DB/EA Stalker for tough content.

[Sabrehawk]

Hello everyone. I've been playing a DB/EA Stalker for about a year and a half now. I enjoy her a lot, she's vet level 92 at the time of this post. But as I've become more experienced in the game I've begun to seek out greater challenges. It's become clear that certain challenges are going to require a tougher build (for example, the 801 mission series in AE just crushes my current build and even Longbow +4/8 with bosses is an extreme challenge).

 

Toward that end I've been looking at some of Linea's stalker builds and trying to adapt them to Dual Blades. I've come up with the following:

 

This Villain build was built using Mids Reborn 3.1.2.5

Level 1: Assassination 

Level 1: Brawl

 

The idea is to cycle between Melee Hybrid, Rune of Protection, Shadowmeld, Demonic and Overload. All the while keeping my defense boosted by Energy Drain.

 

However, this is my first attempt at creating my own build (you could say it's only half mine, as half was borrowed from Linea's Stalkers). All my other builds have been generously donated by someone on the forums or on discord. I don't really know what I should be looking out for, or if there are terrible errors I have made without realizing it.

 

Would someone with more experience be able to look this over and let me know if I've made a huge mistake somewhere? Helpful suggestions are also greatly appreciated. Thank you.
