Plant/Nature

[USCI]

Does anyone have a Plant/Nature build that I can take a look at?  Tired of looking at my Plant/Emp and not getting any use out of her.

 

Thanks.

[USCI]

I looked around a bit, sifting through several builds that I found, and modified one slightly to my pool preferences.

 

Let me know what you think?

You want Creepers frankenslotted. 2-3 IOs which boost Recharge, Damage and Acc and 3-4 damage procs. 3 of those procs should be from Ranged AOE Damage (Targeted AoE Damage). 4th should be the Immob one if you're using it. 

 

Nature likes recharge generally, so Haste is very good for it. Getting Overgrowth perma is difficult. Still nothing wrong with getting up as much as possible. 

 

Epic is up to you. I like Ice as it's vaguely thematic, has Def armour and Ice Storm will do some containment damage. Hibernate is nice as "combat rest" / panic button. 

 

Here's my Plant/Storm reworked to Nature instead. Rebirth, Entangling Aura, Spore Cloud and Lifegiving Spores are potentially optional (in that order, Rebirth is well skippable. Entangling & Spore Cloud really depends on how often you find yourself in close. Lifegiving is very useful in prolonged fights).

Thanks!  You've given me some things to think about.

 

One thing, though, is that I really dislike taking powers like Hibernate/Unstoppable/Moment of Glory type of powers.  It's contrary to the concept of becoming an even more powerful hero/villain in a fight, but I don't like dealing with the fallout of it, either.

Earth is fab for "I like to be close up" controllers. So there's some synergy there between Earths attacks and Natures PBAOE toggles. 

 

Nature HATES being mezzed so Psi is another option.

 

Edit : Here's proc-heavy Plant / Nature / Stone version. Getting a Forced Feedback into Fissure will make Nature happy too 🙂 Scorp would be too except for the stupid redraw on the attacks. If you can handle that it's not a bad option (Disruptor blast needs a KB2KD but can also take Forced Feedback).
