A plant/fire dominator. Open with Seeds of Confusion and then throw fire as fast as I can. Use holds if necessary. She is surviving well at level 16. We'll see how it goes. I like to team too but solo power is a must. |

(Please support the best webcomic about a cosmic universal realignment by impaired angelic interference resulting in identity crisis angst. Or I release the pigmy water thieves.)
I am working on a Plant/Fire "blaster" too at the moment. Fun hero. Very visually pleasing. Effective both solo and teamed and from a low level on. Eventually. I hope to make it perma Dom and perma Hasten.

My plant/fire Dom is one of my favorite characters. She just tears through stuff. 
Make a man a fire and keep him warm for the day, SET a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.

Hmm... maybe I should reroll my Plant/Thorn as a Plant/Fire. Thorn works thematically, but Fire re-coloured makes for a really nice looking water-based power.

As mentioned, you're going to love carrion creepers. Just a warning, slot those babies with generic accuracy, they have multiple attacks and Set IOs work wonky in them as a result. But I found that accuracy made a world of different in mine, far more than damage for just one slot.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.
I came late to the AoE confuse party. I had arctic air on an ice controller, but it doesn't seem to hit as often. Electric control was where I rediscovered a nice confuse in conjunction with domination. I am playing a Plant/thorn more often now. Mass confuse powers are a special control.

HelinCarnate:OMG it is so terrible. I have the option to take 3 more powers but no additional slots. Boo F'ing hoo.

Plant / Fire is the brute of doms. See some posts in the Dom Section. Plant / Fire / Fire is crazy fun - Fireball ftw.
I have a plant/psi dom which is not to dissimilar to plant/fire, and she's amazing. Probably the most powerful character I have in terms of damage mitigation+damage output.
My plant/storms/ice controller has more survivability than my claws/fire brute and my spines/fire scrapper way more even in +4x8 with bosses ambushes he is a complete animal then throw in rebirth t4 and it turns into a joke a bad one and its on the mobs because with SoC/roots/CC/tornado and the 2 ice storms it is calamitous and I am just sitting in the corner digging through the skittles trying to figure out what flavor I like....it usually ends up with me eating all the reds though.
Plant/Fire is one of the best doms for sure. If you grab villain alignment you get that instant full dom bar and it goes so well with Fire APP. I have a guide in my sig if it helps

Wait, the villain alignment power instantly triggers dom? Finally a reason to run villain TIPS on my plant/fire!!

I read your guide before I made my character! It's a great guide thanks so much for writing it!

Doesn't Dam/Rech from Targetted AoE work as well?
