Plant/Storm Tankish Build Help

[krj12]

 

I picked up this build from the proc monsters thread some time ago.  It has great resists and somewhat decent defense,  but tends to get overwhelmed at times during TFs when my team isn't fully backing me up.   I'm looking for something more survivable that can hold its own when needed.   Some DDR during an ITF would be great.  Love all the procs, but they can go,  however I definitely want to keep the knockback to knockdowns.

As 5099 says you want your Procs in Creepers (I disagree with them on slotting up your AOE Immob for Procs too, on your build they have 13% to proc. Meh). 

 

Procced up creepers does A LOT of work. I mean "half of your overall damage on an ITF" damage. That's based on me running one yesterday and parsing the results :

If you want to browse the ITF Combat Parse I ran yesterady go to https://www.carnifax.org and enter the UUID 40f01a0d-a7ce-4113-9c2f-3afa2414778f 

 

Then pick my last Lacewing entry :

 

My Build is Ice Epic but here's a "palette swap" version with Mu instead.

Also one simple tweak on your build. For some reason you're missing out on 5% Ranged Def because you've only taken 5 of the 6 purple Confuse procs in seeds. 6 slot it with Coersive (or, if like me you're cheap 6 Malaises). 

 

And for Creepers I did a few +0x8 Council parsed runs with the different proc types. Damage procs are best, then Trap of the Hunter, then Impeded Swiftness and finally the KB one. 

 

Hits by proc. 

Bombardment (Dam) : 161 + 57 = 218
Explosive Strike (KB) : 22 + 15 = 37
Impeded Swiftness (Slow) : 32 + 55 = 87
Javelin Volley (Dam) : 161 + 69 = 230
Posi's Blast (Dam) : 175 + 62 = 237
Trap of the Hunter (immob) : 132 + 0 = 132
