Dark/Earth looking for second build ideas

[MunkiLord]

I love my Dark/Earth Dom, she's a blast to play. Current build is fun and I'm not looking to change it at all. Wanting a second(or maybe even a third) build to specialize in some sort of way. Farming a specific enemy type, AV soloing, better pylon times, or any other ideas.

 

Current build is soft capped to S/L/E with Ranged at 34%, perma hasten and domination. It's posted below.

 

Any ideas or specific suggestions on a new build to specialize in something? Influence isn't an issue and I'm willing to acquire any Incarnate abilities I don't already have.

[Coyote]

Put the Acc/Dam/End/Rech IO into Mud Pots to lower its End cost.

 

I would try to put some slots into Poisonous Ray... it can actually hit hard since it takes 3 damage procs.

 

I would put the Cloud Senses set into Fearsome Stare, and the ATO set into Living Shadows... you lose a bit of set bonuses but I think they can be spared, and you get more Ranged Defense and better proc usage out of those powers. But it requires finding a 6th slot for Living Shadows. However, I think in the long run I'd drop some slots that are used to chase Recharge, put a Force Feedback into Hurl Boulder and one into Heavy Mallet, and use those to make up for the lost Recharge bonus. For example, if you do this, then Weave is an obvious sacrificial victim: you lose 5% Recharge, but a single activation of FF per minute more than makes up for that, and you can get multiple activations depending on how often you use those powers.

I like these ideas! I'm looking at these suggestions and moving some things around. This may or may not impact your suggestions, but I rarely use Living Shadows, it's there purely for the set bonuses and because I had to take a power. So I'm not opposed to taking slots from it if they can be used better elsewhere.
