Dark/Plant? Anyone?....anyone?

[Jawbreaker]

Have a concept for this combo but haven't found anything in the forums about it, and never played /plant. Will they synergize decently?

[Meknomancer]

Haven't tried dark/plant blaster combo, are you stuck on it being blaster, what about plant/dark dominator or controller? Did you want a super expensive tanky/melee one or a cheap ranged hoverblaster. Almost any combo can be made to work thats the beauty of the game. Some will simply be better than others. Hers a cheap one with mostly junk sets thrown in for hover blasting keeping stuff kb'd and immob'd and stacking -to hit:

This is the Water/Plant build I settled on with Neru's help.  Should give you some tips on how to approach Plant at least.  It was done from a ranged hover blaster perspective (soft-cap ranged).

I'll have to save out the build I have for Токсичный Подлесок (Toksichniy Podlesok, 'Toxic Undergrowth'), my Dark/Plant Blaster. The two powersets synergize nicely, with a solid blastroller playstyle (an ice/plant build is less so, being much heavier on controls and limited non-control attacks, feeling more like a straight-up controller without the advantage of the controller inherent).

That sounds like what I had in mind, Hoverblast/light controller

Updating the Mid's plan for the character; it was badly out of date...

The character is not yet fully tweaked out, but it still plays quite well. With two ST holds, a targeted AoE hold, a ST immob, and a cone immob, it's got enough control to lock down mobs while you shred them, enough direct damage to do the shredding, and a self heal that contributes to your damage.

For Moonbeam and Gloom, they were originally slotted with Thunderstrike as well before I accumulated the influence to buy the Blaster ATO sets, and then catalyze them at 50, so that gives you a less-expensive development build (and with unslotters, you can pass the Thunderstrikes to other characters to help them out on the cheap).

I did one of these.  As a hoverblaster with a heal and debuffs, it had EXTREME survivability.  I was planning for it to be my "solo anything" toon.  Fully built, it can easily solo GMs, but the dps is too low for soloing many 54AVs (who resist the -regen debuffs). 

 

Personally, I didn't enjoy it on teams very much.  It's damage is so much weaker than other blaster options I didn't feel like I was contributing very much.  That boost to survivability doesn't mean much on a team.  Also, one of your best attacks is AoE knockback, so can be kind of messy on teams, anyway.

The damage is roughly the same when you compare like powers to each other, but the problem with Dark Blast is that much of it is spaced out over time as a DoT. The way the game is designed, DoTs need to be faster or have larger tics if they want to feel competitive to more traditional burst damage powers. Unfortunately, Dark Blast is still stuck in the past so it has low tic, long lasting DoTs instead.
