Looks good sso many different builds out there by i understand this one. Now need to respec however ya do that.
This is my updated plant/thorn build, take out the luck of the gamblers, and replace decimation with entropic chaos for a much cheaper build, and you can just get rid of obliteration in ripper (insanely expensive). PFF+Aid Self = God Mode btw.

1. Some vet rewards provide a respec. If your reg date is close to your real start date, though... no go there. If you've been playing longer, you may have one - check "Veteran" under the "Badges" menu. If you have one, click Claim Respec, and see arbiter Lupin in Nerva.
2. Some issues provide a free respec. Type /respec to claim.
3. Run the respec trial (lvl 24 minimum.) Claim the same way - be sure you pick "claim a respec."
4. Luck out on a recipe drop (or buy one at the black market... though they're very pricy, last I looked.)
well poo i thought you could pay for one. oh well thanx for everytrhing guys i better start grinding.
Do you guys know who does more damage plant/thorn or plant/psi i like both and since i have to start over might as well check out all possibilities.
I'm pretty sure you can buy a respec for $10
hope so im lvl 27
Personally I'd save the $10 though. The one power you need is Seeds of Confusion, so if you don't have that, take it at 28. From level 30, try and get yourself on a respec trial, ask in broadcast in Nerva for people to join you. If that fails, I'm sure we'll be getting a respec after Issue 15 with all of the Dominator changes.

/psi is more powerful than /thorns (for now at least), but /thorns is more fun to me. And it does synergize very well.
My husband, has a level 50 mind/psi dom. He's not yet fully built for his IO build though, but he's able to crank out decent damage.
As for plant/thorn, when I was leveling up mine, I was able to do decent damage, but not quick damage, which I'm sure is the norm. I was also running tough and weave, but as you seen in my build above, I got rid of them, because of endurance issues. I always use to play mine, as a scraptroller.
I'm waiting till we all see what type of changes *if any* they do to dominators, before I go about finishing both my husband's and my dominators.
I use to always love the animation of Impale, for some odd reason I loved looking like a female jolly green giant throwing a curveball 
Also, I was looking at the defense in my build and the one Acuzar posted. To me it seems that if one builds for a perma hasten/perma dom build, or heck even just perma dom, that defense and resistance take a severe beating. But then again, it's understandable, as that it's not what the builds are for.

Thanx for all the Info Nightfire i respecced to your build i like it just got to change playstyle from the one i had, i Died so many times last nite roots is evil wont be useing that much to much agro and i swapped stealth and seeds with each other seeds rock IMO. But im liking it so far.
Wow, I'm glad you're liking it I like having stealth, because I like being able to get close and better situate where I'm going to throw Seeds of Confusion.
Just be careful, when using Seeds of Confusion. I remember that when I first started out with my dom, that if say a hellion killed another hellion, then you didn't get the credit for killing that hellion. I don't know whether or not that this was fixed, but it was annoying, and I'm sure that if it still exists, that it's still annoying. I never had roots, when I was leveling up, I think because in the guides that I read, that they just plain out sucked. I had Black Scorpion like Azucar does in his build, but didn't like any of the stuff after a while. A lot of people also don't like Spore Burst, mainly due to being on large teams. I have it in my build, particularly for LRSF. I've seen dominators before that were able to sleep all of the heroes, while a pull and pick one off method was being used. But, even if that doesn't work, I like to use it on mobs that seem too close together. I just sleep the mob that I want to attack secondly, while I destroy the initial mob. Again, if you're on a team, it's best to let your teammates know that you do have Spore Burst, and exactly how you use it. That way, you don't throw it, and be like "Aww [censored], that was a waste!!!", because your team woke up the mob you were trying to avoid.
Might I suggest a playstyle to you?
1. With Stealth on, go up and target the enemy in the dead center of the mob.
2. Once you've said "Hey wazzup!!!", run back a distance and use your immobs and holds.
3. If it looks like Seeds of Confusion is wearing off, again target the enemy in the center of the mob.
4. Start up nailing them with your thorn attacks, and be sure to have your fly trap out, as he/she/it? is a great distraction.
5. I use my thornburst as a means of building up domination, so I usually put it on auto. Just put it down into your tray, click on it, and hit shift and control, and I believe that that will put it as a green ring around the power and will make it autofire.
I hope this helps to avoid being squished.
Also, what server do you play on? I'm on Pinnacle.

Plus you get access to the always-cool Poisonous Ray, which has singlehandedly made my level 41 Dominator a blast to play again.
