You can't use Rock Armor or Crystal Armor while in Granite, so they can't assist you. Rooted, however, can be used and it gives Defense Debuff Resistance.

And to expand on that somewhat I don't know of much that would really matter; a decently slotted Granite tanker with Rooted has so much overkill survivability that even loosing most of your defense due to debuffs (something I haven't had happen yet to my Granite tank) should still leave you with more than enough survivability between your resists and regen.
Frankly I wouldn't worry about def debuffs on a Granite.

The only time I can remember this being an issue was once when I was doing an MA mission against a particularly brutal combination of a psi dmg / def debuffer. Since the majority of my psi protection comes from defense and I only have about 20 resists to it it took me down quite a bit in health, but my regen from rooted still kept me alive long enough for the group to take down the AV.
Hi all,
I was wondering about the Defense Debuff Resistance you get with Stone Armor. From Mids figures, I get 60% while I'm in Granite. Is there any way to boost this number ?
Do Rock Armor and Crystal Armor DDR apply also when you're in Granite, or only when you're outside of it ?
Thanks for the answer
