Thinking of making a Stalker for GR and tinkering a bit with a soft-capped build without sacrificing too much. Any thoughts?

At a quick glance, trade the miracles in Kuji In Sha for 5 doctored wounds to maximize Sha's recharge and get a global 5% rech bonus since your global is low, you already have too much AoE def (50% without hide - remember that Hide adds 2.15% even suppressed the way you slotted it, so you can go for 44% to each position and be at 46.15% because of Hide).

I don't understand the Stealth IO, it's useless in PvE and in PvP everybody with a half decent build (meaning perception) will see you anyway if you don't have the Stealth pool power. And Spirit Shark is the worst patron blast, lethal damage and 3 seconds to cast, again only good for pvp, where you'd better take your godmode and make it recharge as fast as you can, not worry about softcapping, having a LOT of KB protection (1 -KB IO is fine for PvE, for PvP you'd need like 7-9 plus acrobatics).

Oh and speaking of that, you don't have any Kb protection, which is essential even in PvE for ninjitsu.

I'd try to max recharge on L. Rod too, you only have 26%, I'd go for 85-99%. Put obliterations there, you can keep 43% AoE because with hide you'll be softcapped. In your current build you'll have 52.6% AoE def with hide suppressed.

Good catch there on the KB...I completely forgot about Ninj's lack of protection there. I knew I was over the cap on def but I was worried a bit about debuffs, if they got through. Thanks for the input.

No prob, I agree about debuffing worries (although I never had a hard time with them on my Em/Nin even on ITFs, she's like 45-46% m/r and aoe is lame because I don't care), I just think you're putting too much emphasis on AoE def while losing important things like recharge on your heal and L. Rod (and both sets I'd use in these, Doct. Wounds and Obliteration, also give 5% global rech).

Oh and in case you don't know... Should you want to make a tough-less build and go with maneuvers like I prefer (or even get better defenses earlier while leveling and then moving it to tough later), Kuji In Sha takes the Steadfast unique

I have only recently rolled an elec/nin stalker. I do remember one of my best friends on CoV played an elec/nin stalker named Thunderside and he was able to tank tv farms with a decent healer in tow. My ss/shield brute with 3 bill into sets couldn't even touch his awesomeness.

That was some time ago (before architect) so not sure how much has changed from then.

I recently rolled my elec/nin stalker and got him to level 25 so far. I must say, the /nin set is quite impressive. Really fits my playstyle. It took a while, but even with SOs I rarely take much damage. Electric primary I really like as well. It was fun enough to level that I am actually thinking about re-rolling him because I don't like the name I chose (Captain GigaVolt) and leveling him back up to 25 isn't that much of a chore really. Probubly going to delete my 50 nb/sr stalker (Captain Ambush), my first character on CoV, and replace it with an elec/nin stalker.

I honestly can't say I have any gripes with either electricity nor ninjitsu at this point. However, I am in no position to give it my 'stamp of approval' as I have only played it to 25. Seeing the build in action through my friend, however, really makes me biased on the potential of the combo. It owns.
