Question about */thorny assault and proc changes

[KaizenSoze]

Reading this thread in the defender forum: Which Sets Benefit Most from the i25 Proc Rules

 

I have a desire for a */thorny assault dominator.  Thorns do not seem a popular choice, but I was thinking that the new procs might benefit the set a lot.

 

Since, most of the powers have -def, KD, KB, etc...

 

Has anyone done any testing?

 

What are good primaries?

[KaizenSoze]

I have decided on elec/thorns/cold?.  I love the end drain powers and cold has decent defense.

 

I am flying blind, but here what I am trying.

 

Conductive Aura has pretty good vertically. I can hover just out of melee range of the mobs, but hit most of them.

 

Thorns has a lot of ranged attacked.  And, I have a lot of practice hovering and lining up cones with other toons.

 

So, I get the benefit of CA, but not the downside of being in melee.

 

Level 25 right now. Only died once. I have mostly been in groups. Static field's +/- end effect a great benefit to teams.

 

The build is very much in flux, so I will not post anything yet.
