That build looks insanely tough, Croax. Did you consider working in gloom/zapp to boost damage? or did that interfere with the DB flow?

Hey all, After getting a sentinel, brute, and blaster to 50... I'm keen to try a stalker. I want to love the AT, but have never gotten past the mid 20's, even on live. Mostly because I've never had a concept I liked. But now I settled on a natural, classic Dungeons & Dragons style thief. That means weapon primary and no-aura secondary. Please help me choose: Primary: Dual Blades, Ninja Blade, Staff (broadsword animations don't fit for me.) Secondary: Inv, Ninjitsu, SR, Willpower I DFB'd some combo of each to 10ish so far, and the only thing I can really tell is that I didn't like broadsword. Anybody have good (or bad) experiences with a combo of the above? I've got concept, name and costume all ready to go... Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the feedback, good info. I really don't have end issues at all, but then again I only have tough for the +def slots and snow storm to get to frozen armor and hoarfrost. On the topic of snow storm vs. shiver... is snow storm a better use of those slots because it's a toggle so it's set it and forget it? According to in game numbers, shiver gives better -rech numbers. Overall on the /ice side, I feel like I hardly use it at all. I love Frigid Protection, especially because it gives a little taunt which is fun to herd up groups for a big inferno. Chillblain is a waste because its dot is so slow and I so rarely use freezing touch that I sometimes forget I have it. I love this character and am currently plowing through DA arcs with her, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off remaking with fire/ plus a secondary that I'd actually use....

Heya, After being a devoted scrapper/brute player on live, this was my first ever real blaster, and I'm now sold on the blaster life. So... as I just hit 50, I need some help fine-tuning. I'm not looking to farm or solo AV's, not looking to drop billions of influence, just want to get the most I can out of the build within reason. This is a full-time flyer; with fire's insane damage I have felt no need for the blaps... but you could convince me otherwise. Same on the epic choice of cold, and concealment pool. I'm open to suggestions. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Great info, thank you! and your stalker guide is tremendously helpful. cheers

I have a theme/concept that I like and it could go either way, dark melee/electric armor or flipped. Aside from obvious differences (self-heal and -acc in DM, tons of AOE in Elec Melee), is there any synergy going one way or the other? And... I suppose I have the option of doing dark/dark/mu or elec/elec/soul to fit the theme. Anybody have any experience with any of these combos? Man, I hate altitis...

Just got my first 50 in a decade or two, a BR/Inv sentinel. I've tried all the other AT's and keep coming back to sentinel. So for my next one, I have a concept for water blast, and either bio or elec would work as secondary. Any thoughts on which synergizes better? Any pitfalls to look out for? Based on research, it seems both have good healing/end management. /bio has nice offensive boost, but is more click-heavy, more slot-heavy, more power pick-heavy. /elec would give more flexibility and a recharge boost. Anything else I'm missing? Thanks for your help!
