updated Plant/Poison troller post patch?

[brasilgringo]

I've had a Plant/Poison/Earth troller for PvE (not 4*) for  years, based I think on a @Frosticus old build.  How do I need to change around my slotting/powers, especially Plant, post all the changes from this patch?  I heard creepers got nerfed, seeds got nerfed, spirit tree & sleep got buffed. I'm at a loss ...

• Not sure how this build was working for you before the patch. You've got virtually no accuracy slotted. You've got Tactics, but it's also unslotted (except for the %bu proc). Against +3s, almost all your attacks have a 66% chance to hit (with Tactics running). All procs require a successful hit in order to fire. Just about every power should get at least 1 acc IO.
• Skip Alkaloid (you're no longer required to take the T1 in your secondary).
• Roots has a base recharge of 8s and isn't a great choice for procs.
• Seeds of Confusion now has Adaptive Recharge with a base recharge of 6s and is no longer a good candidate for procs. Recommend 5-6x Contagious Confusion.
• Maneuvers and Weave are overslotted.
• Tactics requires end reduction (the power needs to be active for the proc to fire) as well as +tohit. Recommend 2 Cytos.
• Carrion Creepers has greatly reduced proc potential. I'm currently running 5x Bombardment. I've heard that Slow procs still work but have yet to try it.
• Spirit Tree is primarily useful for its taunt aura, not its regen buff. Doesn't need more than the base slot.
• Slot Venomous Gas with 2 Enzymes.

You can try my build. It can solo 54*8 missions fine.

 

This build philosophy is "lots of confuse": Seeds, World of Confusion, Cupid proc in Psionic Tornado and Cognitive interface.

 

I lead with Spirit Tree, Creepers, Seeds.

 

My changes for page 2: replaced the pet by Psionic Tornado, to compensate for the loss of dps, and removed the procs in Creepers.

 

Please note that like Frosticus' old build, Nerve and Ageless are really needed.

Doing this exact same thing as a low level dom.. It's incredibly effective.
