ThrillMill Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Just finished a marathon 14 hour session to 50 > Fully Io'd > Incarnated SM/Sa/Body Stalker... I've never dedicated so much time or effort in a single sitting before. Stone Melee is as advertised. Anyone that's played Stone Melee on other ATs is sure to enjoy this iteration I'd think. AS, of course, creates a massive spike in ST-DPS (which stone was already proficient in). Fabulous. Stone Armor was a revelation once kitted out. Superb durability and sustain on this Set. I wasn't sure I was going to like Geode but it's decent and has its uses. Brimstone's damage proc CAN crit for us. Really nice. Overall, I give it 8.7 on a scale of 10, Great work by our Dev team on this one. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koda651 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 (edited) I started a StJ/StA Stalker a few days ago. He's up to 30 now. What are the numbers like on your Brimstone procs at 50? Aside from crits, I assume they don't scale with anything else, like enhancements or buffs; I'm just curious about the raw damage numbers. [Edit: Got to 50, and while the Brimstone ticks aren't huge, they add up to a non-trivial boost in dps, if only for how reliably they proc. It's like having a damage aura toggle on my fist.] Edited December 6, 2021 by Koda651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to soft cap to s/l/e/f/c. It's also got +HP, exotic status resists and near 530% regen. Really tough to bring down. Brimestone Armor Proc was an unexpected delight. Doesn't have the gaudy DDR that SR has or Nrg's endurance management tools... It is rather tanky. It's my personal fav currently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koda651 Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 Got my StJ/StA to 50 and kitted out this weekend. No incarnate powers yet beyond T1 Musculature, and I have to say this is my favorite Stalker armor yet — possibly even slightly more than EnA. Endurance management without Energize takes getting used to, but it only even becomes noticeable when wailing on a single hard target for over a minute straight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stone/stone is about to hit 50 and I’d love some direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to share your build? Everything in Stone Armor, other than Geode, is a must have. Geode is a great mule for preventive medicine and is a nice pseudo-hibernate in certain situations, but odds are you'll 6 slot Earth's Embrace with it so it's not really needed. Stone Melee, you will maybe skip Fault and Hurl Boulder. You could skip your choice of the T1 or T2, but both are fine to keep. Your must haves are Assassin's Smash and Seismic Mallet. Tremor is a large AoE for a stalker, so I'd recommend taking it for its ok damage, good mitigation, and a great vehicle for your Chance to Recharge Build Up proc to fire from.
