Well,personally id have to ask,what do you want out of the performace of your Stalker?

More importantly,which one can you see your self enjoying more?Thats the more important question.

ELM has better AoE for PvE and crazy Thunderstrike damage for PvP.

Go with that.

For secondaries, I recommend WP, Regen, Nin. Each one has it's unique traits and weaknesses. WP is generally cheaper to build to decent usage. Regen and Nin cost a bit more, but can be quite effective once you get them there.


"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

I was going to roll up a Em/regen after much debate for Siren's Call. I have a spines/regen thats in the 20's, but would love something that hit a bit harder for those tougher targets (regen scrappers, tanks). But i'm seeing more and more people saying to go with ELM. Is it because TS hits hard and has a chance to crit? Are any of the ELM's attacks hard hitting? Does ELM really hit harder then ole EM?

Sorry for all the questions, but was just going to roll up another stalker tonight, and I guess I'm holding off to choose between those two. Thanks!

Both EM and ELM hit pretty dang hard, but Total Focus only gets a 30% crit bonus while TS has a 50% chance for 100% bonus crit damage. A good jousting TS can ruin someone's day. Not that EM is bad at all. I still use it for my stalkers, but that TS crit is VERY nice to pull off.
