your a nin/regen then? if so thats not too bad, use the dual builds feature and just build however you want for pve, and then once you feel like trying pvp use the second build
as for power choices i would suggest doing a search for /regen stalker builds and then just adjusting the primary to what you have, just keep in mind that unlike CO powers act completely differently in pvp than they do in pve
go /willpower, /regen on a stalker is garbage.
yeah, if you are only lvl 13, start an elec/wp or spines/wp stalker and then use the search in this forum for some build advice, they have been posted multiple times.

lol this game used to be patch of the month type game till around i9, and its always been FotM PvP so ur out of luck there and im betting this game has a much higher learning curve and higher need for items compared to CO. I've seen some videos of CO pvp and its kinda like CoX but its more like our fight club where ranged toons hit and run. I didn't see alot of good use of surrounding landscapes. Animation times are a lot slower in CoX pvp and here that's what gets you killed unlike CO so watch out for blasters.
So as mentioned above reroll into a will power stalker, but regen is better at handling alot of DPS over time, but since our PvP (not fightclub pvp) has a lot to do with front loaded dmg in which WP handles slightly better most of the time, WP might be a better choice. Although WP heals less, it provides perception and some defense in one power, it has more resistance, and repel protection to help to get back into hide+stealth+stealthIO to escape. ElecMelee is ur best bet for melee though it might get nerfed in 5 issues, spines has decent ranged dps, and if you like to AS a lot use claws for more build ups. Also pick up the stealth pool with phase shift for PvP and the Mako "shark" pool at lvl 41 so hopefully u started as a loyalist. GLHF
I just got the City of Heroes: Going Rogue complete collection pack and am new to the game. Not new to the concepts cause I played CO for a bit but hated the imbalanced PVP in that game. It was always a flavor of the month kind of game or in that game's case, the flavor of the patch.
Anyways I was just wondering if any experienced stalker/melee players had any pointers for builds or tips for this character in PVP and or PVE. I am level 13 and have the basic two single blade attacks, assassins blade, flashing blade and active healing and reconstruction; also in my third powerset i have the first fitness passive.
I am just wondering if I should respec and go something else before I get myself into trouble or keep going the same route. Also I was not clear on when I could respec, which levels can I respec at?
Thanks to anyone who helps, hate being the noobie but we all were in a game at one time or another.
