Need someone else to verify if envenomed blades causes tk to break sleep early. It is the martial assault build up.

That and it naturally forces mobs together, which works well with your own kit and everyone else's. Scale should be reverted too though. Cc resistant mobs are becoming more and more prominent, ESPECIALLY for confusion. Nerfing scale is going to do nothing but make already confuse resistant mobs more miserable for plant. It's actually kind of a problem they should address at some point. Even mind control struggles a bit with arachnos while domination is up now.

Wouldn't be the first time. Certainly would be welcome.

They are the iconic powers, yes. You don't skip your hold, really ever on any control set, nor your aoe root, because it's typically objectively better than your single target root in every single possible way, unless it's a weird set like arsenal that just doesn't let you have that. Before yesteraday I'd say skipping your aoe hold would be advisable depending on the set due to the low uptime, but that's probably not going to be the case anymore.

You take strangler, roots, seeds, carrion and fly trap on almost every plant build, with fly trap and roots being basically the only drops if you know what you are doing, and even then are oft too valuable to pass up. I have quite possibly the strongest plant dom you can really make, and it has 5 power picks in plant. Where are you getting this from? Do you really think you can just spam seeds and afk while carrion does all the work? Good luck with that, gamer. Again, I encourage people to play powersets before commenting on how to build them.

Nah, you want that extra surge of res in really stressful situations. MoG wouldn't be half of what it is now if it was just some absurd regen buff.

This set needs some sound variance, did a team of all pyros with some friends and the sound was mad annoying.

Why is skipping skills that are not useful an argument here? Before this patch dropped I skipped mass hypnosis on my mind/dark and could outclear most dominators on it. Now I'd consider it mandatory. I could make the same argument for so many sets, and the answer is because the set has good powers and performs well in spite of its poor structure. If spore cloud was worth taking on live, people would take it. If spirit tree wasn't useless, people would take it. If vines worked like it does now, people would probably take it. Every build choice is weighing at least one power against another. Yet, the net sum of these buffs does not outweigh the collosal destruction of set identity the nerfs bring with them. If I want to play a displacement heavy set with a strong sleep, confuse and an aoe hold, why would I EVER play plant over mind literally ever? Theme? Plant had a theme and unique identity, you homogenized and murdered it. If we're gonna bend over backwards over friggin beanbag, I think plant control could get a stay of execution and be fine.

Oh come on, even sentinel dark armor isn't this bad.

Hypothetically, if I was a power dev, and my new set was being unironically compared to stalker willpower, I would scrap the entire goddamn thing.

Did you mean on beta? Do yourselves a favor and just revert the change in general instead of bothering to fix this.

If it came without a catch, sure, but I like the way this thing is tuned now and would rather not add any further downsides. They wanna up the duration for free? Be my guest.

Why is this set being sent to beta in such a clearly unplayable state? The world may never know. Perhaps it's time to listen to feedback instead of trying to force a flawed vision on the playerbase and acting surprised when people hate it.

They don't taunt, rooted mobs just tend to try and hit the nearest thing they can, which happens to be creeper vines a lot of the time.

I mean it's not just procs, though that contributes. We gave one melee AT higher target caps, larger aoes and wider arcs and yet we're shocked it's the best one at clearing fodder. It's definitely on the weaker side in single target, but not enough to outperform that gain. I was kinda hoping brute would get in on that action.
