I have a level 9 Earth/Fire, and it beats my non-existent Plant/Fire Dom, hands down.

Okay, okay ... Sorry I can't give you a comparison, but i can tell you that Quicksand just plain rocks. Can't wait for Stalagmites with its AoE Stun to stack on top of it. Then Combustion, and Fireball on top of that! HahHA!!!!

Hard to compare, my guess is Earth/Fire is more consistent against hard targets as it's not reliant on Domination to pump out superior holds. Plus Earth is a debuffing monster.

Either one would be a fine choice. But if you're planning on soloing lots of bosses and such, I'd go with Earth.


My level 50 Dominators:
Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

Where are you picking up fireBALL? Fireblast, yes, fireball, not so much. It'd be too awsome. Firebreath works pretty good along with combustion i've found for some decent aoe damage.

As for plant over earth or earth over plant. I've got a Plant/TA troller, and my own earth/fire dom. control wise, I think earth has the edge, not a HUGE edge, but an edge none the less, and plant gets more damage with Creapers. Earth has a better pet IMO, better dmg and can tank a bit. at the end of the day, honestly, either will work pretty well.

personally, i'd pick plant for the visuals... i think plant looks better... but earth's pet, dispite looking like a big pile of.. well, he's pretty awsome, and the control is seconded to none.

Eh, it's a wash IMO. Pick the one you think looks the coolest, and you'll prolly be happy. heh.
