Further question on Stj/Bio - build advice

Xingularity · August 2, 2019

Hey everyone. I've been trying to work on my Stalker and was hoping for some guidance. I quit the original game soon after Invention IOs became available and I never had a character who could afford them in the first place, so I don't have much experience. I've just been winging it so far, and I'm at level 43 now. I don't have any of the purples linked in this build, but I do have a few farmers, so I could get them once I got a bit higher level and started putting slots in to need them. Can someone help me figure out if this is the best use of slots for this type of character? Are these the best IOs I can use? I plan on upgrading Assassins Mark and Stalkers Guile to be superior soon after I hit 50. Here's what I've planned out so far - the slots are slightly rough on when I've placed them since I didn't have a build I worked on until the past week or so.

Any thoughts or ideas on making this a better build would be appreciated. I mostly use this either single player PVE or team PVE. I don't PVP at all.

Thanks. 🙂

I've now hit 50, and started working on incarnates. I have not respeced yet. So my build is as follows. The exceptions are I'm still buying the purple fortunata in genetic corruption and the panacea in boundless energy.

Any thoughts on tweaks I can make? Or should make?

StrikerFox · August 17, 2019

-I recommend only taking either Initial Strike or Heavy Blow, not both. It will save 5 slots to put elsewhere.
-Boundless Energy is an auto power? Take Panacea Heal/Rech instead of End/Rech. It will provide more +hp and regen.
-A single End Mod IO would provide more recovery than a Performance Shifter proc in Boundless Energy. (End Mod IO provides 0.23 e/s; PF proc provides an average of 0.20 e/s).
-Splitting the Superior Stalker Guile set into two will provide +10% S/L def instead of +5%.
-I recommend adding the Achilles' Heel proc into Shin Breaker.
-I recommend adding the Fury of the Gladiator proc into Sweeping Cross.
-I like Reactive Defense Scaling Damage Resist. It starts off at +3% resist to all damage types and jumps up to around +13% when down to about 15% hp.
-I recommend Stealth over Combat Jump if constantly using Ninja/Beast Run as a travel power. They can be toggled on at the same time.
-I would drop Moonbeam for Waterspout unless MB can be kept as an insta-snipe.
-I recommend picking your incarnate powers, especially Alpha and Destiny. They can greatly affect mitigation and powers, and how you may slot them.

I really know nothing about Bio and what Defensive, Efficient and Offensive Adaptation do or how they affect stats. I would just pick one adaptation and build around that.

Thoughts:

Initial Strike. Your Toxic/Psi resist isn’t really high enough to care about 6-set bonus here, so you’re probably better off tossing a proc in.
Heavy Blow. There’s rarely any reason to take both basic attacks - usually you only need one for a rotation and one is better than the other. Also, the Assassin’s Mark proc may be very useful, but the set is nothing special. I’d just grab the proc and use some other set.
Assassin’s Strike. Stalker’s Guile really begs to be split for twice the 3-slot bonuses. Your defenses are horrible, so you need to work on that.
Build Up. If you’re set up to proc Assassin’s Mark, you don’t need recharge here.
Sweeping Cross. Bio Armor can be tough on a Stalker. Stalker innately want to pursue positionals (since they only need 2-of-3) but Bio Armor strongly incentivizes the typed. However, it’s a decision you need to make: typed vs. positionals. I don’t see much reason to take a full set of Obliteration here.
Boundless Energy. All that endurance/recharge/whatever is wasted here. I’d recommend you do something more like 2 + 2 with Performance Shift proc & endMod and Panacea proc & Heal - then save the set bonuses for the power that actually needs the enhancement (Ablative Carapace).
Shin Breaker. Start with Force Feedback: chance for recharge. Only then start thinking how you’ll fill out the remaining 5 slot. There’s nothing you can do with this power that’s more worthwhile than the Force Feedback proc.
Combat Jumping. Normally, putting defense enhancements into powers with as little base defense as Combat Jumping isn’t all that worthwhile and you’re not getting much of a set bonus.
Crushing Uppercut. This is another issue with straight-slotting a set that doesn’t justify it.
DNA Siphon. You probably want at least some -recharge in here.
Genetic Corruption. Chance for Placate is pointless here - anything you can placate is already asleep. For that matter, the power itself is rather pointless since it doesn’t actually debuff resistance or do anything but put enemies to sleep.
Moonbeam. You need a way to hit insta-snipe consistently to make this worthwhile.
Parasitic Aura. It looks like you’re just taking the power to take it. You don’t need it for a mule and it’s not a particularly useful power in most cases - it’s better to have a strong overall build than a panic button for when you get in over your head.

I've linked my current iteration of Ice/Bio below for comparison. While there are different elements at work in the primary, a lot of what I did with secondary/pools can be adapted. It's got similar levels of resist to your build, but capped typed defense, insta-snipe and an overall higher damage rotation.
