?"

OK, as losing Stamina would be too detrimental I have had a rethink. After looking through my powers and a couple of threads on the US forums about stalkers, I could drop any two from Recall Friend, Acrobatics or Flashing Steel, this would then free up the 3 power slots i need to get Phase Shift for when I do PvP... Does ths sound better?

Ill be honest mate, I wouldn't bother trying to PvP too seriouisly on a ninja blade stalker. Basically it just dont do enough damage, and what is done is all lethal which is very highly resisted.
I don't aggree. You shouldn't discourage him. A lethal set takes more time and practice, but it can perform it's role just fine in a pvp zone. Not everybody should be pushed into the same set, as ninja blade is fast and hits quite hard these days.

Fair enough, but from experiance on my ninja blade stalker its an exercise in frustration. The only time the damage was enough to kill anyone was, when someone else had already put them down to half health.
Has there been a damage buff to ninja blade?
There has been alot of buffs to stalkers in general, and ninja blade got it's animation times fixed. check the patchnotes from a while back.
Animation times were never the problem, the lack of damage and the fact it is all lethal damage is though.
Ill give my lil a stalker another run in a pvp zone but unless it now does more damage from powers other than AS, I'll reside back to shelf.
I does more damage now yes, like every other stalker primary. We got a higher damage scale and crits based on how many teammembers are near. And those are just a few of the changes. My claw stalker went from [censored] to decent.
I am currently looking at enhancing Harlequins way into PvP. Sadly I didnt find out NB was among the worst powersets for PvP ntil I was mid 30's and I really couldnt face starting from scratch again! So far I have Makos Bite in AS which gave a nice health 700+ dmg against a Toxic Tarantula in GV so I was quite happy
