If you build for a lot of ranged defense, it can be decent. Ninjitsu's better as far as defense-based secondaries go, mostly because of the solid self-heal and its other tricks. The problem with defense-based sets in general is that they're very susceptible to luck - you might feel unkillable one time and the next time you'll die almost instantly.

It can be, all stalkers have the ability to do exceedingly well, if you don't play them like a scrapper or tank.

If you build a /nin, please, for the love of everything, don't "Conserve" your T9, use it all the time. Becuase of the squishi-ness of the set, you have 1-3 seconds before you are eating asphault.

Use Retsu. Alot.

Same goes for SR.

Yeah, just remember to be aware of your surroundings and pay attention to your buff bar so you're well clear of any enemies when your tier 9 drops. While I admit Stalkers falling out of the sky in front of me with no endurance, making an easy kill, is funny, it's pretty embarrassing if it happens to you.

I play SR in PvP all the time, and I'm telling you you are wrong. SR does not suck in PvP because people have lots of Accuracy, it sucks in PvP because people have lots of ToHit.

Stalkers are the best-case scenario for SR in PvP. Stalkers fair better with it than Brutes or Scrappers do. That's not to say it's really any good, though, just that Stalkers get a bit more out of it in PvP than those others do.

Ninjitsu, despite what some will have you believe, really isn't any good in PvP either. You've got a heal and...not much else of worth in PvP (except a bit of Psi Resist, for all the good that'll do you vs. Psi Blasters).

You want the "optimal" PvP experience on a Stalker? Regen and Willpower are the go-to secondaries. Meanwhile, I'll be playing SR because I'm just that nuts. And hey, I've killed Willpower Tanks on my Claws/SR so I'm not that bad.
