Stalker Primary

Hey Guys,

I recently came back to the game after a year long break and want to build a stalker.

Outside of Elec/, what primaries do you recommend? What are the positives and negatives of different sets? Particularly, I've been looking at Street Justice and KM. However, I'm open to other suggestions.

Gracias

em still hits like a truck. KM gives you some ranged follow ups..BS because you get a big sword!...

Does anyone specifically have first hand experience or knowledge of the Street Justice set on a Stalker. I am leaning toward that set, but since I'm just coming back from a break I don't know how well it performs on a stalker. Thanks.

Haha, that is great. I understand the concept though. More concerned with how strong the powerset is in comparison to others, benefits of picking it, etc.

Crushing Uppercut and do almost as much damage as AS if slotted right. That is why it is popular, oh, and it has a fast animation unlike Thunder Strike

The faster animation/activation was definitely something I liked about CU. Any suggestions for "slotting it right?" I know I like to slot, but I'm not familiar with Stalkers and realize it may be a little different. Thanks so much for your responses.

2 level 53 Acc/Dmg HOs + Neuronic shutdown proc + Ghost widow Proc + Mako proc + ToD proc

All of those procs have to be PPM from the paragon market store. It'll give you 100% chance for +287 unresisted damage each and every time you use it. Warning though, it'll cost about 10$ worth of points and they're fixing it after the summer or so.

For now, it's pretty broken, and it's one of the only big t9 hitters that can be slotted like that.


Aside from animating quickly, CU is like a thunderstrike that crits everytime.

For comparison...

Thunderstrike double crit----------= 386.96 Dmg
Crushing Uppercut crit (Combo 3)--= 370.49 Dmg
Crushing Uppercut crit (Combo 2)--= 349.08 Dmg
Crushing Uppercut crit (Combo 1)--= 337.56 Dmg
Crushing Uppercut crit (No Combo)-= 329.32 Dmg
Eagles Claw crit-------------------= 317.14 Dmg
Head Splitter crit------------------= 292.32 Dmg
Thunderstrike Single crit-----------= 290.22 Dmg

-Quick animation
-Enhanced accuracy of 1.2
-Range is 13 feet (Others are 10 or 7)
-Stun/Hold attached
-Slots more procs
-Combo level 3 is 100% chance for double thunderstrike crit damage
-Damage is brokenly good

I never looked at it closely, but Street Justice is imbalanced as hell in zone. I need to talk to a dev about this.

There is literally no reason to roll anything but Street Justice. What are the chances it's a powerset you need to pay for eh?

Thanks for the great numbers break down Juggs! I didn't realize StJ was so good, I just love playing MA and wanted something similar without making another MA toon.

Thanks Bro. I sent you a PM on here. Mainly I'm just spending time on Mids trying to retool my old builds to get them up to date. I'll have to check out PvP Redux sometime too if y'all meet when I'm not working.
