Stone, with its massive +60% Faster Hit Recovery, can singlehandedly cut most characters' hit recovery frames nearly in half. That said, FHR needs can often be addressed by some combination of
Spirit and Charms of Balance.
Stone has a remarkably high Enhanced Defense value for an armor of its level requirement. However, a
Prudence placed in an ethereal base will provide a comparable Defense value.
Smoke is a more effective (and less expensive) solution for shoring up subpar resistances, while
Duress will provide comparable defensive benefits alongside significant offensive benefits for weapon-based characters.
