Bottom line, Plant used to be fun but just a middle of the road set compared to others power-wise. Now, it's neither. Kind of feels like the high end builds on 4-star TFs are ruining things for the average joes. Not all data mining is good data mining. 😞

Oh yeah, I understand. I just don't need a bodyguard to protect me from toddlers. With the aggro limit, trash mobs aren't any threat. It's fine as a fringe choice, but definitely not integral to the build. It would probably replace Assault, which is also hardly vital. Given that this toon has never died, I'd rather my teams do a little more damage. I gave it a try on your advice, my experience is that it's just not needed.

Fair. I just wish they could tamp down on the abuse without punishing more casual users.

A few notes, now that I've fully incarnated. The build below is just flat out uber. Given that I have yet to faceplant even once, Soul Transfer is completely unnecessary. Esp after Barrier, it's not even useful as an emergency buff. The layering of max Resist, high end Heal plus Regen, and Defenses that can easily cap with a buff are just more than you need for anything other than hard mode. Cloak of Fear is nice for the extra damage procs, but Oppressive Gloom can only take one proc and is completely unnecessary. The only possible reason I can see to take it is to help compensate for being a subpar aggro magnet, which is fair if you want to lean into that role.

Just found this. I thoroughly appreciate all the devs do to keep this game alive, and in no way empathize with the rage quit. But the OP is spot on with the nerfs. I have several toons that I'm no longer interested in playing now, due to Adaptive. Seeds, Carrion, and Rad Therapy changes have just made the builds boring and uninteresting. These weren't by any stretch my go-to toons for feeling uber, either. They were just good and fun, and now they aren't. Makes me a little sad, but there are plenty of other toons to play. Just really question the wisdom of nerfing something so that it isn't fun anymore, esp when it was far from OP. And yes, I thoroughly read the dev notes and tried to play the toons, so please don't come at me just for being disappointed.

Thanks, I see now that if I activate while moving it kicks in, but then drops out as soon as I stop.

Is there a way to bind fly and a flypose to the same key, so they activate with one click? Thanks!

Thanks, I was worried a new one had slipped by me.

Hey, can you tell me where you found that so I can look it up? Thanks.

The fact that the Cloaks can proc damage is also a selling point. It all adds up.

Is that true for Oppressive Gloom as well?

Nice. Have you updated for the new DA, or just left well enough alone?

Thinking about something like this then. And thanks.

Ha! Fair, fair.

Sorry, Oppressive Gloom from DA

Thanks! What's your take on Gloom and Soul Transfer?

Soul Transfer seems like a real PITA. Like, it will be up only 30-50% of the time in the fights where you'll most need it. Pretty much just a rez now, despite what it says on the box? Does the Def from Cloak of Fear (sorry, darkness - and no wonder Dark gets picked on all the time. Who wears 2 cloaks?) not work like other Stealth Def? In other words, is it always at full effectiveness? Seems that way in City of Data. Is Oppressive Gloom a reasonable Crowd Control power? Does it make a difference when you need it to? Thanks!

I've seen the claim that Res is capped at 90, but not debuff Res

Is it true that 100% Resistance works vs debuff, fully negating it? If so, how does Type matter?

Yeah, KB is annoying. And yeah, everyone has a right to play and have fun how they want. I've bought new players KB>KD procs on many occasions. And I've left many teams because someone who didn't know how to use KB was messing me up big time. It's one of the few toon types where someone being low skill actively gets in the way. It just is what it is. Kicking people with KB is a dick move, but asking them to stop scattering is perfectly fair. IMNSHO

I think it's just FH and RR that are enhanceable, not AR. At least according to CoD

Yeah, I just saw that stacking in CoD. Would you really take Ageless?
