Just got my Stone/Invul to 50. Real sturdy brute. Probably one of the toughest I've played so far.
Generally Stone does well with a secondary that has some end recovery. Willpower, Electric Armor, etc. Though with proper slotting you can make it work with anything.
I have a lot of fun with my Stone/Energy Aura, softcapped to all cept psi of course. Sets still costly on the blue bar since I had to sacrifice end reduction for softcapping. But with +rech in tremor and fault, energy drain is up quite quickly. Have yet to Incarnate him, busy w/ other things.
I recently got my stone/wp to 50 and i gotta say it was a fun ride. i almost exclusively solo'd (partly from lack of options..damnable AE..and partly just to see what this combo could do). I was running at +2/6 after getting tremor and just steamrolled almost everything in my path. Now with some rather extensive IOing Im nigh invincible in most situation(-def or -regen being my only real weakness). All the KD, siesmic smash to hold problem foes, and now soul mastery for the -tohit means versus most things if I cant keep them on their butts, they arent hitting me anyways. Also...no end issues...unless I pop hasten while running all my toggles..then it might get down to 75%..maybe

Stonefather - 50 Stone/WP/Soul brute
Sable Affliction - Earth/Dark/Fire Dom
Wild Cipher - Beast/Time MM
Thanks for the responses. Ive been looking at the different secondarys and I am leaning to WP and Elec Armor. Im leaning more towards WP though. Still need a name and thats what usualy keeps me from not making new charicters.

As someone who has a 50 SM/WP and 40 SM/ElA, I can say that you'll most likely be happy with either. I'd personally give the slight nod to /ElA because while Willpower is more survivable (RttC > Energize), cranking up the recharge on my SM/WP (she's at ~220-230% with slotting + global) causes her to run through endurance even with Stamina + QR and ~60-70% EndRed slotting. But she almost never bites off more than she can chew - even without trying to softcap S/L. |

On ElA the higher the recharge, the more often Power Sink is up to refill your end, and Fault means that the survivability difference is far less noticeable than it would be for other primaries. On top of that, you get a damage aura for slightly more AoE damage - a weak point for SM - which also provides a Taunt that doesn't need slotting to hold +2 mobs close to you.

Between WP and ElA is a hard choice to make, but I agree with Siolfir. The synergy between SM and ElA is undeniable, the +20% rech is great for SM. And slotting your Fault and Tremor with +rech procs will help recharge energize and Power Sink. Pretty much SM/ElA is a resist based version of my SM/EA.
I have a stone/fire that I have high hopes for in the long run. I figured the added fire damage would balance out the fact that you run into a lot of smashing resistance in the late game, plus much of it is AoE, which is not a strong-suit for stone/. He's only 20 now, so hasn't had a chance to let his fiery goodness bloom.
Ive been wanting to make a stone/ brute for some time now but Im not shure what to pare it with. So I was wondering for those who have played a Stone/ what would pair well with it or is/was alot of fun. Thanks in advance
