    I've actually found that Tree of Life is useful when leveling. There have been times when I'll hit an endurance crash and be unable to heal myself or my team. The tree helps just enough for me to get some endurance back enough to pop another heal.

    Good information though. I can see how Seeds can be useful. I hadn't taken them while leveling because confuse lowers the xp return but I can see it's usefulness at 50 especially in trials.

    The fly io in swift isn't for increased speed in fly but to boost movement while in hover. It gives enough of a boost to movement that I don't have to run unless the tank is just plowing through stuff.

    For Heat Exhaustion, I guess I always thought it was lackluster. Since I haven't been up against AVs while leveling i never realized how good it could be. I'll have to fix that.

    As for Super Speed vs Stealth, I thought Speed would have a much higher end cost than it does.

    I built a plant/thermal controller to level with a friend thinking the heals and shields would be useful. I really wish I'd done /kinetic because that's fun too but I at least want to finish this character to 50 and try some trials. I think he can bring some useful buffs and control to the table.

    I'm going for a sort of malevolent pixie theme, keeping with plants/fire/water. What I'm looking for is some advice on how to slot it with the common lvl 50 IOs so that I can begin working towards sets afterwards. My main play style in groups at the moment is to lay down vine and creepers and then toss roots as it cycles, filling with heals and ST entangle/strangle as needed. I do sometimes find myself hovering over groups, being a healing and aura bot as well.

    I would certainly appreciate the advice.
