My Psi/Energy/Soul build. Feedback?

[Klipster]

So I took a crack at this, I've never tried either set, but I think I'm happy with the result. Shadow Meld will only be down for about 10 seconds, near perma-hasten, resists could better but I'm not too worried about it. Should also have a somewhat decent attack chain. I'm open to any thoughts/critiques/suggestions. Thanks!

I'm just going to make 1 suggestion: You should put the Gaussian proc in Concentration. It will trigger most of the time you use Concentration. Where you have the chance of reset-your-buildup proc is irrelevant because it's a global, but Mass Levitate will trigger it FREQUENTLY.  So expect to have build up as part of your attack chain and expect to have double to quadruple buildups. If you are tight for that slot, you can take a slot out of stamina, you're overkilling it with 4 pieces of Performance Shifter; the 2.5% recovery bonus is just not going to make a difference on top of you having its proc and the three recovery procs in health. (The 3-piece hit point bonus could still be useful so I'm not going to suggest just going for 2 endmods and boosting them instead of a set here.)

Great, thanks! I get paranoid with endurance, but I can see your point.

Nice build. I have questions/comments:

What's your attack chain? I think I would miss TK Blow but my Psi stalker is not advanced enough to really make that call yet. In fact I'm finding this thread because I'm getting ready to actually plan a build for him.

It looks like you don't have toHit to get fast snipe activation (for moonbeam)? It might be worth slotting it with an Experienced Marksman eve though you lose some psi and toxic resistance. Put 5 apocalypse in the snipe and you get extra global rchg too.

All defense types except Psi are softcapped without Shadow Meld. I'm nit sure how much you get from it in the build. it's a huge defense boost that helps coping with defense debuf, but only last 15s (at least it's up a little more than 1/2 the time). I wonder if taking Zapp+Ball Lighnting could be a better choice for the AoE attack?

The latest updated introduced new endurance mod sets for endurance draining powers, not sure it any of them would be a better choice in Endurance drain, I haven't studied them yet and looks like Mid's doesn't support them yet

I've never used Placate. How good is it? At least it looks it's Mag 4 so it should work on bosses? For a Stalker, since it provides Hide equivalent, I assume it's not about getting away but setting up a crit?

I made some changes to your build to suit my taste. Mostly the changes above, including the important snipe one, and made Hasten Perma.

I took the Mu pool because it gets me an AoE and I think Shadow Meld is overkill on top of the existing defense.

I think the build could still have some work done to trade more defense for extra resistance

My character is using flight for a better thematic fit, but otherwise your travel powers are a better fit. CJ is much easier on endurance, and superspeed+sprint with a stealth IO is full invisibility. you should be able to swap CJ for Hover without changing enhancements. 

 

This was really about improving the attacks and damage rather than changing totals, as you can see they are very similar

In fact one of the global 3% recharge slot could be taken out of Kinetic dampening and you;d still be over the 45% softcap expect for Negative (by a hair) and Psi (which was never close)

Not sure where to put it though, maybe another Ragnarok to regain a bit of Psi resist and get it back in line with your numbers?

lol forgot we wer talking about a stalker. no need for SS+IO when you have Hide!
