So I just made this Character that I really like but as always I never know if I am getting the right Super Stats or Specializations.

This is the Build I've been using on the test server from my high lvl toon. I didn't really mess with the super stats or specializations.
I also am unsure if the energy unlock is the right one or should I go for Thermal Reverberation? I also went with Enrage w/ Endorphin Rush, and Fissure w/ Reconstruct for the healing.
As always comments and suggestions are welcome.
Thx in advance!
Comments
Concerning the heal: BCR is okay, but I'd prob make it Conviction, since the build isn't dodge-based and BCR has a 10% final dmg penalty.
I guess that R2 of Enrage is mostly just for ya to be larger out of combat w/ Giant Growth, cause otherwise you'd want to pass on ranking it. I would skip on using Fury of the Dragon; if ya wanted to use an ultimate here then I'd make that Unleashed Rage.
The build is lacking in a decent single-target attack for bosses and such. I'd prob make that Haymaker or Massacre if using Enrage (if sticking to Earth for the theme, that'd normally be Upheaval w/ Enrage, but Upheaval's dps is rather low). Ya also have some redundant AoE attacks that could be dropped to make room. Ya may want to consider Defiance (instead of Invuln) for the extra energy if using something like Haymaker or Massacre.

I don't think there's any anims in the game where ur toon just spins around once w/o kicking or sticking their arms out or anything. Inex Tides in MA is prob the closest thing to a 'tail whip' (which would also work w/ Enrage), but its prob a bit too acrobatic looking. It would be nice to have more ways of stacking Enrage here, regardless, but I guess Massacre suits that fine.

*(oh also if your using huge beast as a stance Inex Tides does look like a tail swipe)

Thanks again for any comments and hope this helps others in there builds.
Other main flaw here- Enrage scales w/ Strength, but you still didn't SS that here. The build would be less restrictive if you used FotTempest in MA (procs off any attack crit), though that means using Dex SS and skipping Enrage.
Here's how I'd prob approach the build, if it were to keep Enrage:

I have a few questions about some powers.
1. Does Tremor's Extra ranks do more damage? (The text when picking the power does note show this, not sure if it is fixed on the live server)
2. If Enrage scales with strength, can I just use it as a dump stat as I remember it having either a hard cap or soft cap?
3. Also do I have to many attacks? I could get rid of Bionic Shielding to get more points for challenge for tanking and get lighting reflexes. Also not sure if I need Inexorable Tides? maybe get a breakout power for holds?
4. I know I really like Con as the super stat and am wondering if ego would be better then int for damage? or does it all scale the same if i still have int.?
**I really want this toon to be rock like invulnerable and hard to damage (like the Thing from Fantastic 4)**
*I also really want to try to keep Quicksand since I really like it and don't use it on any other toon.*
Thx again in advance
If Enrage is your toggle, then you want to main stat Strength, regardless of the soft-cap (which is only for its innate melee dmg bonus- not the SS bonus or toggle bonus). It may also be tricky to afford Massacre spam w/o using Defiance, as its a bit costly. You could change to a FotT + Dex build too, and that will allow you to use a wider array of attacks, even if its crit-based. Then you could go more easy on the filler attack's energy w/ something like Shred + Warden Mastery.

For AoE, you can open w/ Flashfire, lunge in, and fill time w/ Quicksand while using Flashfire and Fissure on cd. The single-target rotation can be similar, except using Shred as the main filler attack instead of Quicksand. Its important to keep Flashfire up here for Clinging Flames, regardless. Gears mostly for Dex, w/ some Con and End.

Also for Shockwave, does the knock in that work with Enrage? (says if fully maintained)
