I know a lot of Stone tanks don't take Minerals, but it's *got* to be more useful than Team Teleport.

You missed that he's trying to run in Granite all the time. Minerals is mutually exclusive with Granite; you probably have to take and slot the non-granite armors to run with it.

That build looks like an anvil: low mobility, poor attacks, but monstrous durability vs everything (including 90% Toxic resistance). Cute, but I doubt I'd emulate it -- better to have a more conventionally playable build and toggle between Granite and "Other Armors" as needed than to try to hold aggro, move, and do damage with that build just to save myself the toggling.

Offense if your best defense

you 'can' make an elec/ tank with 32.5% defense to all 3 positions. then you've got end drains and energize to bolster that on top of the set's resistance, which you can cap s/l along with energy with proper investment.

toss in MA as a secondary with storm kick's +10% defense. . .

All this talk of Stoners made me go digging through my slushpile of build for BeefCakes mind-boggling Stone Speedster.

Feast yer eyes, and note: No Incarnates! Only the cardiac alpha.

I am still in awe of this monster.
