I played CoH back during the before times, and I'm getting back into it. I decided I wanted to play a scrapper because a)I wanted an AT that could solo well while still being useful in a group and b)I also did Master Minds and Controllers back in the day(I can't imagine I'll stay away from those archtypes for too long). I played around in the character creator and settled on a Broad Sword/Shield Defense angel/valkrie type character. Working on the background for said character I started to think maybe Stalker would make more sense as hiding/sneaking/assassination would be in their wheelhouse, and Shield Defense is something Stalkers have now, so I figured I'd look into it.
So my for my question, is Stalker a good AT for these powersets, or should I got scrapper instead(or even brute or tanker). Is there anything I should know, power pools that are required, or pitfalls I should avoid?
Thanks in advance for any help. So far this community looks really great, and I'm excited to really get back into playing.
