Talk:Stone Striker

Someone want to explain why this isn't elite but Stone Sheath is? Or is Anet TRYING to make the elite designations make no sense whatsoever? 149.169.109.183 19:25, 23 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Stone Sheath can be used to protect more than just yourself. --Theeth (talk)   19:32, 23 September 2006 (CDT)

I'd say this combines well with Storm's Embrace. 24.11.175.161 19:48, 24 September 2006 (CDT)
 * I'd say this combines well with storm seeker, mantra of earth, elemntal resistance, Dryder's defenses, all sorts of wards and other abuses that rely on no more physical damage being present. Solo players get a lot of love with nightfall it seems. RolandOfGilead 07:30, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Earth Armor, Stormchaser, a ranger won't need distortion now. Seriously though, with so many enchant removals around, I'm not too sure. --Silk Weaker 08:05, 25 September 2006 (CDT)
 * Being the PvE player I am, I was thinking more of solo farming, where you can choose whether or not you go against enchantment removal. Until now, the only way to remove all physical damage from the table was to use greater conflagration, which is elite of course. Also, it requires at least a little investment in wilderness survival and pre-determines at least your secondary class; also, WS skill are generally too weak at doing enough damage to efficiently solo an area. Apply Poison just isn't fun or fast. 16 Earth magic, Elite of your choice, and secondary of your choice, thats another story entirely. Think E/Me with mantra of earth for infinite energy goodness.

Look at this, then look at Stone Sheath. Now imagine that their names and elite status were swapped. I think that's what ANET meant to do, but screwed up royally. XD (Made almost the same exact comment for Stone Sheath btw) --Shadowleaf 08:35, 7 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I definitely agree. The names make way more sense switched around. Either way, this skill will be amazing with Mantra of Earth and/or Elemental Resistance. -- BrianG 23:50, 13 October 2006 (CDT)
 * I agree. Nonetheless, what is currently Stone Sheath is a good cover-hex.--Ender A 21:57, 18 October 2006 (CDT)

stone strike + sonteflesh aura + mantra of earth + ward against elements + armor of earth and waer geomancers armor u got uber pwnage ele

LOL, like a knight too small for his heavy armor. How is he supposed to fight! LOL 5 skills to protect yourself. Stoneflesh and Armor of earth is the line before overkill. It's like attacking a stone statue. Pure insanity! LMAO! Good skill though:) doobnoob

Holy moley - Rangers should be all over this
This is a one-man Greater Conflagration for rangers. Possibly even better than the spirit, since you don't have to worry about affecting other people. Woof. (for people not familiar with rangers - +30 vs Elemental damage. Greater Conflagration changes all physical damage to fire, which gives rangers an instant armor boost)
 * Mending Touch or Harrier's Grasp are too good to lose for a ranger >.< The extra ele armour wont make such a big differance, and rangers have Natural Stride to protect against weapom types &mdash; Skuld 17:38, 20 December 2006 (CST)
 * Hmm, The Winter discussion page points out that you can still get the conjure flame/lightning bonus from your weapon if you have a fiery/shocking upgrade, even if winter comes into play. Is this the same case with Stone Striker? Because I just want a Barrage/Conjure Flame(Frost,Lightning)/Storm Chaser/Stone Striker combo. Add an Armor of Earth/Ward Against Elements/Troll Unguent and a Favourable Winds for a little flatbow lovin' The only downside to this is the fact that you'd have to split your attribute points over 4 (or 5 with expertise) attribute classes, but who cares. Effective 150 Armor (at least), 3 energy received upon being hit even at moderate WS investment, and 25+ damage over 7 targets (which don't recognise it as AoE) every 2 seconds. Anyway, all this is dependant on Conjure X bonus though. Thoughts? (PS:Add Stoneflesh Aura somewhere in there to really make those mobs cry)

Holy Moley - Anywhere else to cap
Is there anywhere to cap this seems wierd not one boss in the games use it. Munny 02:26, 20 January 2007 (CST)
