Mm, no. Nightstalker is ridiculously good. Shadowshot doesn't lose potency like the damage supers. Tether with Blackhole completely shuts down hordes of enemies (incredibly useful against Taken).
Nightstalker is also officially the go-to subclass for Orbs, as Light of the Pack makes any tethered enemy that dies generate an orb, no matter WHO kills them... even if it's some random patrol dude. Being able to make Shadowshot amplify damage to all targets or tether more targets at a greater range for a long time means that you'll be making orbs for days no matter what.
If you want syngergy, use the Blood Bound perk for Shadowshot, and throw a Vortex grenade into a group of tethered enemies. Congrats for being able to kill groups faster than any other subclass.
This same perk can make any damage super or ability relevant in any content.
Shadowshot + Swords = Fun
Also Monte Carlo + Smoke = blind all the things

Defender is still better for orbs At st14 armoire bubble on a bunch of thrall literlu lets you punch blind enemies while u r invincible generating an orb with every kill

No, "Light of the Pack" makes it so that there is no limit to the amount of orbs generated. Just like Defender can punch thralls, Nighstalker can tether an area and every thrall that comes within range will be tethered and produce an orb when killed. Nightstalker doesn't even have to get the kill, and it doesn't even have to be thralls. Unlike Defender, it works just as well with shielded enemies or majors because your teammates can use guns and their own abilities to kill and help generate those orbs, and the super grants a damage boost against tethered enemies to make that even easier. The damage boost applies to all damage, btw, not just weapons. Defender for orbs is highly situational, and even then still doesn't produce nearly as many orbs.

I don't know man, I love the defender titan but I gotta say, the nightstaker is a good orb producer too. Not to mention the hunter has an exotic helm that gives them the produce orbs on heavy kills perk the titan has.

Couldn't have put this better myself. Tether + blood bound + vortex is insane
