It's best to max both, but you should probably focus on the resistance over defense.

My stone/axe tanker is lvl 38, and I've had enough influence to start crafting sets..... as I don't know the exact percentages, I was wondering if it's worth putting defense enhacenments in Granite Armor, or it's better using only resist damage on it, according to the fact this power admits both of them.
Any suggestion?

The base numbers for granite are 20% defense and 50% resistance to all but psionics, so I would start with resistance and later add some defense Io´s to it.
thx guys, I wasn't sure about using any Serendipity at all (already crafted 2), or even keeping them back for another power instead of Granite Armor (already got 3 Aegis too, and 2 more bidded).

I went for res/end, res, res, def/end, def/end and LotG. Defence i dont mind that much, i rather have lower end usage and bit more recharge 
Dont know the names though, aegis and something.

Aegis is a resist damage set; I've already crafted 16 enhacenments from different sets (Aegis for Granite, Serendipity for Minerals, Focused Smite and Mako's Bite for melee attacks, jaunt for tp, Miracle for Earth Embrace, Tempered Readiness for Mud Pots, Perfect Zinger for Taunt and Performance Shifter for Stamina), I hope get back some influence during this Double XP weekend because I've ruined not only this character, but also my 50's lol...
Btw; as I'd like to be 40-41 by the end of the weekend (quite easy, because I'm 39 atm), I was wondering what epic could be more interesting, or funny or whatever... I've been checking all of them using cityofheroes.gameamp.com and paragonwiki.com, and most of them seem the same to me, 1-2 hold attacks, and 1-2 ranged attack... do you know which ones are the most popular? or which one would you pick or have you already picked?

I used to be earth, more theme wise but also has some nice powers (ST imm and hold, both doing -def), a HUGE PBAoE sleep power (agro pick, lock and helping lowbies in altas), and stalgmites (reduced acc, long recharge,but cool animation - footstomp and stalgmites both stomp the floor)
Now i'm fire, ST imm and hold, ST ranged fireball (fast cast) and fireball (quite faster recharge then stalgmites). Damage wise fire is best bet, proper slotted they are very nice to have.
Energy many take for focused accuracy (+25% acc iirc), i didnt needed it nor and other powers were to meeh for me.
Ice doesnt suit me, afaik again imm and a hold, together with ice blast and snow storm or something (rain of fire in ice flavor). Quite often still used by fire tankers due -slow helps with burn.

Thx for your advice; indeed earth is great, as I've already seen and suffered it during RWZ mothership raids playing other characters, always stun/hold/sleep and so on... it would be a nice change paying those riktis back hehe. I'll probably get earth because, even dealing a lot of damage with pyre mastery, the power I could be interested in is fireball, because all the foes taunted around me, but it's the last one from that epic pool.
