I have been working up this guy but I really have no idea how to even begin figuring out slotting him. I've been gone from the game since right before the whole IO set bonuses and everything. So I ask...PLEASE HELLLLLP!?

Welcome to the forums.

If you're not familiar with Mids, it's what is generally used for crafting builds. Grab it here: www.cohplanner.com

I also suggest you grab Titan Sentinel here: http://cit.cohtitan.com/sentinel/ The Sentinel program will pull your current build from the game, and can be used to import it into Mids.

In the Sentinel look for Utilities, Then find the Character Build Export. When you've done that: in Mids, Under the Import/Export menu, "Import from Forum Post". This will give you a fairly good look at what you're current build is bringing to the table. Don't be afraid to "muck around" with the views, etc. This will help you get familiarized with Mids.

You can then Export it out and drop it into this thread, showing us what you've got so far, even if it's SO/Hami-Os. Personally, I prefer Short Forum Export; Fruit Salad color scheme. Export Data Chunk as well as Data Link.

I would also suggest you read quite a few of the threads that are linked in this search: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/searc...rchid=35224427 This covers most of the recent discussions about Stone Tankers in general, including conversations about sets, and set bonuses. There's also some good, but old Stone Armor guides in the Tank Guide section. Still lots of information there.


Throwing darts at the board to see if something sticks.....

Come show your resolve and fight my brute!

As unhelpful as it is...and i HATE telling people to reroll but..reroll. Stone is just..so unfun. Not bad performing, your almost unkillable. But you are also basically unmoveable..no running, no jumping, -rech, - damage. That and energy melee is just woeful now. Worse on a tank, doubley worse paired with stone. All that -rech and long rech powers will mean you basically never kill anything.

IOs make a HUGE difference. You can basically pick any other tanker primary (assuming you want a tanker) and make it REALLY strong, almost as good as stone, without the drawbacks..have more fun (opinion) and not look like..poo.
