As the title suggests, I'm working with a bit of a theme for my first Stalker. The premis is a post apocalyptic world in which the Vampires had prepared for what would come after the event. Via science they have made adjustments that suit them nicely for the new world. 

 

I've always loved the series. The mix of Fantasy and Sci-Fi with a smattering of horror. Nom nom nom, I could eat it up all day.

 

My fledgling build attempt follows. I have been paying attention to good advice in other builds.. but, the grey matter is thick.

 

Maybe take a peek and see if I am doing ok? Keep in mind theme played as much a part in the picks as function. Still, I don't want to suck.

 

Thanks as always!

I have a few suggestions/observations:

 

SA: KB->KD, is in an attack that you will never use, ever. Don't waste your inf.

Placate is great. Find a way to get it in. It's that good.

Your defenses are not soft capped (45%), you will get hit a lot and you only have 4 points of Knockdown protection. You will get FREEMED all over town. I have a DA stalker, started with 8 points and respec'd to 12. Much better. Knockdown really sucks.

Drop the Regen in Health. Put the Numina's unique in Physical Perfection in Health. Put a Power Transfer: Chance to Heal in Physical Perfection.

Put the Kismet +6% in Hide as you will want it early and on at all times.

Oppressive Gloom helps with damage mitigation. I really like it in my build.

Just remember you have no DDR so any defense you do build for can get stripped away.

Very much appreciate the feedback.

 

I did what I could. This is what I came up with. I'm still not sure about removing physical perfection. I didn't think I'd want to get rid of the LotG mules either, but, maybe?

 

 I brought Smashing - Lethal - Fire - Cold and Melee defense to the soft cap. Everything else I did what I could.

I kept coming back to this check list and the more I absorbed it, the more I realized I wanted to hit those parameters. I'm mostly a tanker or corrupter player. Not sure why or what that says about me, but I DO know the willpower set usually fits my personal play style ( I'm older, it's less "needy" of my reflexes 😉 )

 

I'm keeping this build ( in fact I've tweaked it a bit more ) but like companies letting it's older workforce go, I'm "going in a new direction". To keep it clean I'll just post in a new thread.

 

Again, thanks very much for the knowledge.
