Yo!

I have 3 slotted my stoneskin with dam red,
and 6 slotted Granite with 3 dam red and 3 defense.
Works very well

It's not worth slotting anything with more than three enhancements as any after that offer very minimal improvements. Three dmgres slots in Granite takes you to just under 80% resistance. The reason most people take stone skin is so that they can cap the Smashing/Lethal resistance whilst in Granite (cap is 90%) and I think you can do that with just the default slot in stone skin (if the enh are green).

Most people either put three def slots in Granite (as it only has 20% base defence) or if they think that is overkill, might replace one or two with endred.

well atm i got stone skin 6 slotted with dmg resistance
and granite six slotted with dmg resistance also hehe

so i mite respce to

stone with just the 1 slot dmg resistance
granite armor with 3 dmg reistane and 3 def .

i don't if it's overkill as long as i am not wasting slots on dmg res that i am already capping it 2 times over like my build is atm lol.

thanks

It's not really a capping issue. The way things work nowadays is that the first two enh work as normal. The third is only about 85% effective ( I think) and the last three are about 5% effective. You get very little return on the last three so it's generally better using them somewhere else. So for GA, three slotted is 78% res, 6 slotted is 82.5%.

Stone Skin 3 damage resistance
Granite 2end 1Damage res 3def buff

this is in my opinion the best way to slot it

with 3slotted stoneskin and 1 in GA you're pretty much capped in that department

2end reds is needed if your an "active" tanker since GA is quite heavy on end (0.48/tick unslotted iirc)

and the 3def buffs shouldnt need explaining




this is the slotting i use on my lvl50 stone tank and its absolutely lovely

ofc 3slotted swift is almost a must as well

Actually you are nowhere near the cap. One res in GA takes you to 60% and 3 in stone skin gives you about another 15.5% - miles off the 90% cap and that's only for S/L. You are 40% off for F/C/E/NE. Filth gave a much more detailed rundown for you back in the thread about slotting GA if you didn't see it. I think his bottom line was you are taking twice as much damage as a tank with 3 res slotted in GA.
