First I must say, my search-fu isn't weak for my quest for threads relating to this are not present. So I will begin this thread on the matter here.

I've been working on this build, an energy melee/ninjitsu stalker for a while. So far this build posted below seems more than likely to be the complete and final. Before I completely respec into this build, I would like for those who are quite familar with them (melee) to comment on it for suggestive ideas and/or changes if need be, and why. It's mainly a pvp toon for RV and arena (although its not a spcified build for 1v1 matches).

I do not know if its lacking anything that could benefit better.

Any advice and suggestions are well appreciated. Thanks

Okay, I did some retweaking to it. Tell me what ya think!

A few tells me that its not a good idea to 5 slot AS with ATO's but the proc alone works great, also itis mentioned that three HO's and three procs (2 damage, 1 Hide Proc) is better. I may can agree with that.

What Incarnates shall I go with for this build?

Thanks!

My personal favorite slotting of AS is 2 Nucs that you toss a few enhancment boosters on. Hecatomb proc, ATO proc, Glad Strike Proc + Glad Strike quad. With musculature alpha you are still pushing 125% + damage enhancment.

Like most stalker builds, travel powers are underslotted.

Whatever your follow up attack is, you should probably toss some damage procs into that. Whether you are going for sharks or ET/TF.

Stalkers for the most part either A. Hunt squishies or B. AS/ Follow up melee toons and hope there are enough people around to finish them off. The few big hits you get you want them proccing as much as possible before you go back back into hide. Most melee with half a brain will see no real threat from a single stalker.

Since you built for acc/rech more than ranged defense I'd suggest picking up burnout for more uptime with Retsu. For incarnate's Pyronic is still the fastest follow up. Ion is for MM's. Destiny you could probably make a case for Barrier, Ageless (to get rid of Retsu crashes) or rebirth. If you team / 2 v 2 or other smaller matches incandesence is pretty much god mode.
