You sure you want Stone Prison and Quicksand only really shines in PvP.
Erm looks good kinetic side, just might want to move the 3rd rech from trasnference and replace with a 2nd acc. Nasty when it misses.
well, first off, i'll recommend putting 2acc slots in every power that needs two - holds, immob, disorients, etc.
I'd 6 slot Transfusion, throwing in another recharge.
Earthquake really doesn't need 3ToHit Debuffs - 1-2 are enough, since the base vaule ain't that high anyway, but can still work.
About Volcanic Gasses, you can remove the 3Holds. What happens is, basicly, you summon the power into a location, and, afaik, the hold enhancements increase the amount of time each tic stays on the targets, not the amount of time the gasses stay in position (60 seconds) - this time is unenhanceable. Therefor, casting Volcanic Gasses with Quicksand - works.
Also, throw in another recharge in Quicksand, and one recharge for the pet.

Basically agree with most already said.
You should probably go with Stone Cages instead of Stone Prison since you will be using Stalagmites a lot and its pretty damn annoying when all your fulcrum targets just dazes off in various directions.
Stone Prison is very handy for AVs/PvP/lowlvl dmg though (even if the damage is quite neglible).

[/ QUOTE ]Stone prison is for damage dealing, which will be needed at low levels. Quicksand is there to keep targets in place.

[/ QUOTE ]True, was planning on teaming with chars with tactics at that point but I guess 2nd ACC in that won't hurt.

[/ QUOTE ]Wasn't sure about the base value... Would some other enhancement work better there? DefDebuff maybe?

[/ QUOTE ]I know, however 3 hold enhancers will make the hold effect double stack, basicallly doubling the magnitude.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmmm... Planner stated that with hasten and one siphon quicksand would be around 15 sec recharge, with 45 sec duration... is that incorrect?

[/ QUOTE ]Yup, taking stone prison mainly for damage and AV's, and quicksand should be able to keep them in place...

Dude, when all the attacks has a very nicely stackable -DEF effect, the last thing you need is DefDebuff... Though I never needed it - Radiation Infection. Remember that Quicksand can be stacked, and it also has a very nice AoE -def. Quicksand and Earthquake goes together, mostly, so DefDebuff isn't really needed.

Well, all I know is that in PvP, once I trap a boss down, cast Volcanic gasses on him, and start spamming the holds (and you got Siphon Speed), it's just a matter of 10 seconds or so untill he is held. For groups though, there might be a use to it. If you see any difference, be my guess.

Wouldn't recommend recharges in quicksand unless for PvP...it's perma out of the box

I personally recommend you go with fire epic instead.
Purely for the stalgamites + stone cages + fulcrum + fireball wow factor. It's truly awesome.

There are times when you will want more than 1 down. I have it slotted 3 recharge 3 slow.
Just make sure you get atleast 2 acc in stalagmites and lose a duration. This power is the true PvE jewel in the earth set.

I have it on my earth/rad. Perma 1800ish hp from EA with all the accolades and a nice 800 heal every 2 minutes. Just leaves you without the big AoE damage.. but Hurl is still good for taking down the bosses.
Edit: Looking again.. I would lose fissure and pick up hurl at 41 and slot 3 damage in it. I would then pick up stone prison at 49 for the extra immob in PvP, having picked up stone cages where you picked stone prison.
This is because your lead power will end up being stalagmites, and you have no way of stopping them all wandering off after using it. I usually follow it up with Lingering rad which works a treat, but you will need an AoE immob to do this if you want to keep the mob tight. Although, you could get away with using quicksand, VG, or quake as the follow up, but they're not as effective... ramble ramble...
