PvE Build Help

Decided to play one of every villain AT and I'm on Stalkers. Made a Spines/Ninja and currently at lv35. Usually play ranged toons but want to give this a run to lv50 with basic IOs cept for a cpl of sets to get soft capped on defenses. Let me know what I can do better and thanks in advance:

Another Stalker question...can you up your hide so as not to be seen by enemies with extra perception like Rikti Drones etc?

Rikti Drones do not have increased perception. Instead they are coded to ignore stealth completely. So there is nothing you can do about them. Same with Knives of Artemis.

Nemesis snipers however, you can sneak past with hide.

PvE for a stalker there is no advantage to more stealth.

Any build help?

Well, I'd have done things somewhat differently, but it's your build,
so have at it.

That said, I'd really change the slotting on your AS - There's lots of
ways to go, but a simple starting point would be to throw in 4
Crushing Impacts (A/D, D/E, and the two triples) plus a Touch of Death
A/D and the % chance for Neg energy damage proc.

That gives you these numbers (with L30 IOs in there):
Acc: 60.90% Dmg: 95.01 (with ED) End: 39.15% Rch: 34.80%
in additon, you also get these bonuses.
~5% Mez resist, 1.13% more HP, and 7% Acc across the board.

I'd also tweak your Sha Heal... I'd toss in Heal/Recharge and a Heal from
Harmonized Healing, and the same from Miracle, keep one Rech Reduction
and put that 6th slot somewhere more useful.
That will cost you 3s in cast recharge (which won't matter in practical use)
and it will gain you 4% End Recovery boost and a slot you can put elsewhere.

Those two powers, at least to me, stood out.

The accuracy on Lunge is a bit low for my tastes, but given the Acc bonuses
in Impale, Ripper, and AS (if you go that route), it'll probably be ok...


Happy Hunting,

Thanks for the help 4 and Ill take a look at your suggestions. 1st time posting in the Stalkers forum and noticing a lot of unanswered posts now so had given up. I was basically looking at slotting general IOs and waiting til lv50 to do sets, but I wanted to softcap defense now, hence the few sets I put in this build early on.

Thanks again man.
