Brother Stalkers- StJ/SR ? Thoughts on how to get acceptable resistance?

[the mauler]

After playing around with Pines, It seems that that StJ/SR should work well -  at least as far as defense/recharge etc goes but resistance is pretty hard to come by. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for you thoughts!

Oops! I'm still new to this whole thing.  heres a potential build. Resists are somewhat pathetic. Does it matter with a stalker solo/teams?

[Zumberge]

As a general rule, if you're a heavy defense-based set (e.g. Super Reflexes, Shield Defense, Energy Aura) you should focus on hitting the 45% defense softcap first.  If you're positional (ranged, melee, AoE) it's a little easier, if you're typed (smashing, lethal, energy, etc.) it's less so, in which case go for S/L first, then energy.  Buffing resists is nice, but it won't take you as far as defense will if you're not resist-based.

 

That said, don't worry about focusing on resists with SR.  Global recharge, endurance discounts, and recovery will take you further.

 

_{(I'm pretty sure someone's done the math on how there's a mind-bogglingly effective HP multiplier going from 70% to 75% versus going 0% to 5% on resists, or vice versa, but all that matters is that Good Numbers go up and Bad Numbers go down.)}

I have a fully IO'd psi/Sr stalker. Full softcapped defenses to all positional defenses (and some extra for running incarnate content). With things hitting me only 5% of the time, I am able to heal myself in the middle of normal combat without issue. I do not worry at all about being hidden and often take the alpha strike from groups (although I can Dodge it).

 

SR can be a godly secondary especially since you can get a ton of defense debuff resistance.
