Was wondering what you guys think of of a eletric melee/Nin ? I really want to get back into PVP and I want a kick butt stalker! ( In PVP) you think it will work, if not what should I go for?

i find that shadow meld works best with nin or sr...so if I had a nin or sr I would take shadow meld...if I was anthing else such as regen or wp which is already super tuff I would take sharks since shadow meld doesn't have anythng to stack wIth...I find shadow meld works best when it stacks on top of defense that u already have

Shadow meld on a wp is extremely useful.


Duel me.
I will work on my sig pic more when I have time.

ehh....never tried it on a wp so I wouldn't know...on paper it seems it would work better with a defense secondary..

I respec out of spirit shark and picked up shadow meld on my regen and I love it. Helps out more than you would think for regen also.

if you don't have impale, not having sharks is stupid.

and if you're dying on a stalker, any stalker, because you dont have shadow meld, you're bad.

I think Sharks are an important compliment to a stalker build. I have an elec/nin and em/nin that both have sharks. I use sharks in 1 of 3 situations...1.) After I AS a target and they are close to death I'
ll Placate + Shark or flat out Shark if they are on the move. 2.) If Someone is out of AS range/ or I dont have time to wait for the AS activation/animation before they heal (or run to the base like many of these Freedom zoners do) and they have already recieved prior damage. 3.) If I cant get to the target to AS them at the same time is doing a damage spike.

People Talk about WP being better in terms of survivalbility, but I think that is false for the most part. I rarely ever die on any of my /Nin stalkers, and regardless of "loldefense" I actually avoid alot of attacks after a clean AS. And if I do get hit, I just heal it off and phase.
Retsu is good for /Nin Stalkers who dont have a somewhat decent defense build, or new players ( idont really use it). I also <3 Blinding Powder vs Storms (hurricane drops letting me get in for a undebuffed AS), Quicksand/Earthquake campers (lol), and other campable powers/Offensive toggles.

Alot of people think sharks are for noobs, but I think its more about how you use them. They are just as spammable as Flares, Psi Dart, and any other popular low recharge, high result power. The Noob part comes from the fact that there are so many BAD stalkers running around who think Shark + TS is epic win..No one tries to learn how to stalk/AS.

Just my 2cents.

Is there really a need to start 2 threads about the same exact thing?

Wp is good out of the box. You can easily cap HP without accolades, it has good resist's, moderate defense, repel protection and a self heal. Slotted with SO's and a stealth IO WP can perform quite well. With a good investment its pretty god like as far as stalkers go. Can't really say the same thing about nin. Nin needs a decent investment to make it any good.

Sharks aren't for noobs, its just that noobs love sharks.

I think it's just that WP is a solid set (it's not subject to luck nearly as much as Nin or SR might be), is cheaper to build than most secondaries, and doesn't need accolades to hit the HP cap, not that it's necessarily more survivable. Though I should note that unless I'm getting tagged by someone with a lot of tohit or many targets at once, I find using Shadow Meld on its own works wonders for getting back into hide (drops hit rolls from 80-95 to the 50s and 60s).

But any way as I said,

I see where you guys are going with this, But Nin is what I wanted to pick.

I'm not convinced I should change it... Only a stalker can have Nin.

So is my eletric/nin going to work, or should I switch to eletric/WP ?

((Planing to spend about 2 bill on build for eletric/nin, new to WP...))

elec nin is fine. Nin is actually easier to slot for +damage bonuses which is where its at for stalkers.

I'll just say..You cant go wrong either way. Both WP and Nin are good Sets. For me It came down to personal preference.

You wont be mad that you picked WP over Nin or Nin over WP for any other reason than personal taste imo.

why get shadow meld if u already have the sexy MoG? waste I think specc back to shraks NAO!!!!

Shadow meld has like 1/3 the recharge MoG does. It's available basically any time you need it, unlike MoG.

shadow meld needs that the blasters shooting at you need aim and bu to hit you.

mog does nothing against psi/ems.

MoG gives a better def bonus than Shadow meld does
MoG has a base 71.3 while shadow meld has a base of 20.3...the only downside i see with MoG is that it gives no psi def..but shouldnt be too hard to survive..u shuld have enuff time to jump into hiber or invis/phase away..

Good point BB. Considering every single blaster is psy now, that probably does make a big difference.
