Any ideas how to make this work folks. The Recharge is entirely too low with Granite running, it actually will hit negatives unless I also fire hasten... I have 5 LotG +Recharges in the build already... I don't really know where else to go on this one... I may have to write it off as not viable I suppose...

Well, you're not really telling us what you're going for here. Are you looking to softcap defenses and still have high recharge? Are you looking to increase running speed at all? Be good at groups or soloing? Without knowing more about what you actually want out of it, it's tough to help you improve the build.

Still, I'd say that you've got too many ST attacks. You should be able to drop one and still have a good ST attack chain at higher levels. This can also free up some slots, since you're underslotted for Acc.

Slotting Earth's Embrace for Aegis is probably a waste. Why not 5-slot it with Doctored Wounds instead? Likewise, slotting Mud Pots with nothing but Procs is probably not the most efficient way to go. Increasing Acc, EndRed, and Damage will probably give you more bang for your buck. And getting a set in there can help you with Defense or Recharge, too.

And can you run Combat Jumping and Rooted at the same time?

what I am wanting to do is maintain basic mobility, and still have a toon capable of surviving like a stone tank does. I would prefer not to have to have teleport, but if that is what happens, then I will deal.

The goal is survivability with a usable version of Street Justice as well. That means I need enough of the powers to keep my combo levels up.

I put the Fighting pool in more out of habit then anything, if it isn't needed it can be removed.

What I did when making this was try to modify my existing SJ 50, SJ/Inv to the new armor set for build purposes. As you can see what I came up with has WAY to low of recharge, only with hasten up is Granite Armor even playable, and even then the recharge might be too low for SJ

I need help making this work at all at this point... I love the design and concept of the toon, but can't seem to make this build work in mids.

As it stands I know next to nothing about Stone Armor... So I would like it if you could walk me through so I can learn...
Thanks for any help you can provide.

See what you think of this build. I made some changes to focus more on recharge and run speed, but made a few sacrifices on survivability. I still think you will be plenty tough enough though. Run speed with Granite is 21.4mph and s/l defense is 46.5%(f/c/e/n is 31%)
