Specific Info On Animated Stone

Kyriani · 08-06-2009 07:36 AM

I have red the city of data info about Animate Stone but does anyone know what sort of limitations this pet (or any pet for that matter) have as far as resistance or damage caps?

Here's an example... if you had Animated Stone slotted with the 2 IO pet resistance enhancers and then buffed him with both of Thermal's shields... would his resistance to things cap out at 90% like a tanker? or is it lower? Can it reach 100%? (I doubt this very much)

I am just curious how durable stoney can be with the right enhancements and buffs.

My understanding is that the damage-resistance cap for critters in general, including pets, is 90%.

I believe this is right, with the exception of Stoney having a base 100% resist to psionics, but that's just because he is who he is.

Thanks for the info.

Given an earth/thermal/fire app controller... about how well do you think such a character could solo an AV using a buffed stoney to tank? Would it even be possible or would the lack of strong damage make it out of a reach?

I do believe that it can be done. Heat Exhaustion is -500% Regen, and I think an even-con AV will suffer 15% of that, so that's -75% Regen. It's 40 seconds up with 120 recharge, so it can be made perma with high Recharge. It's not the really strong -Regen and -Res that Rad or Cold put out, but it's not inconsequential either.

Damage will be low but steady, with Stone Prison keeping the AV immobilized and setting up Containment, and Fire Blast as the best DPE attack to add more damage. Between those two "blasts" and Stoney's damage, with perma-HE and near perma Melt Armor on the AV, it looks doable.

Defensively, it definitely looks doable. Between the shields and the heals, with perma-HE meaning permanent -50% damage (usually resisted by the AV's resistance to that damage type, but still usually -30% or stronger), you should be able to keep Stoney up indefinitely without even having to spam heals. That's a good thing as you'll need to keep tossing attacks out for more damage, even with Forge on Stoney.

In the end... it has a good combination of solid defense via Stoney, solid though not top-tier -Resist/Regen debuffing, and due to the relatively long durations on the buffs and debuffs, as long as you're not healing too much, you have time to blast to make up for the low-medium damage from the primary.

Here is a sketchpad build I was working on for Mids, you can easily change Ice epic to Fire. Pretty cheap, too, I think:
