Modern Stalker Powersets - Maybe Build Up isn't required?

Uh, I would highly recommend reconsidering that, as stalker BU and the ATO are absolutely amazing. Seriously, it's that good on stalkers.

Sure, the ato procs are everything and a bucket of chicken wings. But buildup the power? I absolutely will trade every time a minor boost in situational damage for broad range constant affect, be it survivability or other, every time.

Why not both?  BU recharges real fast and super fast on average with the stalker ATO.  Sure feels like a constant effect to me.  There's 23 other powers to choose from to add to your survivability, I think that's doable with still being able to dabble into this one power.
