Been wanting to roll an Elec./Shield character. My first instinct was to go Stalker, since AS is a nice extra single target attack that the other melee ATs don't get. Is there a reason a Scrapper/Brute would be better for this combo (I don't want to Tank because I generally suck at it tbh).

 

Also, do Lightning Rod and Shield Charge crit on hitting while hidden? I thought I read somewhere that SC doesn't but just wanted to verify that.

I have a Stalker, Scrapper and a Tank, they're all good but I think the Stalker is the best. As you mentioned AS beefs up the single target damage of Elec and it's quite noticeable. The nukes don't crit but they also don't break hide. Endurance will probably be your biggest struggle while leveling.

Neither Lightning Rod or Shield Charge crit under any circumstance on either stalkers or scrappers.

I'll add another to the Stalker votes.
Stalkers usually struggle for AoE, but Electric Melee was ported with its AoEs intact, so it's the best AoE set for them. With Shield, you actually have a Stalker with good AoE damage, while still having the great ST damage of Stalkers. Losing out on some defense stats is worth it for the damage output.

Stalker is hands down the best for a melee.. While Shield Charge and Lightning Rod don't crit.. they also don't break Hide which allows you to use another attack that can crit, like Thunderstrike as an AoE

i also have an elec/shield stalker. there are no other ATs worth rolling this combo as the stalker benefits greatly from having quick AS as part of the attack chain
