Taking a stab at a Stone Broot

I'm going for a relatively cheap build (no purples), and survivability. I'm willing to take any advice, as I'm sure this is probably pretty well flubbed.

I am not married to the idea of dark melee, I just like all the utility of it.
I plan on running in Granite, so this is a 'final' build, not a leveling build.

At first glance I'm not seeing much in the way of run speed boost in there. It's pretty necessary to avoid falling asleep, trust me.

ETA: I recognize that you took teleport, but man, teleporting to move 10 feet to click a glowie gets old too.

I'll be honest, I've never attempted Stone before for pretty much the issues you just listed. I may have to dig around the boards for speedier build I guess.

Thanks for the reply.

Nix CJ at the end and take another travel power for non combat travelling (I took SS), must have imo for stoners... makes getting those glowies less painful... or some other power if you need the LOTG recharge... I'm not familiar with DM to suggest any of those.

Also, take kick instead of punch and put a force feedback +rchg in it. 100% rchg for 5 secs is a nice throw away slot.

I've got a stone/TW tanker I've been working on, the build itself is kinda trash right now and needs to be reworked, but overall I feel like I did a good job of finding room for speed boosts without sacrificing other stuff. Two of my 5% run speed wont work for you since they're in Energy Mastery powers, but maybe it'll be a useful example of where to find the run speed bonuses. There's a speed guide for Stone linked in either the Brute or Tanker forum as well.

I just built a SS/Stone brute and there's a thread probably on this page still that has the build in it...I tweaked it some, but it's very close to what I ended up with...

For DM you want your attack chain to be Smite->MG->Smite->Siphon Life

Hit Soul Drain as it comes back (I like to slot it with an attack set...like armageddon) and you can use Dark Consumption as a second AoE attack or for end recovery depending on build needs...(I prefer 5-6 slots of oblit or 5 slots of oblit +1 L50 end mod IO)
