If the 1vs1 you're referring to is fite klub style (stand in front of each other for 10 minutes and mash buttons) def go EM. Other than that elec is the your only other viable option with its broken thunderstrike crits.
I guess DM could probably work as well with the -tohit stacking with nin's def and a extra self heal.
Isn't defense kinda useless for PvP now though? This is what confuses me the most, honestly.

EM/WP or Spines/WP.
With your limitations...
EM or elec / WP or regen or Nin
WP is probably the best overall for secondary, but regen and nin can do well too.

For some reason I thought I read you settled on nin as your secondary. Defense can still be viable if you spend enough inf on your build. Nin being the best defense choice since it has a self heal. Regen is probably the best for fite klub style duels. WP is great for zone and team pvp but I doubt it would fair well in da fite klub.|

I've been told that em/regens are about the only ones who can 1v1. EM is the only primary to do enough damage out of hide, although i've seen some great ele stalkers do good damage as well. Regen is still awesome, even as a stalker. But i've looked at WP and would look at that as well.
The problem being a 1v1 stalker is, if you facing a scrapper with caltrops, or a tank with quicksand, you basically can't win. Assuming your opponent hasn't gone completely offensive, like a dm/sr that relies on elude.
Stalkers are best on a team, and can't usually take a non-squishy solo.
But final answer would be em/regen.

Even without caltrops or quicksand, if a tank or scrapper manages to get killed by a single stalker, there's something very wrong with that tank or scrapper.

Nah i've seen vince's stalker repeatly AS a tank to death. Massive recharge on AS and placate, while having procs in other attacks to steadly bring them down.|

But on something like a WP/shield/invul with a lot of health, where unresisted damage doesn't really matter, i can't imagine a stalker taking them down.
And a regen scrapper should never die from a stalker, should be able to take 2, up to 4 with caltrops.

Vince ASing bad tanks doesn't count. A solo Stalker will never kill a competent Tank in a 1v1 situation (not fiteklub, we're talking PvP here). Also, you want Elec, not EM.

I'm not saying EM is bad, I'm saying Elec is better given how Thunderstrike figures its crits.

Exactly. I didn't say it's impossible for a stalker to kill a tank. I said if it happens, that means there's something very wrong with the tank. And that seems to be the case here.

I've been trying to settle on Powersets for a Stalker, and I finally settled on that I'd /like/ to do some PvP, specifically 1v1 Arenas with some scattered zone PvP just for fun. I'm not sure about powersets though. I remember the days of Energy/Nin but I never rolled one or even PvPed back then. I'm open to any primary/secondary except Spines or Dark Armor (It just doesnt fit the character concept). I left the concept open to allow more room in the powerset department. Af anyone has any primary suggestions post them here.
