Uh... Stalker KM has no KB, just KD. No obnoxiousness required unless you're beating on blue-conning minions. And Concentrated Strike is also an extreme damage attack, although it won't crit from Hide.
So, overally, I'd say KM. It's a lot faster than EM, even if it doesn't look it, and like you mentioned, it has an AoE, a ranged attack, and -dmg in all its attacks, instead of a chance to run away.
Km >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> em.

I knew they both had extreme damage attacks; but the additional one in ET is the selling point for EM.
And I was considering an "AV Killer" type build, so the extra damage was attractive. (But so is AoE/range/Speed)
But it seems as though KM is getting all the votes...
Thanks for the replies; appreciated.
KM is loads faster. It may not feel faster, but it is. Just string attacks together and you'll see.

If you're going solely for AV-killing, then DM or MA would be better than either (MA has higher damage while ignoring resistances, DM has a heal in its attack chain while still doing comparable damage of a less-resisted type). DM also has a cone in Shadow Maul if you don't want an entirely single-target build like EM or MA would give you.|

KM does a touch less single-target damage than EM, but generally has faster animations, can stack a little -dam to help your secondary with mitigation, and Burst at least provides some AoE for the rest of the fights you'll run into in PvE - and while it's still "bugged" with a 100% critical rate from hide, it's a nice way to thin out a herd. It's a better all-around set with a similar damage split, and EM's only strength is of mild use at best on an AT where every primary already gets high single-target burst.

I'll also add KM's PBAE, when slotted, used from hide, and with build up, can drop most even con minions( with an extra red or so for higher con minions), makes those instances where you have to defeat all, much less of a pain.
I am about to start a new stalker and wanted to get some opinions from people who may have played both, first.

I am torn between KM's range and AoE; and EM's extra extreme damage attack, stuns, and lack of obnoxious KB.
Any help is appreciated.
