Lemur, I meant more in terms of how my slotting is. My damage is between 55-105%, but I have a number of pb/aoe type attacks like Ice Storm, Fire Cages, Tremor, etc. that I plan on using plus a few ST ones. I think with the chain of attacks, even my modest dmg buffs will be pretty good. I just didn't go for capped dmg. I think I will probably also be getting Musculature (my other 3 incarnates have all of just about everything), so we'll see how it plays out for me with Spiritual at first. Typically, I prefer Cardiac as I tend to get the most bang for my buck on that.
I'd like to come check you out in action. My build is as much theme as it is meant to be overpowered. I find I can make just about any build work, but some are more fun than others.
Deleted...double post.
You really don't need Cardiac if you have Permadom, which fills your END bar every time it pops....I'm usually triple-stacking it. And Nerve, as pointed out already, is pretty useless as well given Permadom status. It does help out on your Defense buffs...but from what I've seen posted by other players, it amounts to just about nothing (like maybe 1% total extra defense).
You'd be better served with Musculature, as already recommended.
How do you manage to triple stack Domination? +350% rech?

I agree with a Dom or say an Emp Cardiac is possibly the least useful, I meant that in general it was best out of the box for most of my ATs, because, for example Acc/Dam/Rcg tend to be highly slotted and so I'm against the ED cap normally.
I also like Spiritual because of the on paper increase in Disorient and Heal, but I think Musculature is gonna be the way to go. For whatever reason, this build is slightly Dam light, so popping the musculature will put me in the 100%+ range for almost all attacks, which will be nice.
My Fire/Fire/Fire perma dom has a T3 cardiac alpha and I still need to pop a blue on occasion. It is only in an AV fight or similar, though. He has alot of toggles and I could probably fix his end issues with upgrading to a few purple sets (currently doesn't have any,) but really happy with him right now.
I solo +4/x8 non-ambush missions all the time with my Plant/Fire/Fire. Everyone's playstyle is different but with such crazy recharge and Ranged defense, I just don't get hit. Or if I _DO_ get hit, its because of a giant miss on my part. But RotP is there for those occasions.
There have been many full-team missions where a miss on my part has caused a complete team wipe. Dom's are slow to blossom in most cases but once you are in your 40's and have a bunch of your IO's slotted, you are a monster.
Good luck with your build and have fun.
