I run a Stone/Dark.. been at 42 or 48.. something in that range for a while... never solo'd anything cuz it was just too damn slow.. Just came back after about a 2yr break
My two stone brutes and one stone tank all have 95% run bonus from IO's which negates rooted's 90% penalty. So in rooted only they have no penalty, in granite only they still have extra speed, quite nice.
As for going tier 4 musculature for the extra run bonus, I don't think it would help much but I could be wrong. Currently all three have their tier 3 Cardiac installed to augment the resistance levels, even though they are S/L capped all other resistances get a nice boost, and of course with all their recovery bonuses and slotting plus Cardiac now they are pretty much energizer batteries, keeps going and going and going.....
In my Stone/Elec's exceedingly expensive i19 build runspeed caps out at a little over 23MPH with Granite and 20MPH with Rooted.
I could probably squeeze a little higher runspeed out of him, but I'd not want to negatively impact attack slotting, survivability numbers or drop "Darkest Night" from the APPs, and Lightning Rod being up every 40 seconds or so will tend to decrease his time between mobs a fair bit.
Any suggestions for a Stone/Dark out there?

Level 4: Ninja Run
I like this build.. but now Im trying to get one with either the Pyre or the Soul Epic Pools... I like the AoE in Pyre.. Fireball and melt armor.. and I like the debuffs in Soul... pluss.. its just more darkness.. goes with my secondary pool.. lol
I liked the Soul debuff Darkest Night too but i stay with focused accuracy for the +tohit bonus. It helps me with CCs and provoke in Apex and Tin mage content, or at least any lvl +4 TFs.
Okay. Room for improvement, but I tossed this together. Stone/Elec going for run speed while being defense capped.

In Granite 29.6, 16.7 when rooted
Outside Granite 39.6, 26.7 when rooted
Before I came across this build I never took a Stone tank past Granite. I just couldn't deal with the speed issues. I haven't had the chance to respec him with Inherent powers yet.

Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.
I tweaked my stone/elec build. Anyone have feedback?

Actually....if I got myself the Pack with Ninja Run, I'd be a tiny bit faster than Super Speed with that added to Sprint. That's nearly worth spending the cash.
