So if there's 52 views and no comments that means it's not a totally crappy build. Right? :-P
Mate I'm not going to lie to you. Your build needs work. I see 2 posts attached to your name. Did you read / search the forum for builds?
Below is a version of my Staff/ELA stalker. You can see it has MUCH higher resist values especially for S/L, and it also is soft-capped (45%+) to S/L defense (when you turn hide on - hide has a 2.3%+ def value when supressed). Plus it has Shadow Meld from Epic Pool to push def to incarnate trial levels (58%+) every 15 seconds.
What are your build goals? Why did you make the choices you made? You have Energize and power sink in your build, so why did you go for an Epic Pool with more endurance?
On the DB side, what attack chain do you plan to run? You don't have enough recharge to run the crazy top chain of Ab-SS-Ab-AS ... someone who plays DB with lower recharge chains will need to jump in.

I don't think your build is bad but I am noticing that DB and ElA does not have much synergy together. Lightning Reflexes is a nice little bonus but for DB to excel, it really needs a lot of recharge. On the ElA side, to make it a secondary equal or above the rest, it relies on IO set bonuses that provide defense. |

Damage Resistance alone is rarely ever enough especially with a stalker's low inherent hitpoint. I recommend getting S/L defense to softcap or getting S/L/E/N to 32.5% so that one small purple inspiration will get you 45%. I like that you skipped the Fighting Pool in your build but it's hard to ignore the extra 15ish% resistance to S/L that Tough provides. It is pretty helpful.
I played around with your build keeping all the same power picks but altered the slotting and IOs. With hide suppressed, you will be sitting at 32.79% def in S/L/E/N.

Sorry it took so long to respond, work is a pain in the rear. This is the only thread I've posted on, like I said this is the first time I've asked for assistance. I have checked builds on the forums but didnt really find anything so I used my staff/elec stalker for the /elec powers and kinda winged the DB/ side.
my build goals are more or less being able to stand toe to toe with any AV I come across without flinching. with the ppl I team with I usually take the lead scrapper role, so i want to be able to do that with little or no problems. I'm also planning on using this toon on itrials, so he has to be tough enough not to have problems with that. my toon is a hero and don't want to make him a vill to get the patron powers if I can away with it, but if its more advantageous to go red to get the patron pools I will. I took Fly for the toons theme ( he's a Nephilim). The Body mastery is usually my go to pool thats why I took it, but if theres a pool that would be better I'm all for it
I'm trying to stay away from purple sets if possible but if it's a better idea to go with some I'll use em.I hope this helps answer some of your questions. I do want to thank you again for responding and giving me an assist.
Hi, long time reader, first time poster . . .
I've Been playing my Staff/Elec Stalker and have been loving it, thought I'd try a DB/Elec. So I came up with this build but would like some opinions on whether its good, ok or crap.
The only power thats set in stone is Fly, for thematic purposes. I'm going to be usuing him for PVE, i-trials, and general mayhem. I'm trying to avoid purp Enhances if possible. Any advice, critiques and ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance for the help
