I found this one somewhere here on the forums in case you want to check it or mix things up. My Plant/Dark hit 50 yesterday but still haven't decided how to build him. Plus i suffer from Altitis so now i'm searching for an Elec/Time controller :P

I went totally different apporach, no Fighting pool, but softcapped range defense and 216% global recharge. She laughs at +4/x8 Arachnos because that's how good seeds is. I can post my build if anyone is interrested. And you want Coercive Persuation in Seeds because Contagious Confusion will almost always also confuse bosses.

 

Now if I could make my Dark/Storm build work so it would be nearly as enjoyable….

Yeah if you could post that I’d be grateful. I’m at 38 right now and it’s pretty good so far but purple sets at 50 will be fun I’m sure.

 

I pieced together what I saw of several plant builds and my current knowledge of my several dark builds.

Will do when I am back from work today. Speaking of which, that plant Controller spoiled me, she is just that safe. I would really love if you could give me some tips on how to handle my Dark/Storm Controller. I really have a hard time on her with only Fearsome Stare to open. I hate it how that stun is pbaoe. How do you handle nemesis or hard hitting mobs/Bosses, because of course I tend to miss them mostly with FS. On the plant I can just open with Darkest Night and wait for seeds to recharge (12 secs) to stack it on Nemesis or other mobs that resist it. I am sure there is something I am missing there so any help would be appreciated.

Here is the build. I am not good with building so I went with softcapped ranged defense and 216% global recharge speed. I am sure you guys can improve it. It did work out for me though, even with Arachnos on +4/x8 (I usually solo on +2/x8 though for clear speed).

Will do when I am back from work today. Speaking of which, that plant Controller spoiled me, she is just that safe. I would really love if you could give me some tips on how to handle my Dark/Storm Controller. I really have a hard time on her with only Fearsome Stare to open. I hate it how that stun is pbaoe. How do you handle nemesis or hard hitting mobs/Bosses, because of course I tend to miss them mostly with FS. On the plant I can just open with Darkest Night and wait for seeds to recharge (12 secs) to stack it on Nemesis or other mobs that resist it. I am sure there is something I am missing there so any help would be appreciated.

The safest one I have is Dk/Dk. 

 

I would imagine with Dark/Storm I would open with Fearsome then Living Shadows. Run into the middle and pop Heart of Darkness and a Thunder Clap. With Storm I might then run in a quick mini-circle inside the mob with Hurricane with KB-KD so they fall on the floor and get -tohit debuff as well (never tried it with Dark so YMMV). Then back up and repeat. At that point I'd probably throw down a Shadow Field as well. Then beat the hell out of them with your other storm powers.

 

I assume you would have Steamy Mist slotted for max D. 

 

My only other Dark primary toon besides my Dk/Dk is a Dk/Nature. And what he loses in safety he gains in just sheer overpowering heals and buffs.  So with Storm I imagine it might not be quite as safe as Dk/Dk but it will do more damage. 

 

I made a Fire/Dk and it's the same problem. Not as safe as Dk/Dk but it definitely pumps out more damage. 

 

Enjoy!

I do that exactly, still if Bosses (especially on Tina's arc) are in the mix, they hit hard when I miss them with FS, or they don't care. Plus, the gameplay might not be for me. FS, LS, running in, HoD, then hop out again. I wish HoD would also be a cone or a targeted AoE like the other stuns.

 

/Dark is my favorite secondary for Controller and I find it super safe for all primaries. I have a 43 Fire/Dark and she is super safe too, especially because she has a targeted stun instead of pbaoe. I would roll a Dark/Dark but I did only pair /Dark so far with damaging primaries (Ill, Fire and Plant), not sure how the damage is on a Dark/Dark?

It’s not stellar dmg like fire but when you floor the mobs tohit it’s the ultimate safe zone. There are lots of proc opportunities if you want to pump out more damage. But I like having those set bonuses because I play in teams most of the time. 
 

With Dk/Dk you get 3 pretty nice pets.

But once you can slot up a little bit your fearsome lasts a minute and hod/living shadows lasts like 45 secs. So you don’t need to jump around as much. Apply Fade first then FS, LS, HoD...then jump in with Tar Patch, Darkest Night on the biggest boss, howling twilight (major stun), Soul Absorption....at this point you can sit and go afk while you make a coffee. And this is without casting the pets.
 

There was a guy on this forum who was interested in the build so I took him on a mission of mine +4/+8 (new Clockwork I think). After I did the above round of casts on the first big mob I just sat there typing back and forth to him for a good while telling about slotting etc etc. It is so satisfying 🙂

I play without procs so if you wanna change things you can do everything when you have Ageless so there are no cooldown problems. You can switch to Masculature Alpha when you get Ageless but you need the Agility till then with this build. Tried to keep it cheap with only 1 purple set and 1 ATO.
