I agree that more information would be helpful, but I can outline some general points:
If you are going for running in granite most of the time, you are faced with some -dmg and -rech penalties.
Superstrength Advantages:
-You would recieve benefit from the FF+rech proc in footstomp, which you would not in lightning rod.
-Rage deals with the damage penalty nicely. You just need enough recharge to keep it perma in granite.
-Footstomp has a 20 second base recharge, which will let you fire your AoE fairly often.
-It fits thematically better. Most people don't think of a typical rock conducting electricity (you could argue it's laden with iron ore or something)
Electric Melee Advantages:
-Lightning Rod has a short-range teleport built in. Can be handy at times on a stoner. At times, since it has a base recharge of 90 seconds.
-I imagine Jacob's Ladder would look pretty cool on a stone brute.
-You have several AoE attacks (Thunderstrike, Chain Induction, and Jacob's Ladder) to throw out.
Thanks, I have decided to go with Elec/stone
Can someone tell me which would be better? The pro's and con's for each would be grrrreat.
Thanks!
