plant/time/ice

Hi all,

OK, I wasn't going to mess with the new time power, but the power of a pun in the name caused me to roll a plant/time. She's pretty fun to play, actually. Below is the build I worked out for her.

comments and questions:

Not sure about some power choices. Plants seems more ranged, but I have Time's Juncture, mostly because I couldn't think of anything else to take at lvl 18. Fighting? No. Leadership? Maybe, but those toggles are end hungry.

Spirit Tree at 30 was another, what do I take here choice? I don't really like Triage on my thugs/traps MM (is it really doing anything? I can't tell) so I didn't slot it much.

Ice ancillary is partly for frozen armor and ice storm, partly because I have so many fire toons I was hoping to stay away from it.

Ran into Rule of 5 with ice storm so only 4 slotted Posi and stuck in the Pacing of the Turtle. Maybe I could send that slot somewhere else.

Does Temporal selection need some slots? Not used to ST buffs.

Does Seeds need six slots? Maybe Malaise doesn't need the sixth IO. THe def is nice, but only have like 9% ranged def isn't going to help much. I'm marketplace challenged, so putting the purple confuse set here is a low probability option.

So, no comments at all? I found the perfect low budget plant/time/ice build?

If you could maybe put up the Mid's option that shows the powers and slotting may help. Many people look at these on comps (like work) that don't have Mids.

What do you want out of the build? Do you want something with lots of defense (range would be better, IMO). Do you want lots of recharge so you powers are up all the time?

A mix of both is even possible.

To answer some of your questions/concerns:

Just because TJ is a pbaoe toggle doesn't mean you have to play in melee. It has a radius of 25ft, afterall.

Time covers your healing/regen needs, I think. Skip Spirit Tree.

Right now EVERYONE's going for Power Boost to get softcapped defense with Farsight. I personally went Psi Mastery for perma Mez protection (possible with the build I have on my earth/time). Why else do you want Ice aside from it being the polar opposite (pun intended) of Pyre?

If you can't slot the full posi set in ice storm, don't bother. Frankenslot it with dmg/rech IOs. It doesn't really need a lot of acc.

Temporal Selection and slots - all depends on how many people you want to buff with it. My earth/time will be able to keep it on 4 teammates (or 3 + my Stoney). With just the base slot and global recharge you could probably keep 2 people buffed.

If you're not going for range defense, seeds doesn't need that 6th slot.

Here's a revision of your build based on my earth/time:
