Spines/Energy?

First of all I want to thank you all for putting up with my stupid questions, and even answering them....I appreciate that so much, and I learn from the advice I get.

I was playing my first Stalker, a Spines/Ice and was enjoying it so much I made a second Stalker, a Spines/Energy. I chose energy because I still don't have an /energy toon of any great level and that stun toggle sounded like the cat's meow...perfect for keeping a couple of bad guys out of commission for a bit while I pound on the rest. I also took into consideration the fact that Spines has two ranged attacks which would be good for getting the drunken walkers.

I am now playing this toon more than I am my Spines/Ice. She is now level 22 and is getting stronger and more fun with each new level.

Before I logged out of the game this morning I did my final tip mission. It was a COT mission where you have to kill three archmages. I had to hurry because I had to get ready for work and thus just cared about completing the mission, so, I ran right past all sorts of and ranks of COT....not one of them saw me!

I located the first, one shotted it, and moved on to looking for the rest..rinse and repeat. that was the quickest I have ever gotten out of that mission.

My question is, am I making a dire mistake playing this combo?

Is there something black and evil up in the 30s and beyond that makes this combo a bad choice, or can I happily keep playing????

Hmm..I want to keep playing anyways...if there is something bleak and ugly just around the corner, any tips on what to do to make it palatible???

Thanks so much is advance.....and now I have to scoot my boots to work.

Again.....thanks

Lisa.

No , you're not at all. I have spines/energy myself it does well. The only real drawback to the set is lethal is highly resisted in the game other than it's a well-rounded choice.
Possibly perception , but epics/leadership powers can fill that void very easily. Being typed as well you have that psy hole , but I really don't pay attention to it.
Energize is great for the regen and end discount. Plus the end drain and defense buff from Energy Drain is awesome. No gloom and doom as you get higher level it just gets better personally.
