Stone/Fire

I've done some searches and I've not found all that much about this combo other than it's.. challenging due to slow attack chains and endurance usage. I really like the combo for this concept I'm going with tho and would like to try and make it work. Does anyone have any pointers on dealing with the trouble spots of this build? Should I avoid Blazing Aura until post Stamina or just not get it at all? Should I pick up Air Superiority to fill in the attack chain? Etc.

If there are any builds out there that I missed, I'd be grateful to see 'em.

Thanks!

Stone melee is undoubtedly one of the smashiest feeling brutes around. It also (if you take fault) provides some very good mitigation which Fire armor needs. I've played both sets a lot, but not together to any significant level.

I'd go for it, particularly if Castle ever gets round to looking at the Fire defensive set as was suggested might happen at some stage.


It's true. This game is NOT rocket surgery. - BillZBubba

Here is a build I have put together for myself, but haven't gotten around to making it yet. It concentrates on +recharge, +recovery and +hit points. I placed the Force Feedback proc in Fault and if it goes off regularly you will have perma hasten. On paper the build looks good and should be a heck of a farming build.
