Energy Melee and PvP
1) Yes, it is still decent, though Elec is considered a better one.
2) I'd recommand /WP or /Regen. Or maybe even /DA, if you don't want to get /Nin.
3) Well, that depends on the size of your budget.
4) It still is a great one, though it isn't considered the best anymore.
5) Anything Spines/ or FM/ and /FA Scrappers, Elec/ EM/ Spines/ Stalkers paired with /WP, /DA, Ice/Cold Corruptors(well.. I really don't think this works all that well like how it was before), Mind/ or Illusion/ Controllers paired with either /Rad, /SS, Mind/Psi Dominators, Psi/EM Blasters, FA/SS Tankers(and SS/FA Brutes).
Yeah, there are many of my personal favorites. =P
I would not recomend DA as a PvP stalker.

1. EM is still retarded powerful in siren's. I was two shotting squishies with a bad build on my em/sr a few days back.

2. not /da. /nin is better than /da in zone.
3. build for recovery + dmg + a bit of hp on a /regen so you don't have to run fitness. build for the same on a /wp so you can run leadership.
4. EM, Spines, Elec. They all shine in different situations. I love my spines/regen though.
5. mine? besides the spines/regen...
a) well, my fire/cold corruptor is still a sick zone toon. yeah, i can't slow melee to a crawl anymore, but the huge -def, -res, -regen and -recharge are pretty damn good. it can also shut down a fire blaster and destroy it in most cases, which is fun (there's still a lot of fire being thrown around the zone).
b) fire/elec dom. i've said enough about this thing already. 1530 hp and a 45% bonus dmg build is pretty unfair to a lot of squishies.
c) rad/storm corr. horrible for dueling, but a lot of fun in zones, especially if you have a few good stormies to play with.
I have been wanting to make a PvP toon for a while now and i have been trying many AT's but i have to the conclusion that i like Stalkers the best. So i tried most of the Primary Stalker powers and i like Energy Melee the most for the single target damage but, i dont know what secondary to choose. I've heard that Ninjitsu is really good for PvP but, i like the Regeneration secondary because it doesnt have so many toggles and less toggles=less endurance drain but i dont know how it stands up in PvP.
So i have some questions...
1) Is Energy Melee a good PvP primary?
2) What secondary should i choose?
3) What Set IO's should i buy and put in my powers
4) If Energy Melee isn't a good PvP primary...what is?
5) What are some of your favorite builds for PvP...(any AT hero or vill side)
