Plant/Time is awesome (brag thread!)

Just managed to complete a solo MoITF run on virtue with my Plant/Time controller (even level/x8, no insps, no temps, no lore pets).

Took 3 hours. Sadly, I missed the Master badge because, perhaps foolishly, I let a couple people tag along to soak xp/shards and watch the final fight. Unfortunately, though I warned them to stay in the air... one got nuked by an ambush that decided to go for him, rather than me.

Very sad, but I will run the ITF again for the badge next week. I have a pretty polished strat now, so I'm pretty confident that I'll pull it off - only had one hairy moment where the RNG decided to nail me a couple times.

Very pumped anyway! Quite an achievement, I think!

Just watched a couple of your vids... awesome. I thought I'd give a pylon a bash after seeing yours...

...8:06 (no insps, no lore pets, no temps). Impressed that I can manage it, but a pretty poor time really. I can definitely do better though - lost a lot of damage because fly trap got munched twice and I got hit and knocked down for a bit a couple times. Also forgot to fire off Judgement, which should have sped things up. Maybe I could shave a minute off?

My plant/cold could probably do this much quicker, but wouldn't be as good doing the ITF, I suspect.

Thanks alot. I think I'll be reverting to a variation of that build I used in those videos soon but first I want to get a solo MoLG done first. I think going back to mace will increase my dmg output and I may finally be able to solo the kronos titan.

As far as the debuffing of AV's cold will do better. I'm not sure on the tactics you used on romi and the nictus but that's where elec/ did really well for me.

For the pylon I like to position myself either on the opposite side of my pets or stay out of range so I absorb all the AoE's and the pets smack it around. Keeping the attacks and debuffs flowing will keep the pylon focused on you.

One thing I noticed is that you're making great use of your patron pet - now, I have a *lot* more recharge than you do because of Chronoshift and it would be a simple matter to have them up permanently (although it would mean a rather large change to my build...).

Any idea how much extra DPS they dish out for you?

Between Poisonous Ray and the tarantula it is a decent amount. My fastest time with mace is 3:10 while my fastest with stone is 3:30. I've never just tried the tarantula by itself to see but it helps IF it can survive. Between how much Lusca infuriated me with constantly killing my pet and wanting to solo the LG made me switch to stone. Stone is alot safer since EE is perma and I'm sitting at the hp cap and SS is crazy good dmg but sadly against a GM SS isn't so great. I wish I could fit provoke in the build to keep things on me and cut out some of that annoying GM fleeing and I just may be able to if I switch to Agility alpha.
