My Stalker is level 37 and is MA/SR and I didn't build him for PvP. The only real problem I have with it is that it can't effectively fight higher levels than myself, as said before SR offers one of the highest defence ratios in the game and hopefully in issue 7 the defence changes will undo some of the damage issue 5 did to it.
Also mentioned on the forums before is the fact that Stalker builds are very tight but as long as you don't try and build it specifically for scrapping, I believe that SR and Regen Stalkers can Scrap

Well I'll be back the weekend before, if I can get my lvl 43 ice/storm Controller Tempestgirl up to 45 by then I'll join with her, if not afraid your stuck with my lvl 50 Empath Defender White Magik

Dude, take it as a compliment, he likes your style, yeah we'd all like to go round thinking we have the only version of the costume that we are wearing, but the truth is chances are though are loads of lookilikes about, from the sounds of this guy he'll find another person with a costume that he likes even more and change it again, no need to get stressed about it.

I doubt they'll ever make the system where costume choices are forced to be individual and no one can copy them, it would limit the players who want to make their toons look a like (think of the S4 championship)

Yeah, this happens alot, afraid you can only really do three things about it :-

1. Grin and bear it, it only really happens at lower levels anyways
2. Join an SG, posting on this board generally finds you a good one
3. Once your level 10 create your own SG, best way to stop them coming but very lonely

hope this helps, don't let it distract you too much

Hi Velv,
Welcome to our damp little island, sorry bout the weather, it might get warmer soon (doubt it though)
See you on-line at some point !

The main reason I took super reflexes as a Stalker is because when I'm down to last the last few, I can just stand and do nothing as the bad guys attacks miss me, let hide come back again and AS them (quite funny to watch really), if you don't take your defence powers its no wonder you have to take build up early because you have to kill them before they kill you, when CoV's level limit goes to 50 I might have enough power slots to take build up then, but at the moment anyhow I'd rather keep the defence

The combo of Build up + AS + Placate + high dmg attack I think is essential to the stalker. Take away build up and that sequence does half dmg.

yeah but what if I use Damage inpirations? because I tend to cycle through my inspirations more than most characters I always have damage ones on me, not a dramatic increase in power, but enough to take down a boss

I have teamed with Ammon for over 6 months and where he has sometimes disagreed with my choices he has never tried to influence how I build my characters (though I will admit he does come through a bit blunt sometimes, don't take it in a nasty way), as in terms with the corruptor I think what he's trying to say is that there is a reason why the AT's are given secondaries, to compliment there primaries (ie Blasters having strong melee attack secondaries because they can't handle to many hits up close), if someone decides to focus on there primaries and not there secondaries it's up to them, but it will inhibit there gameplay in terms of teaming and in some cases soloing (thats what the buff/de-buff sets are for) but it would improve there gameplay if they balanced the character more with selections from both. In the end it is up to the person but there quality of gaming would improve if they thought out their characters more

I have only chosen Flurry because its a good move to get at lower levels, and it seems to be working out fine, I don't PvP so one shotting other players isn't really an issue, the whole point I posted the question is, can you make a workable stalker without choosing Build up, It just means slotting Assasins Blow carefully, and from what I've found out yes you can

I need flurry so I can get my travel power and flurry is quite good at lower levels, if you look at the build you can see I take very few attack powers (6 in all) If I was making a scrapper I would have taken alot more. I won't take Crippling axe kick because it immobilises and as a Stalker, If my target decides to run away I'll let it do so I can regain my hide
I may be able to avoid just a few hits but if I'm trying to stay hidden and am detected whilst using AS if they miss me I'm more likely to still get the critical

I am currently making a Martial Arts/Super Reflexes toon and I am finding the power choices quite tight, so my question to you guys is, can you make a decent build stalker and not take build up, this is the map out for my Stalker so far
1- Thunder Kick
1- Hide
2- Storm Kick
4- Focused Fighting
6- Focused Senses
8- Assasin's Blow
10- Flurry
12- Placate
14- Super Speed
16- Hurdle
18- Health
20- Stamina
22- Practiced Brawler
24- Agile
26- Dodge
28- Quickness
30- Crane Kick
32- Eagle's Claw
35- Evasion
38- Elude
I'm not taking Hasten as I need another attack power and I've chosen hurdle instead of swift because I need the height it gives but this doesn't really matter because Quickness gives me run speed and recharge
