Primal would definitely be my top pick right now. And Plant can make easy use of a cone attack with Seeds + Energy Torrent.
An argument could be made for any of the APP sets. It really depends on your playstyle.
Ice would be worth considering, especially if you want some S/L defense from Ice Shield and you stay more at range. Two AoE Attacks including a cone. A fast single target attack. And Hibernate, a wonderful "panic button" power that has saved me from faceplants time and time again. Think of it as Frozen Time.
If you plan to spend a lot of time in melee, then Earth's Seismic Smash makes up for Plant's lack of single target damage, and throws in a hold, too. Rock Armor is ugly but has the best S/L numbers. Fissure recharges more quickly than other AoEs but has a very short range. And the heal/HP boost can be a lifesaver.
LOCAL MAN! The most famous hero of all. There are more newspaper stories about me than anyone else. "Local Man wins Medal of Honor." "Local Man opens Animal Shelter." "Local Man Charged with..." (Um, forget about that one.)

I started thinking about starting a plant/time troller. While I was playing around on Mids I couldn't decide on a mastery to go with.. I wanna go with a set that goes with my theme I have brewing in my head (a guy with a tech-ish suit on that lets him control time around him and... I have no clue on how I can work the plant control in, but I will!!.. Somehow..
Any-who, any ideas on what mastery I should go with?.. Ive thought earth and primal. There are things about each I like, and there are things about each I don't like. Just cant make up my mind..
Suggestions?
