Earth/Kin Build, Open to Suggestions

Perma Hasten, Soft Cap on Smashing/Lethal and Ranged Def... Anything I am overlooking?
I focused mainly on getting to the soft cap for smashing/lethal and from there i got to the ranged soft cap.

I would say, "Yes, there is something you are overlooking."

Namely, two of your important control powers, Quicksand and Earthquake. Yeah, its nice to have softcapped defenses and all, but you are a controller, not a scrapper. Earth has three main AoE controls, and you skipped one of them, Earthquake. And Quicksand provides a kind of back-up control for all three of the AoE controls and can be very useful on its own. Plus, Quicksand provides a huge 25% autohit Defense Debuff. OK if you want to skip Stone Prison and Salt Crystals, but Quicksand and Earthquake should not be skipped.

You might want to take a look at my Earth/Rad guide, linked in my sig, to see the value of those two powers.

In all fairness, I have to say that I feel that Controllers need to control first and only work on defense when they can do their main job. Some folks feel that Defense is "all that," and being able to actually do stuff like control is less important.

I agree with Local's sentiments that Earthquake is a very handy tool in an Earth troller's kit. Same with Quicksand, and further, I think ID is a power you're very glad to have when you need it. Assault stands out as something to be replaced with Earthquake, even with just the 1 slot, or even Quicksand if you don't want to reorder power selection. Given that, I'm going to focus on revising the build posted, keeping the OP's stated goals in mind...

I think you're going to not enjoy the +kb proc in Stupefy, especially since you have it in 2 aoes.

I'd move the ATO into Stalagmites and use the usual 4 Basilisks Gaze + 2 purple procs in Fossilize. I assume this is a "money is no object" build, so let's put Ragnarok in Fissure. Now to get back the ranged def - use Lockdown in Volcanic Gasses and Mako's in Seismic Smash. Boom - 46.3% ranged def. I stole a slot from Earth's Embrace, which I didn't think was catastrophic given that it's still perma and puts you over the HP cap.

Some changes I'd consider, but didn't incorporate in the below build, I'd probably go for the +regen and +hp bonuses in LOTG rather than splitting up your defense powers with an LOTG and GotA. I say this because I don't think the recovery bonus is all that critical when Transference is up every 8 seconds. Maybe 2 LOTG + Cytoskeleton, since the +HP 3rd bonus is wasted when you're at the HP cap.

So the build below has the same powers, though I did swap out Assault for Quicksand (EQ wasn't available at that level), with the modifications discussed:

Seems pretty good only thing i am wondering about is what to put in earthquake i was thinking a overwhelming force that changes it from knockback to knockdown but wasnt sure

Quicksand gets no benefit whatsoever from Accuracy or Damage. The Slow only affects movement speed. I understand you are going for the 2 IO bonus, but I would just throw a Recharge in Quicksand and that's it. That frees up a slot for somewhere else. If you really want more recovery, put that slot in Health for a Miracle proc.

Speed Boost only needs a single EndMod. I'd move a couple of slots to Transference to 6 slot that, then you will have some more free slots. You might even have spare slots for putting damage procs in a few places.
