Plant/Earth Build ideas

[Pharce]

I made a plant/earth. I really want a melee ranged huge damage Dom. But i'm having trouble figuring out how to get enough defense. Any help would be great.

[Nightmarer 2]

Afraid Earth Assault is great dmg for melee but you won't get huge ranged dmg from it. Hope this gives you some ideas

Thanks! I have along ranged Dom if i want that so this is great. I playing around with power choices. I was thinking about dropping hurl boulder. And going ice as the epic. It has a def sheild. Sleet is a -res and it has a heal/increase ho power. What do you think?

I like Scorpion Shield because it also allows you to softcap to nrg dmg which is by far the most common one in high end content such as Tinpex TFs and such but Ice is always a good choice, you sacrifice the nrg softcap but in return you get more utilities such as Sleet. The build is not mine, a friend of mine did it, I tweaked it a bit but yep, I'd deffo skip Hurl Boulder. I left it there because I liked the 10% +rchg that allowed to have perma-carrion creepers but a couple seconds up or down shouldn't be a big problem. In fact, Ice epic will give you more slotting choices since a lot of the ones I took were aimed to softcapping nrg dmg (well, 0.8% short).

Running an Plant/Earth/Ice dom is a beast. You do lean onto the Crawlers, confuse and sleet to melt enemies. I cannot remember right now if I have capped defense; but maybe 30's with half decent res. I hardly find an issue diving into mobs at 4x8 since the lockdown setup is pretty hefty. Also with Ice Sleet -Res is a perfect matchup for the high damage earth, which can be proc'd really nicely.

[Pharce]

This makes me happy. As i started to look into ice it just seemed better and better. That -res can really up the damage. It will also be a play style that keeps it interesting. Thanks all.
