SJ/Stone Brute

I have started thinking about a new SJ/Stone Brute to rival my stone tank in survivability and surpass him in the extreeme on damage. I know that the build will be expensive, but it is something to work for, just wondering if anyone had any other input that might help me out. I currently cap S/L resistance in Granite and have mitigated the damage debuff and speed debuffs (I think). I will still suffer some recharge debuff, but have gotten it to what I think will be manageable levels. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

OMG...just made one of these, a Street Justice/Stone, and left her standing in Mercy whilst I came to the forums to see if I have lost my mind.

I have never done a /Stone Brute or Tank before, so I thought pairing two powersets I have no experience with might be fun.

since there is someone else who not only has had the same idea but has posted a build, I will give it a go.

Onyx_Obelisk, I wish I could give you my thoughts on your numbers, but I am...not the person to talk numbers with...I do know the sets you have and they are good

So, Tally Ho on to to Mercy....I will keep a beady eye on this thread.

Well the build I posted is endgame. It isn't going to get you there. You will have to use the other armors thru lvl 32. Once you get granite you can respec out of the other armors. I have a stone/stone tank that is 50 and he is a beast for surviving. I have taken hits with him that literally drop other tanks in one shot and survived. I want to try to build something similar here, but with damage. I can say from experience if you never want to die, go with stone armor. It has some very deep debuffs against damage and recharge, but they can be dealt with. Find a Kinetic defender/corrupter/controller friend and life is even better. Good luck with the new toon and I hope you enjoy it as much as I plan on enjoying mine.

Since you said you are working for it over a period, I do not see the reason why you shouldn't cap S/L/F/C defense as well as S/L resists

Just made some changes I see that were needed.
Dropped Burnout (Nothing has a long enough recharge, or good enough use for this on a /Ston), and Tactics because you don't need it either.
Kind of sad to see you didn't take Mud Pots.. the endurance use can be managed, and hey it makes up for some -dam by dealing damage over time.
Personally, the -speed doesn't bother me. I can either teleport into the next spawn, or detoggle and run there and retoggle.

So now that some time has passed, how are all of your streetJustice/stone brutes working?

Any updates? I am considering one.
