Spirit paths/Helm/Granitecrown

Granitecrown is one of two paths an Awakened helm can take toward Stone. A tactician's crown: recovery and ward with a late stone spike.

Infusion starts it at +4% Cooldown Recovery, and by Spirit Level 5 it reads +17% Cooldown Recovery, +197 Ward and +14% Stone Damage.

From Spirit Level 3 the gear starts firing Stone Skin on its own — Taking a hit grants +80 Armor for 6 s. — the same thing Stone Skin does from a relic.

Stone builds around Crumble and the Seismic payoff.
