DB/Stone, will the speed kill me?

I'm thinking about rolling my first redside toon. I want to make him a brute, so I can be kinda like a scranker. I love stone armor, but will the -recharge from granite ruin my fury building potential?

Not really - although you may find yourself using low DPA attacks more often just to maintain an attack chain. A constant attack chain with quick attacks or a lot of things attacking you at once will both build and maintain Fury well.

Granite tends to get a lot of Fury even with slow animating sets because it can sustain a lot of things attacking it at once; it'll do less damage than other Brutes at the same level of Fury because of the -dam, but it'll be able to get to and maintain similar levels fairly easily.

Besides, nothing's saying you can't start off with Rock Armor and switch to Granite after you've got some Fury built up.

Alright, I'll roll him right now and test it out.

DB/Stone is visually cool, since the swords grow to match your size when you activate Granite Armor, but endurance is an issue and the recharge debuff in granite armor might make chaining attacks into combos a pain. Slot for endurance, accuracy, and recharge before damage and rely on Empower combo and Fury, I guess.


Too many alts to list.
