Description

Stone, with its enormous +60% Faster Hit Recovery, can singlehandedly cut most characters' hit recovery frames nearly in half.

Key details

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.
Still, a Prudence placed in an ethereal base will grant a comparable Defense value.
Smoke is a more effective (and less costly) solution for shoring up subpar resistances, while Duress will grant comparable defensive benefits together with significant offensive benefits for weapon-based characters.

D2Emu Tips

Constructing this runeword in an ethereal bugged (legacy D2 only) Sacred Armor can produce a massive amount of defense exceeding 5k.
Related skills: - Molten Boulder - Clay Golem.
Stone is not a bad armor.
It shines early in the ladder, when 4-socket ethereal Cryptic Axes are not available for cheap.
If you can't afford a Eth Fortitude for your mercenary, then this is a viable choice till then.
Stone is particularly well suited for an Enchantress.
