Need stalker advice...

Hello all,

Trying to make a stalker and actually level them up this time around... :P

I am looking for a 'toon that can solo well and that will eventually be fairly solid in PvP.

Due to thematic reasons(LOLRP!), I am trying to decide between two basic concepts/builds and need some input on which would be better...

1) Dark Melee/Regen? Wp? Nin?

2) Spines/Regen? Wp? Nin?

Which would be the best set up? Thanks for the input

I've not dabbled with Dark (that's not to say it won't work well,
I just don't know that personally).

Any of the builds you listed in point #2 can be quite effective in
my own experience.

As for the best setup, that depends somewhat on your playstyle.

You might want to look at some of the guides for build ideas that
suit the way you want to play.

Between those choices, I'd go Spines/WP.


"the reason there are so many sarcastic pvpers is we already had a better version of pvp taken away from us to appease bad players. Back then we chuckled at how bad players came here and whined. If we knew that was the actual voice devs would listen to instead of informed, educated players we probably would have been bigger dicks back then." -ConFlict

This works. Regen as well, Spines is extremely effective for PvP, not super great for PvE but on teams itll shine with its AoEs.

DM is more solid for PvE, and at level 50 PvP your primary doesnt matter as much as your Patron (Trow Sharks) so you can prolly get away with whatever you want.

Any stalker is 'Fairly Solid' in PvP if you build it correctly and learn how to play it well. Most people still cant figure out how to counter us well, so you just take those opportunities to killem.

dm/nin or spines/wp out of the set combos you mentioned. both are strong in their own ways, but both also have their own weaknesses.

i'd say expand a concept you really like and then choose your sets so that functionality meets imagination.

OK, messed around with concepts more and came up with a DM/SR idea.

Edit: Posted the build below now that someone explained to me how :P

He means that when you export the build from Mid's, you should check the "Export Data Chunk as well as Data Link" box and select "phpBB / Zetaboards" option under Formatting code type.

The reason for the first thing is that it lets you put you build from the forums into Mid's, which makes looking at the build much easier. The second thing makes the build in the forum post not look like this:

[color:#4FA7FF]Level 38:[/color] [color:#B3CAF7]Stealth[/color]

And intead more like this:

Level 38:
Stealth

Which is a lot easier on the eyes. ;·)

Please feel fre to critique the build and give suggestions, advice, etc... I have no experience building a stalker and I am afraid I built this one in a more brute/scrapper fashion.
