Ioun Stone Slotting Suggestions

counterintel

I've decided I'm going to buy an Ioun stone, but I want to be sure I can also afford the supporting runestones to go with, but am unsure of how the different 'special' runestones interact, and Ive only seen a bit of info after searching the forums.

Do the indomitibibibibibblele runestones that add +X% dmg over time to attacks do anything for the owner? A poster in a thread I read claimed its supposed to transfer that bonus to the owner and any other behavior would be a bug but I would assume that would be one well discussed, or at least mentioned, topic if so.

I've read the +X% to pet stats runestones have no effect, that seems solid, but can anyone confirm?

Does the bonus to pet stats from charisma have any effect on the ioun stone?

AAAAAaaaaand finally, assuming the previous answers are "No effect, no effect, and doesnt matter" I would assume that you just cram whatever stats YOU want into those slots, and be done.

Feedback appreciated but not required.

It would be required if I had the ability to enforce it.

Thank you. =D

I'm certainly going by "cram whatever stats YOU want into those slots", as the stone is entirely passive, and just a little flying buff. I wouldn't trust the game design enough to assume that it'd do anything sensible with the the indomitibibibibibblele ones (and not just randomly break it in an expensive way in a patch, intentionally or not), given how many other things just plain don't work around here

-Indomitable Rune: It states to give your pet additional damage over time, this does nothing if you equip it to your ioun stone since the ioun stone is passive, and this effect won't be applied to the owner.

-Eldritch Runestone: +% stats works on the ioun stone but it isn't shown in "Stats and Effects"

-Charisma: Increasing the ioun stones base stats will also increase your stats

The ioun stone levels up and gains additional base stats: for example without charisma my stone has 8 base statpoints while with 21 Cha it has 12 base statpoints. You will gain them and with the eldritch runestone you will get % of the base and % of the gear.

Example:

Ioun Stone of Allure Level 1:

12 Recovery
12 Power
12 Critical

it has an Arcane Runestone +120 Recovery and an Eldritch Runestone for 5% and an item with 250 armorpen

You will gain:

+132 Recovery
+12 Power
+12 Critical
+250 Armorpen

Additional you will gain 5% due to Eldritch:

+7 Recovery
+1 Power
+1 Critical
+12 ArmorPen

Total:

+139 Recovery
+13 Power
+13 Critical
+263 Armorpen



My suggestions: Armor-Pen is a nice which you can't get through gear because of main stats power recovery and crit

Offense Slot: Armor Pen, Armoer Pen, Defense Slot: % Stats
Items: What you need most + Armor Pen Enchntments.

The ioun stone balances the stat you are lacking the most, that's my suggestion.

greetings.
