Stone/StrJ Granite Form Build

[Zinnythezin]

I have made a Stone Armor/Street Justice Tanker out of nostalgia and was wondering if anyone had a build available to perma or near-perma Granite Form I could take advantage of. Street Justice is also negotiable, as my original Tanker back in Live was a Super Strength build.

What are you trying to perma for stone armor, hasten? Granite itself is a toggle so it will always be active as long as you have endurance and keep it toggled on. Homecoming has made several changes to stone armor compared to live, you may want to consider looking into running stone armor without granite as it is still insanely tough and doesn't have all the negatives associated with Granite (slow movement, damage debuff, recharge debuff).

 

Some of the really nice changes is that rooted no longer prevents you from using travel powers and has no slowed movement associated with it. You get status protection and can still use powers like super speed and super jump with it. With set bonuses, you can still relatively easily reach hard cap resists or close to it for s/l/n/e/f/c/t and soft cap defense to s/l/e/n/psi.

 

This is a build I have for stone/radiation without granite, but secondary can really be anything you want. I did prioritize survival over recharge so no perma hasten in the build, but you can see the stat totals and how sturdy it is even without granite. Mid's is bugged so it's not showing the bonus resist you get from SMoT proc, but you can easily keep up 2 stacks of SMoT and barrier destiny adds another permanent 5%, so add 18.4% resist to the totals of the build.

 

The biggest issue with stone armor that you're likely to face, especially if you go without granite, is endurance management. This thing runs a lot of toggles so a secondary that doesn't consume a lot of endurance or has a reliable form of endurance recovery would be beneficial. Rad melee is pretty endurance heavy, I just made it for theme purposes. Dark melee would actually be a nice pairing since it's not end heavy and has great endurance recovery in dark consumption and adds an additional heal with siphon life.

While I appreciate the build you've linked, I'm really just looking for a Granite Form and Perma-Hasten build for nostalgia purposes.

Understood. I made a stone armor tank for nostalgia purposes myself but I absolutely hated granite back on live and was happy I could run without. I have to go to work soon but I'll see if I can make a build later.

This is a very quick and dirty build aiming for perma hasten, it can probably be improved with more tinkering but I don't have more time right now to do so. I tried to get the recharge debuff resist to 100% and got close. You could take a slot from Weave and the 3rd slot from Hasten and add 2 more slots into something cross punch or boxing and do a 2 set none superior winter to get to 100%, but you'd then need ageless destiny to keep up perma hasten. Hope this helps.

You might try looking up a build called Proc Rocks on here, it is a Granite Super Strength build that uses Rage for accuracy allowing it to heavily proc it's attacks. Obviously it doesn't exemplar well below granite form.
