Willpower or Ninjitsu in zones?

Which secondary takes the crown for zone pvp stalkers and why?

Ninjitsu I would say. Retsu, burnout, retsu, demonic ya theres like no getting hitting except bad luck but still that's what the heal and phase and/or hibernate are for plus it gets a few tricks. Even without burnout I still think nin is better then willpower.

Thanks for the response. I guess I'm going to make a elec/nin.

I like elec when I'm on teams for the AoEs. I realize AoE is not good for pvp but can elec still perform in zones or is there a primary that would be noticeably better?

Elec, Claws, and Street Justice are probably near the top of the list. Spines too I guess with the ATO giving you an auto crit after AS.

For secondaries, I'd probably say EA, then WP, then Nin. Overload > Retsu and EA comes with KB, Repel, and TP protection (though the latter may be broke)

Yeah I originally had EA as my primary for the reasons you listed. I was told though that EA is harder to IO than nin because nin deals with positional defense and EA is specific, so I switched over to nin. Still not really sure which works best.

You don't really have to build EA with defence bonuses from sets like you would a ninjitsu because Overload is so good. You can just slot all your defence powers like you would normally and any extra def bonuses you get are a plus but you certainly don't have to build for extra on an EA. Outside of Overload EA does suck though.

As for WP or ninj, I would go WP with the upcoming increased HP cap to stalkers. You can get the new capped HP on a WP stalker quite easily with accolades. A stalker with 2k+ Hp shouldn't die :P

Goodluck with whatever you chose anyway.

I put mine in AS and after every AS it puts you straight back into hide after striking a target so you can crit after an AS without having to placate. It's great on something with a fast follow up attack like Crushing Uppercut or Char ;D

Basically what Morti said, but to expand on that :

With the new ATO's you can easily get 100% proc rate by finding a power with a base recharge greater than or equal to 60 sec/ ATO proc rate (Be it 4, 5 or 6 times per minute)

Once you start slotting that power for recharge and factor in global recharge you can maintain your 100% proc rate and in some cases (Doms, Tanks, etc) Maintain 2-3 stacks of the ATO proc. For stalkers though, that really doesn't matter. Basically its all about the free crit after AS without having to animate placate. I think it drops you to a stealth radius of about 380, so far from actually being hidden from anyone.
