Intrested in starting a new stalker...

Hey there guys. Once again I am back here looking for a new AT to start. The only stalker I currently have is hiding behind a dustbin at level 18, a MA/Regen.

As for a primary, I was intrested in Dual Blades. I had never really started Dual Blades, so I checked up ParagonWiki to see the words and numbers.

As far as I can seem it's pretty much Moderate DMG until the last two, SS and OTC. That basically means attack chains, right? Now I thought all the Moderate DMG powers to make a big healthy damage combo. Power Slice+Alb Strike+Typhoon's Edge+Blinding Feint+Vengeful Slice. This would be a bread and butter damage combination, IMHO. So basically DB is not exactly all big DMG but about the attack chains and thats why theres COMBOS. Almost forgot about that. So basically, the combos really are important, comparing the overall damage of the set.

Next comes the secondary. Now I would be adventurous and choose WP, but it's just too soft with DB, IMHO. After looking at them all I came up with Electric Armor. Because with the attack chains of DB comes Endurance, and EA has it's fair share of Endurance recoverers and reduce and end costers, obviously combined with Stamina. EA also provides lots and lots of mez protection, which you don't want during an attack chain, espicially with a combo coming up. EA doesn't have the damage resistance of the others but it's a risk I'm willing to take.

So I'm thinking DB/EA - does anyone else have a suggestion to a better secondary with DB/ or a better primary with /EA?

Ty.

Sorry. I meant Energy Aura in my previous post.

PvE.

And I just created a new DB/EA. Even though it's only lvl 2 it's just soooo fun to play for some reason! Loving it for the first 2 lvls

What about /SR? a friend of mine plays a db/sr stalker.
Good damage and sick defenses. the powers you really _need_ from sr are : hide, fighting, brawler, senses, dodge, evasion, elude and quickness. this frees both slots and powers for fitness and leadership (yes, i said leadership!)assault, tactics and maneuvers are all nice to have, even on a stalkie.

OK Cx I'm going to try that.

If it's more fun that DB/EA I'll stick with it.

How did it turn out, phantoms?

I have a db/regen stalker at 25 and i like it. If i would make another db stalker i would go nin for defences + heal and pbaoe placate. I went for sweep combo first(bu, as, ablating) then empower(bu, as, placate). I have a choice of picking up nimble slash at 26(power slice at 1, vengeful 18) for attack vitals(nimble, power, vengeful) or sweeping strike so i can get weaken at 32. It's tight.

Didn't like it after a while, deleted it. For now, I think I'm going to leave the Stalker AT in its place and play some of my other toons. Strange since I actually enjoyed it at first...just started to turn into "not really my playstyle". Thanks for the help anyway
