Help with a Earth Build

sgtken60

I have been working on this on my own, but I am starting to get close to the harder missions. I am trying to stay in the Earth Power Group only, but this is a role playing.
I mainly Solo, and have not done to many Grabs, etc. yet with my two heroes yet. Here is the link of what I am thinking of going with.

The build could use a toggle/form atm, and I'd prob avoid taking any melee Earth attacks atm (like Onslaught) and just make it a full ranged dps build. I'd also pass on using Con PSS or Protector spec if it's not a proper Tank (dps passive, no Challenge advs, etc). Here's an example Earth dps build that also uses Hurl in Might (it should be a good fit for the theme):

I added Earthquake for a thematic ult, though if you don't have it unlocked then you can just put something else there.

Hurl can easily proc/roll MSA and can quickly put up Demolish, while charged Cave In is your main single-target attack here. You can use Stone Shot as a long-ranged attack and/or to put up Stagger in a small AoE, and Stagger also allows charged Cave In to stun targets. Tremor is your main AoE attack here, and it can also AoE CC; Fissure can be thrown in too, if you like. Gears mostly for Int, w/ some Con and Dex.
