I´ve heard nice things about Plant/Psy. Anyone has a guide and/or No expense spared endgame build?

[Xiddo]

I was able to make a build on the test server that uses the Soul Mastery pool. I'd been messaging @Ejlertson a bit with some stuff but thought I'd put it here. I realised I should just swap out Mental Blast for the snipe either way, even if I don't use the Soul build.
First draft had 208.75% global rech - perma hasten/ dom/ carrions/drain psyche, Soul drain with a 30 sec downtime. Dark Obliteration is up every 8 seconds, which is nice burst. Putting Ice Mistral over Posi in Carrions causes some fun of unconfused toons, as it takes them longer to get to you.
Attack chain: Seeds > roots > soul drain > drain > shockwave, dark obliteration then either:
Run out and use roots > scream > snipe > strangler

Stay in melee and use probe > thrust > stranger etc.

It defo felt like it does a good amount of damage, there's an extra damage proc in scream, obliteration and the snipe now. BUT.... It is defo a glass cannon. I could swap out the miracle in health for prev medicine proc too.

EDIT: in theory, you could go a bit safer and put 5x of panacea (not the proc) and a boosted 50 Acc IO in drain psyche. With the current slotting I cap my recovery most casts, and dom is perma anyway, but it’s helpful for -end. More regen might be helpful to some? You’d then have more rech too. Haven’t checked the numbers/timings though.

 

NGL, because I wasn't using Mids (as I've said, Mac) I didnt clock that I squeezed more rech out of it. So I did a jiggle, so drain psyche had more acc and a little more rech, which took the global rech to 205%. Which is roughly 2% more than the build I normally use, despite that having one extra LoTG.

 

Some comparison stats. All of these numbers are with the toon with Agility core:

Spoiler

Soul exemp'd at lvl 20: 162.50% rech bonus (with some lucky timings) perma dom in synapses.

Ice exemp'd at lvl 20: 150% needs boosters for perma dom.
Soul at 50: 205% rech bonus

Ice at 50: 203.75 rech bonus

 

15ish sec rech on Seeds on both.

 

Soul at 50: 35.73 ranged def

Ice at 50: 33.23 ranged def

Soul at 50: Melee 21.98%/20.11% Smashing def

Ice at 50: Melee 24.45%/50.30 Smashing def

 

Soul at 50: Smashing 50.09% res

Ice at 50: Smashing 18.17% res

From February's patch:

 

I think maybe the radius was messed with as well, as City of Data says it is only 10 feet now and I don't remember it being so small before, but I could be mistaken.  Regardless, the non-epic version is 20 feet, so the epic version that dom's get is very small compared to the 'regular' version if CoD is accurate.

Pretty sure it used to be 15'.  I think 10 targets is a reduction, too.  Oh well, it probably was OP.
