Any help would be great please....

Thank you

Well from my own experience with a stone/DB tank, I was able to tank Lord Recluse in LRSF without a scratch just with Granite Armor+Rooted. If you really want to get everything out of your survivability, also go for fighting pool; Tough and Weave.

As for slotting I'd just go for as much Global Recharge as possible to max out your own damage as Electrical Melee has some capability for that even with Granite's Dmg and Rech debuff. I would 5-slot all Single target attacks with Crushing Impact for the +5% rech bonus and 6-slot Lightning rod and Thunderstrike with Obliteraion. Jacob's ladder can take 5 pieces of Positron's blast. You can leave out Dmg/range as it's not needed and you get a proc on top of that. As for resistive powers I'd probably 4-slot Granite armor with Reactive Armor, if you want everything out of it you can 6-slot it and put in the 2 last slots LoTG: Def and loTG: +rech. Defensive powers you can go with 4x LoTG with the +rech. The LoTGs are quite expensive though but you can get the +rech without spending any money by doing morality mishes. One LoTG:+rech costs 2 hero/villain merits so it takes 4 days to get one. You can also convert normal merits to hero/villain merits and get them like that, so you can get them much more frequent of course.

If you want your Stone Armor Tanker to be the toughest to kill, getting 90% resistances to all but psionic is a good start. Reaching 45% defense to go with that is fairly easy. I have posted my Stone Tanker build in the past but I will post it again. The key to making my build possible without being expensive is the Cardiac Alpha.

Some people don't like being slow all the time. Make a second build for the easier missions that focuses on the non-Granite toggles. After you are experienced at playing both builds, you will know when to switch.
