Funny enough , I have BW 78 on my GF and if I rolled a Stone Skin , I ' d consider replacing it . I think you ' re mostly right about it being geared towards higherend players , but if you think about the places GF really shines it makes sense on him . GW Hands down , SS is the best talent for him . # 1 , it makes him harder to kill with snipers and if he ' s the last one left alive he can wipe a whole team . It also synergizes well with his proc any type of healing effect is magnified with SS HBM SS also a great talent here . Not sure if you ' ve done AF yet , but having defensive talents is huge here since a lot of waves have autoproc heroes and multiple Demos . You ' re going to need to survive a LOT in order to beat it . You don ' t need scatter on anyone with him in the lineup HT SS also very good here for same reasons as HBMIn other game modes , BW and SS are probably about equal . The extra 60 % dmg most of the time is hardly worth giving up the extra 90 % effective HP . Especially at higher levels , heroes like GF whose proc is important are much more about keeping them alive rather than dealing massive dmg
