good and solid in what?
Solo or teambased?
scranker or aggromagnet?

Stone/SS is a pretty easy to go build in case of GA. Pools should be pretty logic too..

I think the Taunt comes in too late.

This is going to be your second tanker and i'd hope you have some idea of how to play this tanker and keep aggro so that your health bar is the only one moving as much as possible, but personally i really cant see this build accomplishing that for much of the way. Rooted slows you and gives you no vertical movement so whilst your mezzed protected in order to keep your armours on and do your job you have no real decent means for recoveries ie a patrol you were not aware of shows up. Personally i'd have tp self in there early so that you can move fast when needed to gather mobs into your mudpots and taunt also in there early to save on the endurance of having to tp self into a small mob and by flyby taunt to rooted you can herd faster. Herded groups as you know make for faster kills and are better for keeping as many foes debuffed to add to yours and the teams survivability (until some numbnut kills the anchor that is). The haste and superpeed would most definately come later in order to accomplish the change and i'd perhaps go without one attack but atleast other people in the team can kill faster through multitargetting as opposed to people single targetting in their own private fights. Haste i see the point in and superspeed i guess would be superflous or conceptive but affordable.

He will honor his words; he will definitely carry out his actions. What he promises he will fulfill. He does not care about his bodily self, putting his life and death aside to come forward for another's troubled besiegement. He does not boast about his ability, or shamelessly extol his own virtues. - Sima Qian.

22. health
24. stamina
26. mineral armor
28. rage
30. knockout blow
32. granite armor
35. hasten
38. foot stomp

I would advise considering 2 builds. I have a perma granite build, and it frees up slots to have both TP and Fly.

With granite you will find TP almost mandatory.

GA is built to take all the aggro. As i recall from memory my GA/Fire pre respec build was; -

Rock Armour
Scorch
Fire Sword
Stone Skin
Earth's Embrace
Mud Pots
Rooted
Taunt
Combustion
Swift
Health
Stamina
Hasten
Super Speed
Crystal Armour
Fire Sword Circle
Build UP
Granite

The respec looked totally different and includes Hasten, TP, recall friend, air superiority and fly.

For more damage at low put more damage slots into Mudpots, it's a killer. The low level SS attacks are just rubbish.
