Need a build for a savage/dark armour stalker

[Gungadin]

I seem to keep running out of endurance on my sav/dark stalker, even when stacking a bunch of savage attack buffs. At level 27, the dark regeneration power keeps me alive through a lot of accidental damage spilling over from the team's main tank, but it also sucks up my blue bar.

 

I just stuck a Performance Shift +end in fitness, but would appreciate any guides on how to slot and build such a stalker for survivabilty and not running out of end.

[McJigg]

Dark armor in general is known for being incredibly endurance hungry. My advice is designate some extra enhancement slots towards endurance in the toggles and attacks until you can offset it with set bonuses.

[Rokkeb]

I dont know what it is about savage on a stalker, but it is hungry for endurance. My broadsword stalker has way less end issues than savage, and savage on any other AT basically has limitless end.

Thanks for the replies, was hoping for something a bit more specific though? Where to slot what +end proc and whatnot.

I dont know what it is about savage on a stalker, but it is hungry for endurance. My broadsword stalker has way less end issues than savage, and savage on any other AT basically has limitless end.

 

Assassin's Frenzy has about 14 E/s cost out of the box.  The more you use it, the worse your E/s will be.  Savage Leap is also brutal on END use.  So until you can get IOed out it is important to build an attack chain where AF and SL are lead off and bonus use powers rather than a standard part of the attack chain.  On the other hand, Hemorrhage has a very low E/s cost (so pour slots into it ASAP to get it recharged faster if you have END issues).  Shred is also a decent E/s attack.

[csr]

Here's a quick L27 build to give you some ideas.

 

It's a fairly costly build for L27 (buy recipes instead of enhancements for the common sets if you can, then it's not so bad).  I have alternative slotting in the second slotting for powers with sets in them (shift-RClick to switch).  In each case the attacks have 1 Acc, 1 EndRdx and 1 Dam except for Hemorrhage, which has a Rech instead of EndRdx, as it saves you END simply by being used more often.  I also put a 4th slot in Shred for an Achilles' Heel proc, which can shorten fights and save END that way (I estimate that it will help more than the P-Shifter during the fight, though the latter will catch up in between fights), and a Rech in Assassin's Frenzy for more frequent use as a hard hitter (though it does hurt END use, just forgo using it when you're having issues, but what we're really looking for is Dam/End to shorten fights).  The three toggles aren't that costly, so I put just one EndRdx in each, with the other 2 slots for Res.  That will hopefully lessen Dark Regen use, since it's an END hog.  Also, I used both Numina's and Miracle specials.  If you don't want to fork over the INF for those then move the extra slot in Health, perhaps to Dark Regen for a Heal to once again lower frequency of use.

 

In this build I consider Hasten and Placate the best to lose for travel powers if you want such in the build.

I'm racking my brain trying to figure out what to do with my savage/dark stalker.  Does anyone have a good level 50 build that they're having fun with? 

[Brutal Justice]

Put a Theft of Essence chance for +end in dark regeneration and that will make a huge impact on your endurance management.  It basically makes dark regen end free instead of sucking your end dry. Or at least it did back on live. I’m not super well versed on how procs like that work these days.

Dark armor in general is known for being incredibly endurance hungry. My advice is designate some extra enhancement slots towards endurance in the toggles and attacks until you can offset it with set bonuses.

 

Savage Melee coupled with Bio and I have no End issues, love it.

I have a Savage/ and I have a /Dark so I mashed them like potatoes and here's what I got, obviously you can change some things like movement, etc.:
