Earth/nature

[Ukase]

This is the build I anticipate respec-ing into when I reach 50. 

I initially wanted to work the teleport pool into it - but the tradeoffs are too steep in my opinion to make it worth it. This is probably the first character I've made that doesn't have the fight pool, and well..probably one that could benefit from it. 

But nature has many must have powers, I'd say. Rebirth is questionable; I often wonder if a controller's time is best spent using vengeance, then rebirth - because that's about 5 seconds one could be doing something else. And particularly in the labyrinth - the range of both rebirth and vengeance is often too short to use because of the distance between the mythic fog and the center where those not anchored got sucked into and lay defeated. I thought about adding some range, either through set bonuses, but ultimately opted to go for Intuition Radial for Alpha. 

Now, my mind isn't made up, it's just my best guess for what's best for the character at this time. 

I thought about going with scorpion shield and that would allow me to get the fight pool. The survivability would certainly be higher, I'd think. But...how does one pass up Seismic Smash? I don't know that the heal with the absorb, Earth's Embrace is really that important for a natty. But it certainly can't hurt, unless it's at the cost of something like tough and weave. 

I'm sure there are better approaches to this. And to be fair, once I get the three temp pets out of the labyrinth, I probably won't play it that much. Anyway, just figured I'd ask for some different insights to give me some other things to think about. 

Like Earth Quake and Spore Cloud. I don't have them slotted terribly well, because I needed/wanted the slots somewhere else. 

As for the animate stone - I might get rid of it. It's useful in msrs and such to target through. It helps with the dps when solo, sure. But post 50, I don't think it's worth 6 slots. Maybe when the changes in the new patch come? 

Or should I just table it and wait for the new patch?

• Slot Spore Cloud with Enzymes instead of Lysosomes. It doesn't require accuracy and needs end reduction (it's a toggle).
• Consider dropping something (Earth's Embrace?) for Entangling Aura. It's really good on controllers and doesn't need more than 2-3 slots.
• FYI, Rebirth can also be used as a heal on living allies.

That explains that mystery. Thanks!
