Eyetooth Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) Looking for some advice. Is a BS/SD power set better played on a scrapper or a stalker? I am a an older player returning and I'm still learning the ins and outs of the class types. Edited July 31, 2022 by Eyetooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Without_Pause Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 BS on a Stalker has less AoE although you are only missing out on a cone. The advantage to Shield on a Stalker is Shield Charge doesn't break Hide so you can use it and then follow up with something else and the follow up will crit. In short, there's nothing about the combo which really swings one way or the other. Top 10 Most Fun 50s. 1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 8. Nothing But Flowers: Plant/storm Controller. 9. Obsidian Smoke: Fire/dark Corr. 10. Blackmoor: Dark/dark Controller. Current obsession(s): Grav/ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemu Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) This is a good read Do take grant cover, Defense Debuff Resistance is Precious. The builds are still relevant for the most part.

SeraphimKensai Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I personally went the stalker route: although it won't crit because it's a pseudopet, Shield Charge doesn't break hide, so you can get a immediately follow-up with an attack for a guaranteed crit right after. The combo works pretty well together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crysis Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I've got both, both at 50 T4 and with fairly equivalent slotting. I -strongly- prefer BS/SD on a Stalker. The Stalker IO's just are too good to pass up, with mostly "Crit-on-Demand" making such a significant DPS difference between the two. SD is just great defense for both, but if given the choice between higher HP of a Scrapper vs -MUCH- higher DPS of a Stalker via the ATO bonuses.....it's no contest.
