Hard to say for me. I just plain don't like /stone >_>;, but my katana/WP brute on beta is really damn good. Katana will definitely give you more than enough offense.

i think it would be perfectly viable, divine avalanche would basically softcap you to smash/lethal with only 1 use once you have granite, and brute fury would take care of the dmg aspect

I'd probably aim for having a decent amount of +Runspeed bonuses in my build, once Def and Recharge are taken care of, but will the combo leave me with not enough offense on a Brute? |
Silly thought... No Granite?

If I could get him tough enough outside of Granite, I'd probably do that, maybe only having Granite for emergencies or really tough content. I probably wouldn't take the leadership pool, though.

If it were me, I'd intentionally leave out Granite. You could make a pretty solid and fairly high damage Katana/Stone if you left it out. It's not a common sight, which might just make me try it some day. I generally avoid Stone Armor because I don't want to play City of Statues.

Yeah, that's what's got me interested in it. It's a fairly odd combination that I don't think I'll ever see a lot of. I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to make a completely gimped pair somehow (not that I'm against that, I just like to know upfront).|

I started a build in Mid's, but man, I'm going to be starved for slots for most of my career. I figure I'll take both Sting of the Wasp and Gambler's Cut while leveling, but then drop one of them later in a respec, which should help a bit. But I'm still going to be very slot-starved.

Drop SotW, I'm pretty sure GC is part of the highest damage chain for Katana. Plus, if you wait long enough we will have 3 extra slots supposedly so that should help.
