Plant/Storm- attempted Proc Monster

[Draeth Darkstar]

Heya folks. Trying my hand at a Proc Monster build with a Plant/Storm and I'd love any feedback or suggestions I can get. This'll be my first Stormie and first Controller build since The Time Before and I'm a little rusty.

 

As I see it:

• Pros:
  • Lots of procs (of course)
  • Perma hasten
  • Softcapped S/L and Ranged, small purple from E/N
  • Doesn't need Super Speed for stealth, nice for Control positioning with Hover/Fly
• Cons:
  • End drain is pretty high and Storm is end hungry. Ageless 100% required
  • Weak ST attack chain
  • No room for Frost Breath
  • Gave up a couple proc opportunities to get the recharge and defense up there

Current recharge is 171.25%, but with the 5 "force feedback procs, chance for +recharge 100%", (3 used constantly with a normal attack chain) perma haste is almost a given. ((Or very very close))

 

S/L defense 29.99%
S/L resistance 9.5%

Regeneration Rate 0.94%/sec (12.65 hp/sec)
Recovery Rate 3.01%/sec (3.31 end/sec)
End Consumption 2.27%/sec (2.49 end/sec)

Recharge Time Bonus 171.25%

Acc bonus 1.65x

To hit bonus 85%

Stealth Radius (PvE) 65.00ft

 

And i'm sure you do, but throw Celerity: +Stealth in your Sprint power choice.

 

But with the cold opening of Seeds of Confusion and a follow up with Roots/Vines and Tornado, there is almost no need for the high defense and resistance. IMO. But there is always Hibernate if things get out of hand. And with this build, even if you can only effect yourself, your pseudo pets are still going strong. Also, I am always in the front lines near melee so a strong defense isn't typically needed, unless you are just that unlucky.

 

((Also also, ima need to update my mids. im only on v1.9)) (updated)

 

And to any visual learners out there.

Spoiler

I hear you on this one. I'm of the mind that it's usually worth risking lower defense on controllers to give their controls a chance to actually do something! Why dance around softcapped if those vines are holding them tight anyhow?

 

Storm has hurricane to plug the gap when needed anyhow.
