Slotting Animate Stone

I have an Earth/Time troller (level 37) and I was wondering how best to slot Stoney aside from getting the 2 +res uniques for him. Does endredux work to reduce the endcosts of his attacks? Will that apply with acc/dmg/end IOs, too?

You have a few options depending upon what you want for bonuses. If you have room for a 6.25% Recharge, then I suggest 4 Expediant Reinforcement, including the 10% Resist proc, the Sovereign Right 10% Resist proc and then you have a few options for that last slot . . . an Acc/Dam Hami-O will cap damage and give better Acc. However, you could go with an Acc/Dam/End from Blood Mandate.

Or you could go with 4 purple Soulbound and the two procs if you want Regen and a 4% damage bonus.

Personally, I don't worry about Rocky's endurance. He's more important as a tank. I've never tested whether EndRdx slotted in the power affects his attacks.

From what I understand, most pets benefit from Endrdx, but most controller pets endurance management is at least passable. Only MM pets usually have end issues as they have a lot more attacks, and gain more over time.

Thanks guys. I think I will go with 4 Expedient, the sovereign unique and im pretty sure I have a Nucleus lying around. I was just curious for the endredux. I'll try it out and see what happens

I just slot 3 damage inventions and let him do his thing. I agree he needs to tank but that he also hits harder than anything else I have as an earth/storm.

I've been meaning to reply to this thread. I haven't gotten stoney fully slotted just yet, but a little endredux does, indeed, seem to be working as I take him from spawn to spawn. Against hard targets, too, he doesn't bottom out nearly as fast as he was.

I'm pretty sure i used 4 or 5 expendients plus the +Bu proc. This allows stoney to have decent damage/acc/end reduct, and pretty nice burst damage when the BU proc goes off.

Turns him into a pretty nice beast on my earth/rad. I debuff things down, keep them in the quicksand, and stoney wrecks some faces for me. Its all very beautiful.
