    Hold the Mushrooms Please! /Nature sans spores?

    in Controller

    Posted · Edited by MeMawMan

    I'm really grateful for all of these thoughtful responses! It's interesting to see almost unanimous agreement that Spore Cloud is not worth skipping.

     

    I love that more than one person has expressed that Concept is King and the most important aspect of any character build is to enjoy it first and foremost. I've no interest in doing a min/max build, but the general consensus makes me wary to avoid a power that is so good. If anything it's a challenge for me to get even more creative with the character's backstory 🙂

     

    I guess my final question would be - are there no other powers that giving up two from the Nature Affinity secondary would make it a worthwhile decision? I was hoping that having two free power slots would at least allow me to select something from the Power Pools that might add some impressive oomph/variety/survivability to a Controller.

    Thanks for the quick response @twozerofoxtrot, I really appreciate your insight. I did a forum search on Lifegiving Spores and there seems to be a general consensus that the power is somewhat lacking overall and in need of a rework which, for me, is encouraging. You raise a really good point about Spore Cloud too - something I hadn't considered fully.

     

    I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who also has hands on experience with the powerset also in case there's a method by which the absence of LS/SC can be mitigated effectively. Dissenting opinions are also welcome!

    Hi all,

     

    Bit of an odd one. I've got a character concept that has finally clicked and I'm planning on making them a Symph/Nature Controller. However, the two spore/mushroom power (Spore Cloud and Lifegiving Spores) animations just don't fit the character at all and I intend to omit them from my build.

     

    Before doing so, I thought I'd ask for some feedback - how essential are these two powers to a /Nature build? Can something viable be built without them? I'm intending to solo almost exclusively if that's relevant.

     

    Thanks in advance for any feedback anyone is kind enough to offer!
