You can put off stamina on a stalker, even a dark armor stalker. I'm currently growing a praetorian Kin/DA stalker and at 14 he's got both shields and shows no sign of slowing down. I'd probably switch Parry with Health, for starters. Then I'd take Obsidian Shield at 16, Super Jump at 20 and Stamina at 28.
You could swap out Disembowel and Dark Regen to get DR after stamina, but with the theft of essence proc you might not care so much about that.

Thanks for the advice. I might still try to take Stamina a little earlier, but maybe not right at level 20. I do like to be able to Scrap a bit, and do worry about endurance in those instances. If I can get the Theft of Essence proc for cheap, I'll probably try to get Dark Regen earlier, and push Stamina back a bit.
Thanks for the help!

Hey all,
I've been wanting to create this guy for a while, but finally got around to making a build for him. I wanted to run it by the Stalker pros though, to see if you could improve upon it. It will mostly be a solo build, with some teaming. The Melee and S/L Defenses aren't bad, and with Parry and the -ToHit from Cloak of Fear, I should be functionally at the soft cap for Melee at least.
Still, I feel like I'm taking some key powers pretty late in the build, and do worry about that. Especially if I take him through Praetoria instead of the Rogue Islands.
