Plays with Matches Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hello, I am pretty new to the game and am working on this troller. Was wondering if someone could take a look at this build and let me know if there is anything that could be improved upon or if i have done something wrong that just needs to be changed. One concern is strangler, should i slot that for damage or is the controller set ok there? Thank you in advance.

Radamond Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sorry for the noob question, but what is the reason to take mystic flight and superspeed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyx Nought Nothing Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Howling Twilight doesn't need any accuracy since it's an autohit power. Personally i always focus on recharge since it's an amazing debuff, especially against AVs and GMs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hjarki Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Some things I noticed: Twilight Grasp. 6-slot Nictus doesn't really get you anything useful. I'd go with something like 2-slot Nictus, 4-slot Cloud Senses. This gets you both procs, a bit of extra healing and some -hit debuffing - as well as the recharge bonus from Cloud Senses. Roots. There are times it makes sense to slot the AE Immobilize for control. This is not one of them. Roots is double the damage of other AE Immobilize and should be slotted as such - especially given that you have no other target AE powers. Spirit Tree/Vines. Neither of these are particularly worthwhile powers unless you desperately need them for slotting. Strangler. Slotting this for Basilisk's Gaze means you're not using it as a source of damage. Indeed, the entire build seems to fall apart if you plan on fighting an AV/GM since it has no effective single target damage beyond the probably-just-going-to-die Pet. Seeds of Confusion. Slotting anything except Coercive Persuasion here is questionable. Aside from the great set bonuses, Contagious Confusion in AE Confuse is nearly mandatory. Carrion Creepers. While the all-procs slotting is popular, I think it's far more worthwhile to push the recharge on this power. At the very least, tossing the Superior Overpowering Presence proc in here makes sense. Howling Twilight. This is a good place to slot Absolute Amazement since it gets you all the standard purple bonuses and you don't have many places to slot these sorts of sets. Dark Servant. While this can be muled, I've never found this power to be particularly useful as a power since it dies so easily. If you are going to depend on pets, you probably want to pick a Patron pool so you can mule all the resist/defense bonuses. Flying. If you're only taking this one power, you're better of taking the Sorcery pool. If you can free up two other powers, it will also permit Rune of Protection. Soul Absorption. This doesn't require anything to boost its effectiveness beyond enough recharge to use it regularly - it provides so much recovery/regen when used against a large spawn that it's not really necessary to boost it further. Soul Mastery. This would not be high on my list of choices. While it does have a pet (see above), Soul Drain doesn't really do much for you since virtually all of your damage is pet-based. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is great info. This was my first Plant build I made a couple of months ago that I cobbled together and it works well...but since then I have not revisited it. I never even bought any of the purples in it. Running Trap of the Hunter in Roots and some other cost saving measures. I think I'll respec using your suggestions and see if it is more effective. I just got my alpha unlocked a few days ago. This build is something I play sparingly on the side...but maybe I should give it some attention. A bunch of toons. Global DocRanger All on Excelsior.

Doc Ranger Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) I reworked it a bit. What do you guys think? I went for more Defense. Paragon Wiki says Defense Cap is +175% for Controllers at level 50. But I keep hearing it is 45%. Which is true and when did it change? I am planning to have Scorpion Shield on that gives 59% S/L Def. He also has 50% S/L Resist. Should I change Scorpion Shield to a Resist based shield? This would take my S/L Defense to 37% and put me over the S/L Resist cap to somewhere over 80%. Which would be more beneficial?
