Plant/Cold

I find myself with a pile on influence just sitting on heroside. I wanted to build a toon that would destroy mobs solo as well as offer great team support. My original was going to be a traps/arch, the squishiness and slowness of ffg tended to annoy me. I already have a fire/shield purpled out, that has already been suggested many times.

I went plant/cold/pyre, the concept is a furycrafter from The Calderon series by Jim Butcher.

This is the best I could build it, I'd like to get some more ranged defense, I was also thinking of going plant/rad/pyre, the self heal should help shore me up between mobs. I didn't like rad on my fire/rad corruptor, but with the mobs grouping due to seeds I think Ill like it much better with plant/.

I am pretty set on Plant/ but I am open to secondary and ancillary changes, as long as they stay elemental it will fit with my concept.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, I like the build Enots and I think Plant/Cold with that sort of defence will be just fine. I made a few slotting changes though and one power choice that you might want to consider, though nothing major.

1) I picked up the shield instead of RotP. With Tough, you have 60% Smashing/Lethal Res. which sounds pretty good to me.

2) Took away one of the procs in CC, as I think maxing out both damage an recharge is more important.

3) Moved the Ragnaroks into Fireball as I think that will benefit more than Sleet, and the KD proc will come to use. I left Sleet with Posi's as the recharge values aren't too important with the global recharge packed into your build. (Still easily perma).

4) You don't need the KB prot from the Gladiator's Armor (due to BotZ) so I just put a Ribosome in for better Res/End.

It's all quite minor, but I hope some of it helps.

EDIT: The only other thing I would suggest is when Arctic Fog gets fixed, to give SL defence, maybe think about softcapping your SL defence with the Ice Epic. Two rain powers would be pretty cool, and still thematic.
