Anyone have a good Beam/Plant buid?

[Avarius]

I just started a beam plant blaster and I have never played plant on a blaster b4. Plant troller and dom I played but procced out but the powers were a bit different. Beam I am still not sure if this will be a good combo or not. Any help would be appreciated.

[Meknomancer]

No idea if that combo would work, i have played dark+ice with plant and they were fun. Threw something in mids, only hits about 40% ranged and would need a t4 barrier to keep it above 45%, you'd have to be fast getting in and out of melee:

[professoronblow]

Hey, I play this combo and enjoy it. I don't quite hit the soft cap for range but would be easy if you gave up a proc or two.

 

I went with munitions for flavor, but if you wanted to lean into the debuffing you could go cold and pick up snow storm to use with spore cloud, maybe use the flash freeze power in place of sleep grenade (both can use procs for some aoe damage), and pick up hoarfrost and/or hibernate.

 

I honestly think cold would be a better epic set, but munitions fit my theme better.

 

On slotting, I stacked up some +%, and tried to use procs in vines and sleep grenade for some extra AOE, along with cutting beam + disintegrate. I like single shot over charged slot as a filler due to faster attack animation to spread the disintegrate. I like surveillance and piercing beam to reduce defense. I got the +to hit over 20% for the insta snipe and it's a heavy hitter. 

 

I like this toon, plays differently from many of my others; strictly ranged, but it's quite satisfying to nuke things from range IMO

 

Happy to hear feedback and all the best
