I thought Stoneflesh Aura prevented critical hits anyway?

Ya I made something very similar, cept I have kenetic and stone daggers like Kess said. Stone daggers for damage and to kill the dying nightmares. No recharge and 1 cast time, insta-kill. I also use glyph of concentration to prevent interupts, that means I cant use crystal wave, but thats ok, Sandstorm does a hell lot of damage.

So you're the guy who posted it. Thanks for that. And also, now I know how to use it in the underworld. The name came from "terra firma" if you want to know.

Wonder how it'd do in DoA...

This looks suspiciously like the Rihlon Refuge E/Me farmer. Why don't you change one of those skills out for arcane echo to make it absolutely like it?

Well excuse us....that build was posted on Dec 15th. This came out Nov 26th. I think its the Rihlon Refuge E/Me farmer that, "looks suspiciously like this build. Why dont you change Arcane echo for one of these skill to make it absolutly like it?

Why don't we learn about calendars and dates instead? If a build was posted in November, why are you insinuating that it copied something from the future? I didn't see any skills that make you go 88 MPH.

Anyway, nice build. I read little ideas about this being thrown around pre-Nightfall, but this is the first time I've actually seen it be put to use. Congrats.

Sorry I dont farm those, i dont know where they are, you can always add it yourself. if you dont have an acount or dont know how to, just tell me where they can be found. That goes to anyone else too, if you know areas to farm, add them.

dont have, nor do I know how
The kirins are outside maatu keep in cantha (pongmei valley exit) and the imps are outside of ice caves of sorrow in the southern shiverpeaks. Try the kirins in you have factions, they pay well.

I read the discussion page. Dang shame no one cares to think beyond mystic regen. (why bother, you dont get hurt and natural regen takes over). And sandstorm does plenty of damage. Besides, without Mantra of Earth, the energy engine and a good deal of dmg reduction is gone. Mind you, I have nothing against the E/D build, but comparing an anti-damage build to an anti-degen build is like comparing apples to oranges. Considering it needs no outside form of damage dealing, (ex. SS or famine) it does its job well.

With these, you can clear the first part pretty fast, and then flag them away and go for smites yourself.

I wish I can solo the attaxe, but they deal too much dmg without kinetic armor/stone dagger added to my skillset. Armor of earth is not enough. So do you mean that kinetic+armor of earth can significantly take down and even tank the aataxe dmg? I haven't gotten to try this thing out (just found it a while back) because of the christmas event, and even afterwards i'll have to farm some plats up for skills and the like. Great build Metal, the only source of dmg i could come up with myself with a stone striker geo tank was daggers and silver armor (same as earth renewal geo tank). Never thought of using an aoe to do the dmg such as Sandstorm. Crystal Wave is a nice finisher =]

Yeah, with kinetic, they hit for 0 most of the time. I got hit for 13 once, but that was a critical on a skill.

So which offers more defense? The stone striker combo or the good old fashioned (and rather annoying because you need to cast a spell every 8 sec or kinetic is dead) kinetic+armor of earth?
