Dusting off of the old stoner.

Hello, all.

Long time no see on this forum. x)

To start off the topic, let me give you a bit of the background information.

I`ve had this stoner since... I do not even remember now, but it has been shelved about a few months more than two years.

This is still my loyal stone/stone, which never disappointed me as far/long as I remember. x)

It only had SO`s and never had any IO`s slotted, so I wonder what kind of build would this one need for tanking in various types of TF/SF`s, since there are many, it seems, going on.

Thanks, in advance!

P.S: Budget would be... well, I really do not care how expensive the build is, since people will eventually be able to accomplish the build, anyway, but it would be nicer to make it cheaper than the most expensive stone/stone build. xP

There have been a lot of Stone Armor threads lately. I'm sure if you search, you will find a build that I posted that achieves 90% resistance to all but psionic. It does that through the Cardiac Tier 4 Alpha boost, so it isn't very expensive.

First off, do yourself a favor. Use your alt builds.

Make your primary build Stone Armor with Rock Armor for a mule/fallback (mostly as a mule).

Get yourself softcapped to all typed (save psi), and then work on boosting your recharge and travel speed.

At that point you can simply set an attack on auto and walk away. When you come back the enemy will be dead.

Use a second build as your alt-armors build.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

Thanks for the tips.

Just finished planning out for mine based on Syntax42`s build, using your tips. x)

Is this a post-ED build? If so, you don't need to respec.
