Got one in the early 30s at the moment.
It works very well. Take fault, slot it, use it. Combined with WP it gives you serious levels of survival. You want a lot of end mods, end reds and anything you can have. Stone Melee burns the blue good, even with WPs boost its a bit heavy.
I picked up the little mallet later, 30 I think, to get tough and stamina ASAP. Seismic Smash is lovely, with that, Stone Fist and Heavy Mallet you have great ST DPS.
Tremor isn't amazing, but as its your only AoE DPS its worth taking IMO and its AoE knockdown also works as good mitigation, especially for WP as you still gain HP back when they're lying down. Timed right with fault you need only take damage from bosses, and all the minions around you easily help you regen that back.
Stone/WP is very safe, very SMASH and very fun

cool thanks for the info
any specific order of powers you would recommed?
Wait a sec, I think I have me "will this work" build (which is something I put together to Mids to see if I'm going to hit any problems before I start levelling. Its always just SOs, and always very subject to change).
This isn't the build I currently run, but it would work alright and was my test. I know Hasten was brought forward for Stone Mallet for example

thanks thats really helpful
I'd probably swap one Damage Enh from each attack in favour of another Accuracy. Seeing it's a brute build it's quite easy to get 100%+ Damage buff from Fury so the 30%'ish Damage you'd lose by removing one Damage Enh shouldn't hurt.
Against +2s one Accuracy only isn't enough, and each attack that misses is wasted damage.

Ahah, I should add that my alt was teaming with a Widow and an MM and I knew would be from the start so I didn't see Acc as a problem

hi just started playing as a stone melee willpower brute and was wondering if anyone has got any advice. on how to build it up, or even those two power pools work well together. just looking for advice in general i guess, as this is my first ever brute.
