Title: Best Primary for Stone
Post by: Microcosm on December 29, 2014, 05:12:48 AM

Title says it. What is, in your opinion, the best primary for a /stone brute, in terms of damage? I'm not worried about the -damage from granite, because it's not super impactful to a brute, but the -recharge hurts a bunch. Thoughts on pairings for regular builds and money-is-no-object builds? Really wish claws was possible...

War mace, it fits the theme.

War mace goes with "strong and pretty", and granite ain't pretty  :P

Well, I dunno about power, but I loved Titan Weapons with Stone. But I firmly believe you shouldn't take any of the powers offered to you for granite.

Titan weapons crossed my mind as they would look good together. Is the -recharge a pain for it?

I think you should go broadsword and then you could be a magic creature known as the Stone of Excalibur. :)

This. So much this. Can you imagine the look on Arthur's face when he goes to get the sword  ;D

The stone pulls the sword out itself? Mind... blown.

If I could actually make an ice/stone, think I'd go with "The Abominable Snoulder"... Too bad granite had not customization.

People don't like stone fisting..?

Or the hammer?

Or the big hammer..?

Or double stone fist boo-a-Shakka?

Or hurl boulder?

I have stone as primary on my brute with wp 2nd.
