Just a quick note since this is a hot topic. Regarding the issue of Earth Thorn Casters stacking multiple Quicksands (and such).
Without getting into details, ALL CoT Thorn Casters have been reworked. The amount of control powers these minions have will be severely reduced or outright removed. Expect other related changes with all Thorn Casters.

This change will come in Expansion 5.

There is also another group in the game that behaves the same exact way as Thorn Casters, Knives. They throw multiple caltrops which have the same slowing/holding powers as quicksands. I think it would be a reasonable idea to consider them as well.

Furthermore, speed boost is a great power to overcome quicksand and caltrops, unfortunately you cannot apply speed boost on yourself and siphon speed does not grant this desireable effect either. Maybe this could also be looked at.

Ishtar, I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on reaching 50 since by the time I noticed it the post was already locked. I've followed your project from the beginning but never posted a comment -- I did send you a PM though. I just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS on going it alone...I think going solo for almost 90% of the time still counts.

I also have a grav/ken Lv 40 and soloed him probably 70% of the time. I'm selecting a different EPP than yours though, I going for the Psionic Mastery since most of the attacks after Lv 40 are psionic...just wanted to share that.

Again, congratulations on making 50 and my hat goes off to you.
