I am approaching my Epic power pool and have posted my build so far with my proposed Epic Earth Mastery.

Are there any benefits to taking another Epic or maybe a nother pool like fitness for Tough and Weave ??

I have always thought I would go for Earth for Concept reasons but I am not so sure now. Any suggestions on slotting either pool powers or The Epics.

As always all comments appreciated

Happy New Year

I had earth for a bit, stone cages was good, -fly came in useful quite often, think I had that with 2 acc and 3 immobilize.

fossilize was nice to, that was 2 acc, 3 hold, 1 recharge. I think with 2 applications of this you can normally hold even bosses handy for sappers and the like too.

edit: if spare slots is an issue i would put them in fossilize in preferance to stone cages

How do Epics work? I've never gotten that high, are they worth taking as I'd not worked them into my build in anyway.

you can pick the powers at 41 for all AT's other than the the khelidans. each AT has their own set of epics, so tankers will be different to controllers etc.

The chocies

Definatly worth checking out.

To give you a little more to think about. I think I have 2 acc, 3 hold and 1 recharge in fosillize. The damage is fairly low and I much prefer using it to take something nasty out of the fight. I can stack it with the hold on Seismic Smash to hold bosses (and occasionally AVs) for a little while.

I usually hit someone with stone prison first as it lowers defence (not sure by how much) and seems to help make sure fossilize doesn't miss straight after.

Tried stalagmites for the disorientate but wasn't impressed so dropped it. Good for getting aggro I guess.
