Request: Claw/SR build

The Claw/Super Reflexes type of Stalker seems to be not a popular one, or one that is keeping quiet (darn Stalkers). Any suggestions on a all purpose build for a Claw/SR?

I vaguely remember reading DPS for a claws stalker is horrible due to the lack of Follow Up. SR is pretty solid IMO but with Ninjitsu being able to easily reach softcap def, a self-heal and other tricks, several stalkers go that option instead.

I do not know if you have limitations for the build such as cost, power picks etc but here's my recommendation. It has softcap def, cap hit points (until i22), a heal and good recharge for whatever attack chain you come up with. Ninja Run as a travel power, toggle Combat Jump on before engaging in a fight. Decent endurance with AM and PJ accolades. T4 Musculature Radial Alpha would work well. If you get Rebirth, drop the Medicine PP/Mu Mastery PPP for Recall Friend/Blaze Mastery.

Costs about 1.5 billion influence but significantly cheaper if you can get the LotG 7.5s, Numina/Miracle procs with astral/reward/alignment merits. Around 600 million if that is the case. Also there are around 25+ different recipes this build has that you can attain with Bronze rolls using AE tickets. If you go both those routes, this build will cost around 300 million.

Well, I think Claw will be a lot better once the new Stalker change makes it live. The reason I say that is that Claw lacks ST damage and the new Assassin Strike should really help ST damage. In fact, with the new change, I almost want the dev to change Eviscerate back to cone attack.

I enjoy Claw but it's not everyone's cup of tea. I enjoy opening the battle with BU + Shockwave.

I probably won't pick /SR because Stalker has low base HP and there's just not enough room for scaling resistance to kick in. If you want a defensive set with +recharge, try Energy Aura.


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.
