I've dusted mine off too, currently at level 33.
To be honest, the only one who knows what you should pick is you. Your playing style will dictate things like what travel power you want, and that can have implications for your other picks.
I'm finding it useful to slot Siphon Life with four Crushing Impact and two Acc/Healing from the Theft of Essence and Touch of the Nictus sets: this gives good damage, end reduction, accuracy, healing and recharge. It's almost like slotting 9 SOs in the power.
I'm skipping Shadow Punch and Touch of Fear, and picked up Air Superiority (which is greater for knocking down runners and flyers) and Fly. I find Shadow Maul very useful with large mobs: when they converge on me it's usually possible to jink to one side and catch 3-4 of them in the cone. If you don't like Shadow Maul (many don't because of the long animation) you may want to go with Shadow Punch instead.
I also like Smoke Flash for getting out of a jam. It works pretty well with just one acc IO so far, and am planning on adding recharge later.
I also picked up Kuji In Sha. Having two healing powers is very useful. It will be another 15 levels before I can significantly increase defense with IO set bonuses, and until then I need a lot of healing.
Finally, don't forget to use inspirations often. Keep a lot of purples in your tray and convert other ones to purples as needed.

Build for HP, damage, and lots of ranged defense (squeeze some melee in as well to help with the downie regins and tanks). Should be able to cap your HP between accos and IOs.

If the OP is smart he can turn that 50 mill into half a billion by the end of the week, making money in this game is pretty easy and no farming required.

@Intro lolPvP
yeah yeah, i missed a zero. 500 mill is what i currently have. anyway, thanks for the ideas all.
Is 'trops still worthwhile or does movement supresion negate the need?

Super speed negates it, not travel suppression. And everybody has super speed. The only thing it's good for is disrupting AS, but since you're a stalker yourself, that's not an issue....at least for now.
Apparently I had decided to delete him at one point, for he was enhancement-less and full of random power picks. I must have respecc'd him to get the goodies out.
It' s been so long since I played him though, I'm kind of lost as to what to take nowdays. Any help would be a good start! though a build would be great too! I have about 50 mil i can dump on him
