IMO Stone kinda goes against the Brute way. It's so slow with Rooted and/or granite you'll usually end up toggling them every 10 seconds or getting really frustrated at your lack of speed and your fury dropping.

@Miss Chief
Stone is good 4 pve but not pvp, try any of the others as you will have greater mobility, I find my /EA best because of energy drain, and have aid self to compensate for lack of a heal in it. Def seems to work better these days to.
But EM is definately one of the nicest single target sets to get for pvp offensively.
I was about to roll a brute and i want something that will be steady both in PvE and PvP.
Any suggestions? - i was looking and nearly chose En/stone...but i dunno.
Suggestions for good brute build would be gladly received
