I personally have a lot of fun with Plant control, though the Sonic secondary is lacking a bit.

Fly trap's freakishly adorable too.

running with a Ill/Sonic right now and it is by far the most entertaining, non melee, set that I have run, its good on teams and solo, though I have dropped a few powers out of sonic

Let us know how that secret meeting at 9 pm on the hill works out! Some sets are really fun stacked, others have a way of... "rooster-blocking" themselves. I bet you guys are gonna stack to the moon for lulzy good times.

Also, 45 is pretty close to 50. What if you made the push to get them both to 50 and rocking budget enhancements before making the commitment to pimping one of them out hard?

Throwing out SB to the team when they are running all over the place . . . keeping up with the Tank out front so that I can hit Fulcrum Shift before the team kills all the bad guys, and then fitting in Transfusion and Transference and Siphon Speed and Siphon Power before everything is dead . . . while throwing out Seeds and Roots and Creepers . . . <pant, pant>
Oh man. I agree with this one. My plant/kin is only in his teens and I only bother with the single target Immob on small teams. I've put Siphon Power on autofire, and that gets me into trouble sometimes (such as when I try to start a fight out with Confusion, and SP follows right after and draws some aggro), but if I don't do that I just won't keep it up (and stacked) like I should. I would call Kin effective, but not "fun" unless you're a total Type A personality.

Plant/Storm and Grav/Storm are great combos, too (working on them).

To me, the most important thing is to come up with a name/Concept that I find to be fun or amusing.
Grav/Storm is indeed superfun. Rebuilt Lucille may be half-human, but she's ALL woman and will throw peeps against the wall (repeatedly) if they disrespect!
