I'm curious with exactly what stalkers get. They have a normal buildup instead of Staff Mastery but AS builds a level of body so is it as good as the other versions?
(I don't go to Beta anymore I like to wait till stuff is released.)

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

They get Perfection of Body by default.

Stalkers: Staff doesn't really have very good ST dps for brutes/tanks/scrappers. Having AS/BU will really help make up for this weakness.
Tanks: They get higher -res and +res on EotS and SS respectively (10% vs 7.5%). They also have a much more usable Mercurial Blow, while other ATs won't find themselves using it at all due to the poor base damage, tanks get bruising+achilles heel out of it.
Scrappers: Get the most out of the damage buff from Form of the Body. Many secondaries will also really benefit from the +res bonus offered by Sky Splitter.
Brutes: Form of the Body damage bonus nearly unnoticeable due to fury. Can't use Gloom to maximum effectiveness due to redraw. While even though Staff's AoE makes up for it's poor ST dps, Staff AoE is still outclassed by SS(rage, radius) and TW(cones, radius). AoE probably on par or slightly better than fire, but fire beats it in ST.
I plan on making a staff fighting toon when it comes out next week. I know some powersets are better on some ATs than on others. KM and StJ are considered really good on stalkers, Electric melee isn't considered quite so good on brutes, etc. Does staff fighting really shine or lag on a particular AT?
