Plant/Rad Review Request

[VV]

Having so much fun with Doms these days. Plant/Rad seems fun just because of the irony. But, /Rad has a really nice set of powers, aoe, st, ranged, melee, and even a bit of a heal. Take a look at my build and see what you think. I'm not too sure about the Def Debuff slot on Proton Volley. Is Def Debuff good? Is it pointless to increase? Is there too much or not enough already in Rad Assault? I'm also not sure if the procs in Spirit Tree will work properly? And why is Soul Mastery the best Mastery for Doms??? I can't even seem to pick another. +End, +Dam, +Acc, Res to 4 types, and a helpful, if creepy, buddy. Nothing beats it. Anyway, please have a look and let me know if you see any tweaks.

1: Global procs in Spirit Tree will work, but not procs that are on a 2-minute timer like Regenerative Tissue. And also, since it's just slots, if that's what you want out of the power, then just 1-slot it with Preventive Medicine (that's a global so it will fire just for having it slotted), and move the other procs to Health. It's the same slots, and you have them available earlier.

 

2: Unleash Potential seems overslotted.

 

3: I would 6-slot the ATO set into Vines over 5-slotting the purple set, to get the extra Ranged Defense.

 

4: I don't know how the end usage is, but the best bang to fix it is to put the Theft of Essence proc in Rad Siphon. Frankly, that power should be frankenslotted since it can take ToE which is a great proc, Achilles which is also a great proc, and now you're down to 4 slots... better to 3-slot it for enhancement and stick a damage proc in there.

 

5: Fly Trap can probably be slotted well with 4 slots of that set, and that frees up a slot... put it into Combat Jumping, put in the Resist IO, and you get better overall resist bonuses than the 5th set bonus.

 

6: Carrion Creepers does very well with procs. I'd put Positron, Gladiator's Javelin, and Annihilation in there, then maybe Trap of the Hunter, then slot for Acc/Dam/Rech with the last 2-3 slots.

Awesome, thanks so much for the tips! That's exactly what I needed.

[mbre2006]

Concept wise I'm liking the combination of these two. I was thinking plant/psi but been curious to try out rad. Thanks for the idea.

Maybe I'm missing a thematic thing here, but why, ever, would you not have Seeds with a Plant dom?  I would argue it's the best overall skill for dominators across all sets.  Without it, why play Plant at all?  Also, while I love the idea of Spirit Tree, it's just not a good power in its current implementation.  If they made it Spirit Treant, so that it could move slowly with  you as Fly Trap and Carrion Creepers do, then it might be an auto pick for every Plant dom.

Oh my, that build is ancient. This is what I'm running now.
