Hello all. I'm trying to make a fun-to-play stalker with a focus on layered defense, ability to survive scrapping against multiple foes, and enough damage to take down elite bosses without much difficulty. I'm primarily soloing mission arcs rather than farming, so I'd like the build to be fairly cost effective. Suggestions?

This is how I would do it, now granted it may be something for you to work toward as it is a little spendier than your build. Keep in mind your hide bonuses for Defense are halved once in combat IIRC. Also, you'll want to check the accolades I selected and get those, and the Agility alpha incarnate slot goes a long way toward making it viable at level 50. Also the recovery may look low, but keep in mind there are 2 performance shifter procs which will get you to +2.0 net recovery.

Thanks! I was thinking that Build Up was overslotted, I totally missed the Rectified Reticle set! I'm assuming Hover could be taken in the place of combat jumping. I've gotten very fond of the movement flexibility it gives, though without a fly speed, it might be more annoying that it's worth.

I assume that the Ragnarok set can be aquired from the merit vendor, or do I need to scan the Black Market for that? Also, where does the Superior Stalker's Guile set come from? I saw the non-Superior one on the merit vendor.

Sorry for the questions, I just returned to the game after a bit more than a year and trying to catch up with the changes.

Thanks, I'm liking your version of the build far better, if just for the fact that most of the powers are slotted better for their standard bonuses while still retaining very good set bonuses.
