Was hoping to get some advice on building/slotting out an Ice/Time/Soul I've been leveling. I'm less concerned about clearing large groups and more interested in taking on AVs on my own. With my current build, I'm worried I might be cutting things too tight. It seems like I have a 2-second window to Chrono Shift every 90-seconds or I won't be able to maintain perma-hasten, which isn't ideal. Any advice would be great!

I never played stalkers much on live, and I'm trying to make one that can handle both large groups and a decent number of AVs. I feel like Electric Melee might be a good candidate for that (though I'm worried it might struggle vs AVs since it doesn't have the best ST-attacks). What's really giving me trouble, though, is deciding on a secondary. Ninjutsu, Super Reflexes, and Energy Aura all seem like good options. I think I'm least interested in Energy Aura, as the psi-hole and typed defenses might be a pain. Ninjutsu has a lot fewer must-take powers, and the heal is great, but losing out on SRs 20% recharge AND taking more IOing to cap seems like it might really constrain my build. I know this is a silly/arbitrary goal to set for a stalker, but I've made a scrapper that can do it since I've come back, and I'm interested to see what's possible with stalker instead. Anyone have any advice/thoughts? EDIT: In the interest of providing a more specific build to critique, here's a rough /Nin I put together. I feel like it's a bit overpriced for what I'm getting out of it, but my positionals are soft-capped and I have Shadow Meld and my T9 to try and burst down AVs with high to-hit.

Good to hear, thanks a bunch!

So, maybe a stupid question, but have procs changed considerably since these builds were theorycrafted? Dying to try a Storm/? Defender, leaning towards the Storm/Dark suggested in the updated builds as a starting point. Trying out this proc madness sounds very fun, but I want to make sure things haven't changed dramatically in the intervening year. Particularly interested in seeing how effective this is at soloing AVs, since it seems like it'll be a blast in teams.
