I was just wondering if there is any stalker build that has the ability to farm. Just a random idea and was curious. I would think elec/ could if built right.

No, but LR doesn't drop you out of hide. If everything gets knocked down your next attack will crit. If something remains standing they have the chance to attack you and drop you out of hide.

BU, LR and Thunderstike is a nice combo and a bunch of AOE damage. Thunderstirke is also the slowest animating attack in Elec,which means you have an extra second or two for the mob to land an attack and knock you out of hide before you land a crit. Whereas a fast animating attack like Chain Induction will Crit close to 100% of the time.

I have both Elec/nin (Mu) and a Spines/nin (soul) stalkers maxed out (Softcapped and permahasted).

And the spines blows through missions much faster than the elec does.

I run at no bosses +1 x8.

When something good happens to me, I can never enjoy it....
I am always too busy looking for the inevitable punchline...

BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE!

Spine Stalker can definitely farm well. I haven't farmed with my Electricity Melee because he is only 37 and he is stuck on Virtue server.

I actually farm a bit with Kinetic Melee.

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.
