Plant/Nature/Levithan Build Request

[PrimaryControl]

As the title says, I'm asking the community if anyone has a build they could drop on me for this.

 

I'm going to be honest, I can make a build, but it would be end up being just a simple straight forward slotting hold sets in a hold powers, damage sets in a damage power, etc. I don't understand or know all the sets and combos to mix and match to get the best out of everything.  So really, any help would be appreciated.

 

What I'm wanting from this is something combat/damage heavy, which I know isn't exactly a controller's forte' but a dominator doesn't have the right 'feel' for the theme I want.

 

Can you guys help out?

Here's a possible take on this combo.

 

I'll admit that despite playing Nature to 50 once or twice, I don't have great builds pre-made for it, so I am fiddling a little bit in the dark here.

 

 

Nature's big power is a combination of three things: endurance discount, global damage, and +ToHit. It's not possible to perma this power, but you can get reasonably close. I was able to get it down to around a 20 second gap, which I think is pretty reasonable.

 

Anyway, that combination of things leads me to believe a proc build is in order. I also think this is a good opportunity to go with the Soul APP for Soul Drain, which can be used to push the +Damage advantage even further. It's sadly not possible to perma this, but you can get about 44% up time from it.

 

If these numbers are accurate, when you are able to combine Soul Drain with saturated targets and Overgrowth, you're at 338% Damage bonus, which is Kinetics levels of damage buff. This isn't sustainable, but not a bad place to be about half the time. The trick will be getting enough enemies into Soul Drain's radius, which isn't always easy. Seeds of Confusion can help with that though if you hold off on Immobilizing until mobs can gather.

 

 

 

I took Cross Punch to try to push the damage advantage a bit, and since we're assuming we'll be up close for Soul Drain. 

 

I could have procced out Seeds of Confusion for more damage, but I think the +5 Ranged Defense and +10 Recharge (especially) are more valuable. Recharge is the name of the game here, with all of Nature's powers being hungry for it.

 

 

I didn't slot Carrion Creepers because there is optimal slotting listed somewhere on this forum and I can't remember precisely what it is. 🙂 But you should slot it that way.

Thank you for this.

 

I easily found the creepers post you were talking about for proccing that power out.

 

Between this and that, and can tweak the two to get exactly what I'm looking for, so again thank you so much!

Will you link the post? I can't find it ;_;
