You'd be better of checking out the coh wiki for refreshers on terminology etc. It's all there.
In general you're going to want to do two things as a /Nin stalker, close your KB hole (get at least one -KB IO), and max your positional defenses (range, melee, AOE).
You can't really "farm" as a DB Stalker. You can do high end content, sure, but "farming" is generally a function of AOE, and all Stalkers are pretty terrible at AOE,with the exceptions of Elec and maybe Spines.

DB is fine as an AOE set, which is why I am looking forward to One Thousand Cuts out of hide. |

1K Cuts is halfway decent AOE, but that is only one power, and it's 180 degree not a 360. DB isn't even remotely comparable to something like Electric in terms of AOE. And it's lethal damage, which is heavily resisted.

I'm also wondering what a good build for farming would be, or if it's even possible on my stalker. If not i'm looking for an extreme damage build. If someone could post a build and/or give me a little refresher on the enhancements I should be aiming for, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks   |
While DB has decent cone aoe (good for most situations), if your goal is to "farm", then you definitely want to go with Spines. Electricity may work too, just depends how tight the group is. I would even try Claw as Shockwave is decent.
What's left is to normalize all Assassin Strikes and improve Stalker's old sets (Claw, MA and EM)! You don't need to bring back the missing PbAoE attack. You just need to make the existing ones better! For example, make Slice a WIDER and LONGER cone.
