Help with my companion / stone

grw0lf

hello everyone,

I'm new to posting on this forum, but I do read alot. It brought me to where I am now; very happy with my CW (Grimah's Renegade build), but struggeling on what to do now. I've put some random items into my stone to fill it up, but I'm uncertain on what to buy or grind for it. All my offensive enchants are 'Dark' for ArP, defensive are 'Radiant' for def. All rank 6's.
Items on my stone are :
2x Eldritch rank 6
1x Profane rank 6
And 3 lousy items I want to replace. But I'm not sure what to replace them for.

My stats without and with my stone :
20376 HP / 21.599 HP
3230 Power / 3526 Power
1575 Crit / 1879 Crit
1667 ArP / 2495 ArP
2670 Recovery / 2841 Recovery
1433 Defense / 1836 Defense

My main questions are :
How high should my HP be to be safe in T2.5's?
How high should my defense be before I begin stacking HP into the slots?
Is crit at 1800/1900 high enough, with me using Eye of the Storm?
Are my stats a bit in the right direction?
What items do you guys have on your stone?

If you need more info please tell me, and I will look 'm up and provide 'm.

Thanks alot in advance!

I have a 15k gs CW and here are my stats with HV set and stone and R7 enchants:

25k HP
1k Def
1k Regen
1k LifeSteal

5500 Power
2200 Crit
2000 ArPen
3500 Recov

End-game CW's seem to think ~3500 is a magic number for recovery, around ~33% for crit is good, arpen you should get to 20% or 22% (i honestly think its a waste of stats to get 24% because only some CW skills are affected by ArPen). After that rest into Power.

As for defensive stats, 1k Def and 1k Lifesteal is about the minimum i would get. I personally think Regen is a wasted stat but i get 1k from HV set and artifacts so it cant be helped. HP around ~24k seems good unless you go total glass cannon.

I think the HP is low, the crit is high, the defense is fine.

What's your lifesteal? did you take endless consumption?

Seeing as you don't have toughness, might want to look into a respec, as controlling action isn't that good.

I like this build, personally:
http://nwcalc.com/cw?b=iwv:27e5s0:1qeej0,13n3i03:100000:1z00uv:1uu000&h=0&p=ssm

There are some varriations (nightmare wizardry and/or crit power for bitter cold and/or transcendent master), but with recovery that low i would keep crit power - of course based upon your wisdom, playstyle, and whether or not you have the book of the dead.

my gear is different since i'm MoF spec and i have a relatively high GS (16.4) so and it's a bit tweaky.

Hope that points you in the right direction.
