Spines/WP PvP

Hello, I currently play a brute and although I do okay in pvp I feel like I would have a lot more fun with a strong stalker. I decided that spines/wp will be fun and I think that it will be a strong build for killin. The only issue is that I have been playing brutes so much I don't really know how to create a stalker. I don't know what powers I need and how it should be slotted. I do know that I want Super Jump and I want Phase Shift but I don't have a clue on even were to start. I got like 2.5-3.5 billion, to invest into this char. If anyone could give me some advice or throw a mid's build together for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Kunu

Try this: note this build does not have Stamina, which isn't a big deal - many PvP Stalker builds don't use the Fitness pool, because the standard procedure for a Stalker is to hit once or twice and then get back into Hide if possible, not to try and scrap it out with their target (this works in PvE, not so much in PvP). Solo you won't be terribly effective, though you will get better once you learn to AS moving targets (as opposed to spamming Impale and Dark Blast at range). Your best role in post-I13 PvP is to get on a team and AS mezzed or KB'd targets.

That build looks really strong. Thanks! I had a question though. Why do u prefer to have stealth toggled rather than invis.?

Can't attack with Invis up, Invis uses more endurance, and Stealth + Hide + Stealth IO gets you to the stealth cap anyways.

Do you think I will have an issues with the resistance?

Here is the build I am working on for pvp. It is a bit different from most you will see. I wanted around 600% regen(I know DR kills it but still works good for zones). No stamina but no need for it. I hate playing without hurdle for some reason so fitness still gets picked and Health gets me to the regen rate I wanted.

The build is very expensive for some but I have been playing forever and infamy is no issue. I'm sure you could tweak this build to adjust for your play style.

I also build with lvl 33 io's for Sirens cause when RV isn't doing good you can usually find people there.
