Staff/Ninja/Ice

[WuTang]

I've been kicking this around since yesterday. Some buddies wanna do a Staff team, the AT is up to me though. I've read this and that about Scrapper vs. Stalker, but I wanted to use Ninja because I've never used it before and on paper at least Ninja didn't look as good on a Stalker...could be completely wrong though. And, just messing around with the costume, I came up with a great looking ice ninja...so I want to use Ice Mastery. So...never used Staff or Ninja or Ice...so.....no clue. Staff is cool looking but the DPAs look low, and I DO NOT understand how Ninja works. Some of the builds I looked over, the endurance looks wonky. I know there is a clicky...with a nearly 2 sec cast, but is that to be leaned on that hard? And are we supposed to shoot for as much resist as possible or is ~40% doable.

 

I don't have access to the build I worked on, but to be honest it's just a Frankensteined version of about 3 builds I looked over. What in Staff is skippable and in Ice Mastery, does Shiver have a cool effect? Kind of hoping for a fog effect like you get from some Storm powers. I was thinking of using Frozen Spear, Shiver, and Frigid Wind. Also, and I guess I should've asked this first, Ice any good? The debuff looks strong, but MIDs could be displaying incorrect data.

 

SR is my backup for Ninja; I wanted a Def oriented set. Also, if I go SR might switch to Stalker.

 

Any help would be muy apreciado!

 

And a belated Merry Christmas to you all!

Legit, Staff is best on stalkers, due to the insert of AS and BU, and the permanent Form of the Body. Still functional on other AT's.

Ninjitsu is useful, SR lite with more tools, less "fire and forget" and DDR, tho. Also, not all of it is necessary (Caltrops, Blinding Powder, and the T9 are all skippable).

If Staff is the lock-in, but AT/Armors are flexible - I'd suggest looking at either /Ice Scrapper, /Ice or /Nin Stalker... If you're going /SR, I'd 100% recommend Scrapper over Stalker for that, larger HP pool means the passives work better for resistance.

Nuther question...

 

Staff, Sky Splitter, worth skipping for a snipe?

Oh and here'e my...I don't even know what rev I'm on...build. 

 

I borrowed some of @Grizleeslotting, it's better than what I had.

Haven't made a call on my Staff/Stone Scrapper...

But, my Staff/SR Stalker skipped it... Same DPA as Serpent's Reach, unless you're consuming stacks.
