Build Request
Well, if you really prefer "set once and forget" toggles, go with /WP instead
of /Nin.
/Nin has lots of toys, and is fun to play, but it's a very active secondary.
Even your mez protection is a clicky.
/WP is also fun to play, but it's nearly all toggles. Turn 'em on when you
log in, and go to town... You won't touch them again unless you die.

I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is definitely better.
Light is faster than sound - that's why some people look smart until they speak.

I probably won't recommend MA. Yes, it has good ST damage but that is probably the most you can get out of that set. It has some nice stuns once you get Eagle Claw and a fun knockback kick in Crane. Sometimes it's annoying to chase though.
As for a secondary that you just click and forget, well, Ninjitsu is not that bad. Just set the mez shield on auto. Willpower has a good mix and Energy Aura is pretty much click and forget too. The only thing you need to click is the healing power.
Well, if you only prefer soloing, then I guess MA is good. It at least blooms quite early with 3 higher damage attacks.
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.
Well, then, Jibikao, what would you recommend as a primary? Is there anything like Willpower, as in toggle-heavy, that exists in a primary for stalkers? Or should I seek another archetype for that sort of thing?
/SR all Toggles except for 1 Clickie (the mez protection)
/NIN all Toggles except for 2 Clickie (the mez protection and self heal) the other abilities are really just more attacks, you could jsut skip them if you like. But Caltrops is like more AOE! I'm not including the tier 9 as I just tend to skip it.
/WP all Toggles except for 1 Clickie (the self heal). Also not including the tier 9, but I do use it, just not often once the IOs get put into place, but I'd never not take it, as it can save you in some spots.
If you really REALLY want an all toggle and go, never worry about a clickie power set, go Willpower Brute or Scrapper. I still wouldn't skip the tier 9, but it's not a clickie in the sense of click ALL THE TIME.
As for Primary...Electric Melee! Unless you set on this classic ninja/martial artist theme, then I'd suggest Ninja Blade or Dual Blades (for more AOE)

I know this is going to piss off some people since I'm being deliberately vague, and for that I apologize.
First, allow me to describe my style of play. This will be a bit long, so bear with me.
I primarily fight solo, and I sometimes go into AE situations and get some toggle buffs working. I am someone that can't keep track of temp powers, and I'd rather have a bunch of toggle powers I can use that I can set and forget. That's why I never take a healer role, and my most successful character is a level 39 Bots/FF Mastermind. I would go with a ninja MM, but I've heard that it takes a lot of micromanagement to get them to do what you want to, and I just can't handle that.
To sum it all up, I want to make a MA/Nin or Nin/Nin stalker with fairly decent survivability and good evasion (if that matters) and a fun character with little micromanagement for a good toe-to-toe solo PVE experience.
What would the geniuses of the CoX forums recommend?
