Some suggestions. I have a lvl 50 Kin/Dark Tier 3 Musculature
1. You really don't need Quick Strike. Smashing Blow is good enough because Focused Burst and Concentrated Strike have long activation time. I say put 4 Mako in Body Blow to get +3% damage. If you want extra +recharge, save two slots and put one each in both Defensive toggle and get two Luck of Gambler. You only need 4 villain merits and the +recharge is always on. (no need to rely on set bonuses)
2. I've yet to be convinced that Nerve is worth it. You'll need a very different build to take advantage of that massive +accuracy. The +defense is nice but Stalker needs more damage. I'll take any +damage I can get because every time you critical, it's 2x damage. You already took Tough and Weave for added survival. I am really not too sure if the +defense from Nerve is worth it. Musculature needs higher tier to see its true benefit. The first tier doesn't increase much.
And if you mostly do PvE, I think Kinetic is way more fun than Energy Melee. Kinetic at least has one high damage melee pbaoe that has 100% chance critical.
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.
Hey guys, i rerolled my Energy melee/nin into a kinetic melee/nin and i was wondering if this build would work out
