Earth/Poison Feedback

[Wimbochismo]

Hi guys! My earth/poison is starting to get into the 40's and I whipped together a build. I'm currently in the refining stages before I start implementing it.

 

Some considerations: I mainly team up on my characters. I don't have a farmer/don't usually play the market, so I try to limit myself to 1-2 purple sets to be as self sufficient with inf as possible. 

 

With this build I tried push the recharge/accuracy. I know that venomous gas is susceptible to de-toggling so I went rune of protection and clarion. I got recovery as high as I could to counteract the toggles, but a lot of these powers are very end heavy. Finally, I shoved a proc almost everywhere. *wipes sweat*

 

So, questions: 

 

My S/L defense is at 39%, but I figured that with VG's -hit I should be solid in melee, is this feasible?

 

I was thinking about dropping clarion destiny and picking up ageless to help with the end situation and smooth out recharge. Then pick up melee hybrid so I can alternate melee/rune for the status protection. Thoughts?

 

Any other considerations for the slotting itself? I could take a Superior Will enhancement out of stone cages and move the slot elsewhere for more recharge or something, but I give up some ranged defense. Switch out Earthquake for Weaken?

 

This is only my 3rd or so official build, so any feedback is welcome.

[Uun]

• Don't skip Weaken. It's a huge -tohit, -dmg, -special. I would add at least 3 slots, although 6 slotting with Cloud Senses gets you good bonuses.
• Add slots to Envenom. It takes a bunch of procs, or 6 slot with Shield Breaker.
• You've got too many slots devoted to Stealth and Weave. Move slots from there to Weaken and Envenom.
• Stone Cages doesn't need more than 2-3 slots. I would move SWotC to Stalagmites. You'll give up some proc damage but add a lot of control.
• Switch the Decimation proc in Arcane Bolt to the Dmg/Rech. The proc is 1 PPM and almost never goes off.
• Slot Volcanic Gasses for hold, not damage. Best AoE hold in the game.
• Drop Infiltration and switch Spirit Ward for Mystic Flight (this will give you the power pick for Weaken).
• Drop Vigor for Musculature or Intuition Radial.
