I personally LOVE Binlor. I prep him on all maps with a lot of resist down, especially if there are frozen Trolls. By level 1, everything having -50% resists is miraculous. The problem is his other boons are underused.

I agree. I only really used it for rogue gold and when Naga City had Bleaty.

Truth be told, Stone Heart isn't something I always focus on, but I've been hacking my way through with a lot of merry RBS-swinging warriors recently. And if I'm a monk and somehow haven't found the Might glyph, Stone Form is a lovely little gem for protracted combat encounters that *aren't* on the same screen as Binlor, as is the case in 3 out of 4 vicious dungeons (Naga City being a deliberate reversal of this rule).*

But most of all ... well, damn, the way things work now, Stone Form and Stone Fist are just so poetic in action together.

* By the way, Namtar's going to undergo a post-Curse revision that will affect his power above AND below -- players shall truly know how it feels to be cut off from the gods (muaha, etc), and I actually want to balance things so that you weaken at a rate more comparable to Namtar's own. I don't think many modern characters fear his last few incarnations once they've gotten past the earlier doozies.

Hmm... Actually, Namtar is one of the few bosses I respect. With a mere 7 classes and 7 badges (Need Miser, Faithless, and Purist), he actually challenges me.

I really like Stone Form myself. Combine it with Stone Fist and you have a permanent +30% damage. It's a great choice if you don't need a ton of magic resistance or a ton of resistance penetration.

Yeah, forms one, two, and three are definitely the hardest. Still, keep the last form how it is.
