Stone armor for sentinels?

[Greycat]

Quick request for Stone Armor for sentinels.

 

I'd love to remake Rock Yew as archery/stone. >.> (Currently earth/ta.)

It wasn't until just now that I realized Sentinels don't have Stone Armor. I would support this 100%. Seeing a big Granite boulder shooting projectiles from a distance would be too cool.

I also want stone armor for Stalkers while we're at it.

Would need to have a version of Earth Assault added in as well then.

While I'd love to play this, I assumed it was considered unbalanced since the range of Sentinel would help cancel the slow speed of Granite, giving you the advantages without the drawbacks.  You'd basically be a heavy turret.

It would be changed.  Look at Ice Armor at  as the last pick..  for Tanks it's Hibernate.  Sentinels get Icey Bastion, basically a T9 defense click that is what a tank should have

Flip side being sents have shorter range, so...

With the upcoming Stone Throw/Rock Blast/whatever-it's-going-to-be-called Set that one of the Devs teased earlier this year, sounds like an appropriate time to get Stone Armour proliferated to Sentinels (and yes, Stalkers too).

 

Actually, here's an idea . . . replace the Tier 9 with a Auto Power which creates synergy bonuses in the other Armour Toggles of the Set.  You know, if Granite is seen as inappropriate for Sentinels/Stalkers for any reason.

An idea came to mind immediately after posting.

I admit it... I grinned at the idea of Assassin's Rock.

No! If I can't have a Granite Stalker I don't want any stone armor for them!

 

I really hope Sents/Stalkers get it soon, I've started to enjoy stalkers and Stone Armor is one of my favorite sets, it might even get me to enjoy Sentinels.
