i actually think it's better for a slayer.. marksmanship over onslaught.. less damage but it pierces.. and you won't benefit from runeword:explode and burn much anyway because the weapon forces you to a str + dex build.. scatter shot might be better for a str + dex build.. no sacred rage but you'll have enough damage from battle standard, study prey, art of the hunt, and call of the hunt.. no menhir wall but you'll have monster lure.. might go well with tracker's hood.. then either SBC or sentinel's armbandsunless if you want to build it int + dex berserker but then that high percent physical damage would be wastedand the DA stacking: 128 + 125 + ultimate max wood lore
I'm running a stonespeaker as well, so I'd like to throw in some opinion on the skills:-Aftershock is pretty important because it's the only -res skill that you have. Having it can dramatically increase killing speed of bosses.-Eruption is a good spell to have too. You can toss it in the middle of some archer mobs to kill them while you dodge or focus on something else, and using it against bosses increase killing speed too. Don't use it on golden boar or mobs with reflection though.-Wildfire and Inner Fire aren't that useful. The main function of Corey is to tank, not do damage. There's HP Regenertion and -OA but even without them Corey can tank long enough that you can just resummon if its HP gets low.-Energy Drain doesn't really need more than 1 point. -OA and slow are nice but they aren't that vital, and this build doesn't use a lot of MP.-I've never actually used Menhir/Guardian Stone so I can't comment on how good or bad they are, but it didn't seem to me like I'd need another distraction when Corey does its job already.I'd say that These[url] are the core skills of the build, and level 68 should be fairly reasonable.
Against Kalygoths and Blightcasters, I'd recommend a single point in Stone Form (probably one in Molten Rock, too). If you notice that you got hit, just activate it immediately, it prevents all the poison damage from then on, even if you got hit beforehand. It lasts long enough that you survive, and then you can retaliate after Stone Form ends!
