I cranked out this guy a bit over 2xp weekend. I think I will sub out Hoarfrost (make it lvl 49 with 1 slot Health/Recharge) and instead put Frozen Armor in, along with Tough/Weave and Kinetic Combats to softcap S/L. Might be better for melee range survival.
Anyone have any other tips?
Will post an updated build later.
Here's the updated build. I don't love the 4 KC's in Smite - they hurt its recharge too much, and take away the proccy goodness. Open to ideas on how to maintain softcap S/L without sacrificing much else.
Took the two damage procs out of Fossilize -- figured I had enough ST damage with the attacks. One went into CJ to reach softcap. Other slotted the KD IO into Sleet - anyone tried that?

This is more or less what I would do if I were in your position. I might would make a few minor changes if I were actually spending the inf on it. You'll notice we build way differently. >.>

Code:
Actually, that's not entirely true. If I were actually building it, I would have skipped Smite in place of keeping Salt Crystals, 5-slotted the purple set, and put Crushing Impact's in MG, which would put you at 0.1s short of perma-Hasten. Which, if you pick an Alpha with a Recharge component... (We'll say Agility Partial Core, for the sake of this post), puts you at 0.74s short of permanent Volcanic Gasses.| Copy & Paste this data into Mids' Hero Designer to view the build | |-------------------------------------------------------------------| |MxDz;1448;662;1324;HEX;| |78DA65945B4F13611086BF6DB7424BB19402055A0AB485D2961688265E1AC349A04| |514F1966CA08155A44D5B13BDF42FE8051E7E8017267A6582A70B7F108A60D4E0A1| |4EF77D6989BBE9E6E937F3BD33F3CDEC6EFEFE8CF7D5FCC3CB4AF34DEF1895CAFA4| |CF1AEB96B548B6557DED8323754FD6A917BB0E1589F2EEE56CBC59DECAC51AE6E9F| |AE224DFF954AC5B8B753CDCE18E53BA70BD5BE5214C99CB9B55D3577B73CD66AB55| |4286CFAACBFB982B1592857B6CD92F7745D927DFDB3257323BBB05158CF1B956AA1| |FCA0595FAF14352277BF53F1AAB9D4BE2CA674E5780BB6BE033BDE931FC0AE8FE05| |1B0A1959F5CEA582C1AA369394154A2E5C1D665B0EB1AD8632A2B4ACF6D3024419D| |D43AAF3B2C9B7E03F4AC82BD37C93530B20FED37C9EBA2D6B52748E8EADC13F229D| |8FF8C7C0E465E401B766244F553B458A7D064E9A6C56D5922B2A78DF1DB1691DBBB| |44E6584B1E1C5A26599B53A2B55B4DA939DAB39A653B9F2233E077A9DFC78CBE347| |4BAE8FCD4F9BBB1AFB3830C803F4417605D815FCCFB1B4CFC0127FE82533552617A| |5189DF8DF85AB795D3AD1264A7F882F0A9E030EA1912591F73F5CD2256780E1C9E2| |7AF920B60EC04FC297586A80D713E61CE27C6F9C4389F38E7138FA316BFD432C03E| |0CB00F71F661947D1896DA06115F1F3C44CED1AFE411FB71CCF31FE03CBD7E790CA| |171443F892FA0ABE44BF8C65F832741BC25F5BA4712D0A7C6C8249902C7D3249FEB| |90C41F63DD63AC3BC3BA33F5E60E480F644F1AF19D69E6CE30F7C41BF212E6D5277| |BB37C46B271BE3BD29B49CE699239C2FAFF6F65B469A9A56CDE499B65CA66B960B3| |5CB4597236CB8ADEF81A28CDB2B83B1AEF78EDC0235EEDACF74BD3E2D06EE1349E3| |530B9A8594FC5679BEAF0ACEA11BF1B8FC1E41EF80FAB29F1EA| |-------------------------------------------------------------------|
I love Earth Control.
yeh, thanks. Not sure I totally grok all your choices. I might see the Decimation slotting in Life Drain as worth it to pick up some recharge (or Apoc), good idea.
Isn't intuition a pretty good alpha choice for an Earth dom?
I'm not in love with Spring Attack but I wanted a 1-2 punch for eating spawns after their controlled -- Engulfing, Spring, Engulfing (1-2-3).
It's not visible in MIDS that Sleet is worth slotting for damage?
Here's the final build. Switched a bunch of things around, largely for more recharge. St attack chain of Smite-MG-Smite-Gloom
Find it less survivable and doing less damage than my plant/fire. Kind of disapointed.

I've been trying to come up with an Earth dom for a while.
Here is a build in progress. Open to suggestions. Abandoned trying to softcap and instead went for a few core control powers and decent melee / pbaoe.
Left some powers open and open slots.
I suppose there's an attack chain in there between MG - Smite - Gloom - SL and perhaps Dominate (for ST). Key was trying to get the footstomp clone (Engulfing Darkness) up reasonably quick.
