The most common places to slot this are overkill for a Stalker.  That being stealth and infiltration.  You can put one into Hide, Hover, Evasive Maneuvers, then it would get hard to find 2 more defense powers.  Always good to put an Preventative Medicine Absorb proc into Health.  Start believing the recipe you get from Market Crash is something you can use.

There are a lot of weird assumptions implicit in these claims.

 

At the risk of revealing my own 'weird assumptions'

 

The LotG set (and its precious global for +Recharge) is trivially easy IMO to find one-slot powers to use. The Concealment pool is chock full of such powers, and its Infiltration can be used to slot a couple of different nice globals from travel sets as well... unslotters are cheap. Hide certainly fits the bill, but I pretty much always first slot the Kismet +ToHit piece in Hide to improve leveling performance. By level 50, the extra ToHit is not always necessary (based on Accuracy slotting and set bonuses), but I rarely give it up if I'll be playing 'Hard' content. Stalkers can get a snipe, so extra +ToHit increases the damage of the (Fast) Snipe.

 

Health? If there is no other candidate power for the Preventive Maintenance%Absrob, I guess it could go there... but because that piece doesn't need to be in an active power I almost never slot it there. I find the set bonuses from Panacea to be somewhat useful in powers that take Health sets.

 

There is another piece of common wisdom about Health slotting that I almost never follow: Triple-slotting the Panacea, Miracle, and Numina global pieces in Health. By the time the Numina piece can be slotted, the character should probably have already addressed recovery/regeneration/endurance. The few times I slot the Numina's piece there, it is usually because I can use slightly more regeneration, so I slot it with the Numina Health/Absorb piece (and drop Miracle). This is rare for me, as MOAR Regeneration is typically not noticeable; I make exceptions on high HP characters and characters that primarily rely on resistances for survival (and the primary/secondary sets aren't already providing enough Regeneration).

I'm playing Invuln, so if I understand things correctly, I've got 3 powers where I could slot LotG right in my base kit.  Two more useful ones shouldn't be hard to find.
