11Troy11 Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 I've decided to shelve my NB stalker and remake him as a scrapper (I want my AOE). I started playing around with Stj yesterday, and really fell in love with it. I've looked around, and can't find a really good build for it though. Is it possible to achieve softcapped defenses (incarnated included), solid end management, and permanent hasten in one build? If anyone has a build that achieves this, I would be ever so grateful.

Crater Kate Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 This character is the result of a lot of tinkering over time, so I didn't track costs, but it's a lot. I'm using very few sets that even run under 4-5mil/piece. You're probably talking close to a billion inf ballpark, maybe less. You can shave the costs down a whole bunch by dropping Winters and purples in favor of more Mako's Bites, Touch of Deaths, and the like. That'll still get you a very good build that'll sit around 51% defenses with hide up, with better resists and health. I was running something like that for a long time and it was very very serviceable. And then you can work on Winters as you can afford it.

I've seen a few different stalker builds with it in there, but I'm not sure why a stalker needs to fly
Hopestar Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 Stalker could use flight against enemies that fly exclusively like Seed of Hamidon but there's jetpacks for that too. Probably just preference especially since there's only Spirit Ward being used. If it was for the self resistance shield, then that would make sense. Here's my build that softcaps defense, levels down easy (hasten is lvl 30 IOs because of this, easily permahasten if you use 50s instead and definitely permahasten regardless with Ageless.) Caps S/L resist at 60% health and proc heavy for eeking out the most damage possible; End isn't perfect, but I don't wanna sacrifice damage output for saving end and putting 2 more slots in Stamina won't be enough (equivalent of less than the 1 proc in it now). About ~500mil in the current market. Stalker_StreetJustice_SuperReflexes_SoulMastery Revamped.mxd

Edit: and replying to @00Troy00and/or @11Troy11(there's two of you?), Mystic Flight is mainly personal pref, but enabling an extra health slot for Preventive Medicine via Spirit Ward is also a plus - it essentially converts a power choice (that I wasn't using) into an extra slot.

Mezmera Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Crater's power picks are closely similar to my Stj/SR stalker's. I do go for Sorcery too with those first two powers but I'll also add in the Rune of protection for some nice Resists to balance out with the defense side of things. Aside from the differences in our IO's the powers I find substituted are that I don't have Spinning Strike and Superior Conditioning and in their place I have Rune and Focused Accuracy. All in all Stj/SR is a pretty tough cookie.
