Hi all

I could use some advice or help with a Stone/DM build....using budget/mid range IO's and slotting advice.

Thanks!

Gonna need more info. What kind of bonuses would you like? Are you going to run mostly in Granite? If so, would you skip most other armors? Do you want to be mostly aggro management, or would you like some offensive output? What kind of budget? Don't just say small, because that can mean anything. Give a guess of amount.

Once you can give us more insight, we'll be able to help you better.

I just built a Stone/DM also! I plan on running (well crawling) mostly in Granite and plan on skipping the other armors. As for offensive output, I would rather have survivability. The goal is to be an invulnerable aggro magnet.

Also, I'm more concerned with build/effective use than slotting.

All advice is welcome and appreciated!

I will use granite(skipped the other armors) for the most part...looking for the best slotting/recipe options for run speed increases/defense and damage resistance. Mainly looking for a durable/aggro managment tank.


I have earth's embrace, rock skin, stone skin, mud pots and granite, tough/weave. I chose quicksand and stalagmites for my epic.

Cost...hmm, I dont have an accurate figure...I dont plan on using the overpriced purple sets. I have a few complete sets of LoTG, Scirrocos, Numinas that I would like to use if possible.

I'm not a fan of teleport, but I understand it's a "must" for granite tanks...if that's the case then I will deal with it,lol.

Ginny,

Are there no other Stone/DM builds out there? Is this a flawed combo?

Okay, this will get you a lot of run speed bonus. Enough to just barely overcome your -speed penalties. Most of the attakcs have enough recharge enhancement that they'll still be up before base recharge times. You'll also be sporting a hefty 20% Defense to Smash/Lethal on top of Granite. I left Minerals in for those times Psi will be the dominant incoming damage. And yes, TP is essential. But use this bind to help:

/bind shift+lbutton powexec_name Teleport

Just hold down shift and click where you want to TP. It's much easier with this.
