Powers Choices Help Needed!

Hey guys,


took a few days break from COH and im looking into maybe rolling a stalker, especially with the news that changes are going to be made to them.
i was wondering what powers would be nice to roll with, im not a fan of regen on a stalker, thematically to me it just doesnt make sense, i want my character to be a dark assassin type god, always in the shadows, i like energy melee because of its 2 extreme powers and the AS move.
dark armor sounds like a good choice too.
ill preferebly need advice ona primary and secondary.

also as a side, if anyone got some cool ideas for names for him aswell id be greatly appreciated but not important

thanks again guys.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

If your character's like a ninja then the best name is Passing Wind.

In other news, KM/Nin is quite good. I recommend looking into it.

The one stalker that i stuck with for a long time, and all the way to 50 was my KM/WP. He turned out to be a beast, was not hard to softcap his def, and even with a PVE build, he holds his own ok in PvP. Another option would be Ice Armor, depending if that fits thematically for you, super easy to softcap Def on that one, and seems like a fun set. I am currently working on a Elec/Ice Stalker, and should be quite fun. he is only lvl 12, thanks to my alt itis issues, but already i can tell he is gonna rock the house. One of the best combos i have seen in PVP and probably works ok in PVE, is Energy/Ninjitsu...you cant go wrong with anything /Nin.....its a nice set! Energy works nice since it disorients quite a bit, well, good luck!!

KM apparently comes with a nifty trick where its Tier 9 attack can not actually crit for actual damage but when it does crit recharges Build Up. As single target attacks from Hide automatically crit that means you can pop Build Up, hit your target with Concentrated Strike (which hits like a truck and doesn't need to crit to kill even cons even before Build Up) and instantly have Build Up recharged so that after you're current use of it runs out you can pop it again. Of course if you happen to kill the spawn you're dealing with before the current use of Build Up wears off (and Burst is bound to hurt a lot when used under Build Up) you're good to go right onto the next spawn because Build Up is available again.

FWIW, I recently started an Electric Melee/Ninjitsu stalker and am having great fun with him. I might have gone with KM but for having just made and played up a KM/Shield Scrapper.
