Not sure how the forum feels about it but other stone brutes think it's crazy to not have more armors running, but to be honest I don't need them! I decided to go the /regen scrapper route with this build and focus on maxing out my hp and hp regen. Keeping up your hp is the key to any build and what seperates the effectiveness of /regen (seemingly best for pvp build) scrappers from /dark (seemingly worst for pvp build).
Haste is the other key to the success I've had with this build in PVP. With it embrace earth is down no more than 15 seconds, rage stacks for 20 or so seconds, and I'm able to build fury faster by using a few lower powered punches while taking aggro and maintaining hp. After taking a short beating period fury is up 1/2 to 3/4, rage is ready to stack and usually within 5 attacks I can drop a tank (who usually like to go toe to toe with me.) Now I'm not saying that this build is going to beat anything out there, but it will give you the staying power to actually do something!
I decided not to get the armors in between because frankly with granite they are useless. Minerals is good for the plus perception since I spend 90% of my time out of granite mode running and tping around.
Self Heal is a great buff as well bec it adds to your already high disorient resistance and bec I lack any real defense to energy type attacks w/o granite on or the other armors, it keeps me in the fight.
Because of the immense amount of time I spend in Sirens and WB focused on pvp only with this character I've been in the mid-30's for like 2 months now. Once I get granite I plan on using it more as a aggro taker while I build fury, heal, or regenerate stamina. Then drop it and begin the pummeling without the -damage, recharge, and speed that are accompanied by it. This is totally different from the strategies I've seen used but from everything I've seen so far looks very successful on paper--I'll post how it works out.
