So are you now going to add something useful?

Fault doesn't do any damage though. Personally I've found Stone/Fires AOE combos too slow and fiddly, and the single-target attacks too slow to recharge (thus hurting Fury building) to make him a very good steam-roller. Tremor is incredibly slow to animate as well.|

Add in the fact that Burn doesn't play well with Fury (Burn only has your Fury Damage bonus for about 2 seconds, then it loses it) and my Stone/Fire turned out a bit too awkward to be a true AOE Death Machine. My Claws/Elec is better at dealing AOE hurt overall.
Build-wise I guess recharge, recharge, recharge (and Recovery). If you're farming then you can pick enemies that do Fire damage and basically not need to worry about defenses. Stone Melees biggest issues are the slow recharge of the powers and the hideous End consumption. So aim for things which cover those.
Primary aside, how do you shore up the protection on /Fire? I guess you can add Tough, but is there any meaningful amount of defense you can get without purple IOs?
I guess maybe I'll see if I can find some good non-purple SS/Fire builds and see if I can adapt them.
I have a Stone/Fire/Leviathan Brute, lvl 50, that's a blast to play. He's fairly well-slotted with IO sets, mostly for regen and recovery. But no purples.
I'm interested in doing an alt build for farming and I'm looking for some suggestions. As I don't have any purples, please don't suggest them for right now (hoping to pick up a bunch from the farming).
I know the FOTM is SS/Fire, but I'm not sure why Stone can't do everything SS can.
Any ideas?
If anyone is interested I'll post the build I have now. Thanks!
