db/ea looking for advice

Hey all,

I don't see much of anything regarding EA stalkers. I'm giving one a try and would like some insight from those of you who've done 'em. I have the ma booster pack so am going without travel power, I'll pick up flight packs and temp travel powers to get by where ninja run won't.

Here's the build so far for power picks and planned slot selection without I/Os in place, they'll come later as time goes on.... Anything glaring you can see?

I can't really comment on the DB side as my only DB character is a tanker and the stalker version is different. On the EA side here's what I see.

Energy Protection: While it's not going to hurt you any to slot this, I'd probably say it's low priority. The resists are nice but the powerset is primarily defensive.

Conserve Power: Not needed but I can see keeping this for emergencies (or crashes) but I'd probably drop it to the base slot. Energy drain is that good (once slotted.)

Overload: I'd probably leave this at 3 recharge and be done with it, it will cap all your defenses with plenty to spare if you keep your toggles up.

Hide, Kinetic Shield, Power Shield, Entropy Shield, and Energy Drain all look good.

As an aside, I wouldn't consider it a dealbreaker to not have but hasten combines really nice with energy drain.

Yeah, don't know where I'd fit hasten in, but it would really help with my build-up too. The attacks cycle nicely at lvl 17, but buildup is slow to recharge. Right now she kicks *** in a big way, surprising really but with buildup I can 1-shot a red con Lt on an AS. Followup sweep, and two weeny db attacks (power slice/nimble) allow me to pick off an orange con minion before it can stand back up. My only problem is the three orange con minions (especially COT ghosts) in a spawn.
