Plant/Psy Dom Build help

[splashgordan81]

Hello everyone,

 

I have enjoyed playing controllers, and am wanting to be a troller and blaster combo which is why i am wanting to try out Dominator.  I have done a lot of research and have landed on Plant/Psy.  I have put together a build based on a few builds I have found online.  Could someone please take a look and let me know of any changes I could/should do.  My main focus will probably be solo since its hard to find teams at times, but I do enjoy teams as well.  Not sure what the numbers are, I am horrible at builds.  I do know it is perma hasten, almost perma drain psyche and not sure what I will need for perma dom.  Thanks for the help.

for starters lotg +recharge is governed by the 5 bonus rule you have 7 i would also aim for at least soft capping S&L def at 45% and aiming for around 160% recharge

[splashgordan81]

Sounds good, any ideas on how to improve my def and recharge 🙂

this thread seems to be what you are looking for with defense though i just noticed you are going fire epic and i would not know the first thing about building for resists dont like it on dom personaly

[Riverdusk]

Just working on leveling up one of these myself, fun and effective combo so far.  Have tried plant on so many things and like the set, but for some reason haven't found a combo to "click" yet.  I'm hopeful.

 

Some things: 

You can get away with two slotting hasten if you boost the IO's to +5.  If you exemp a ton though, I can see maybe sticking with 3 slots. 

 

Personally I like slotting some damage in roots, it is actually a decent aoe damage addition when you do so.   Even on a dom that doesn't need the damage as much as a controller I still find it nice.  Then again you went fire epic and maybe have enough aoe there compared to me that went ice epic.

 

Drain Psyche needs some accuracy imho, especially since you don't have a kismet slotted, or tactics, or something like sleet to debuff defenses that I see.  Not sure how much in the way of acc set bonus you have, but it'd have to be a LOT for me to skip accuracy entirely.  I do NOT want to miss with it when I need to hit that AV for that -regen debuff and sometimes AV's can have some very good defenses.  I also of course want to hit as many things in general as I can for the regen.  Also, it does not need any endurance mod slotted.  It gives an insane amount of recovery even with none slotted and only hitting 1 target (100% which is equal to 4 x unslotted stamina).  Speaking of, if you need slots you can also try cutting down the health and stamina slotting.  Personally going to try just a panacea proc in health and a perf shifter proc in stamina and that's it.  Drain psyche is that good.

 

Carrion Creepers I can't imagine not 6 slotting.  So many good procs to put in it along with the usual acc, dam, and recharge to work in.  It also looks like you have a sudden acceleration kb to kd in there?  I've never seen creepers do knockback, only knockdown (unless maybe you are fighting way under your level or maybe against clockwork).

 

Not seeing the point of invisibility.  You can just go with stealth + a celerity Stealth IO in sprint.  You don't even need it for a LoTG mule as you are already at 5 as was mentioned.

 

I'm not so negative on going the resistance route instead if you want.  Defense is easier to build for, but It is also easier to get defense through team buffs, temp buffs (you can get +13 or so s/l def +5 more def to all from P2W on demand), or even purple inspirations (which are amazing compared to orange res inspirations, something I still think is unbalanced to this day).   Good resistances combined with nice regen from drain psyche I could see working (worth a try anyway).  I often go with charged armor (+res to s/l/e) on my controllers and I find it works pretty well at keeping them alive compared to the standard ice armor or scorpion shield epic choices.
