We have /plant?

[Galaxy Brain]

Something I have yet to see talked about is the /Plant Manipulation. Is that any good....?

On paper it's got an impressive combination of melee and control - most notable are the Radius 15 Thorn Burst and Vines, with a decent early attack in Skewer.

 

I'm no fan of the looks personally, but in terms of effectiveness it should pair quite viciously with hold-based sets such as Ice, Electric, as well as some of the Epic and Patron options (Leviathan's got two more holds, and area immobilize types can slot another hold as a proc-chance IO). The absorb's perfectly fine and hey - toxic res.

I didn't 20 it - is its absorb as noisy as Temporal's Sustain?
