LF Earth/Energy Build

[Flowen]

Looking for Earth/Energy build to at least get me started please and thanks

[Bokken]

Hi there!

 

I am leveling up the same combo now.

When Coh was live back in the day I played a earth/emp troller. The only thing I lacked back then was damage and the Dominator with the energy secondary gives you just that.

 

To talk a bit about the earth primary...

It has a excellent combination of soft and hard control.

By soft control I am talking about Quicksand, Stalagmites and Earthquake. 

 

By hard control I mean the holds etc. See the combos I use below. That being said, fossilize is awesome, and is your goto control whenever it is up.

 

There are many ways to play earth but the way I do it is to use combos of abilities to disable groups quickly.

 

Combo 1: stalagmites and ae root.

Combo 2: Quicksand and earthquake.

Combo 3: volcanic gasses and ae root.

Combo 4: (to hold bosses quickly) volcanic gasses and fossilize.

 

I see the pet as a speed bump. Nice damage but kinda slow on attacks.

 

About the energy secondary...

Not much to say other than that the focus on single target damage synergizes really well with earth's ae controls. Blast away!

 

[Bokken]

Oh yeah, another thing about energy as a secondary is that the knockback/down synergies well with earths as well.

ok. just hit 48. :-)

 

Time to look at sets I guess.

I wa wondering if you all in your less finite wisdom can help me set up my build (I have all my  respecs ready).

 

Some points:

1. I am considering dropping power boost. Havent really seen any huge effect from it, not with domination going most of the time.

2. I know the build isnt optimized atm. This is what Im trying to get advice on.

3. I have chosen to not pick any purple sets at all at this time, just to get an inkling of what im looking at.

4. when picking now, I chose to try and maximize my damage (with +damage (all)) from sets. Also, for convenience and because I couldnt find anything better, I went for making my superjump/combatjumping faster/higher.

5. Melt armor, has been helpful in teams vs AV's, atleat I like to think it is... convince me otherwize if you can. :-)

6. Nothing is holy. Hit me!
