End Recovery / End Reduction, at least until you get into the 20s and get both Stamina and Consume (which you want ASAP). My Stone/Fire was the most horrific burner of End I've ever come across.


Building Fury can be difficult too since a lot of your attacks are slow to recharge (but quick to animate) and a lot of the time your enemies are wandering around stunned or getting off the ground. So two quick-recharging attacks (Stone Fist and Air Sup for example) are a good idea. By the same token lots of recharge in the mallets & Seismic and/or lots of Global Recharge is good. Means those heavy hitters recharge quicker, as does Healing Flames. If you can get some Slow Protection IOs or bonuses then do as well, -Recharge debuffs do evil things to a Stone/Fire Brute.


Lastly be aware that Burn doesn't play well with Fury, if you look at Mids the damage listed there when you've got high fury is incorrect. This is because Burn takes 10 seconds to put out that damage, but the inherited damage from Fury only sticks around for the first 2 seconds.


So Recovery and Recharge are good.

Would it be smart for me to focus on some resistance IO bonuses for this guy?
