2 questions (plant/ta & earth/kin)

All,

I have 2 questions I want opinions on.

1) All things being equal (range capped near perma hasten plant/trick arrow controller) which ONE of the following unslotted powers would you take? Glue arrow, poison gas arrow, or fire armor?

I am leaning towards fire armor with a single end reducer, simply because my build currently has both PGA and GA and yet I rarely activate either.

2) All thing being equal (earth/kin/stone near perma hasten with 1 siphon speed) would you prefer 45% smashing/lethal defense and only 18% ranged defense, or would you prefer 39% s/l def with 40% ranged def?

I lean towards the latter, but with the math of defense threshholds, that last 5% is painful to give up sometimes.


Thanks,

Lewis

1. Fire armor- will help with anything that gets through your defense.
2. The latter makes sense to me.

For the former, PGA or Fire armor depending. RoTP beore both if you don't have that already.

For the kin, the latter, then take Barrier to Tier 4, which has a low end value of 5% defense.

For my Plant/TA it would be fire armor but then, with the exception of Flash Arrow, I took NO powers that reduced the damage that the mobs do to each other.

Glue's -rech, no thanks.
PGA's -damage, no thanks
Flash Arrow has an End reducer in it and that's all. I use it almost exclusively for the -perception

A self rez on any squishy if you are doing incarnate trials is AMAZING (I'm looking at you MoM). A self rez on trollers makes me happy dance and RotP is sexay as all get out.

I'd agree with the majority assuming you aren't giving up too much recharge going either way. If there's a decent loss of recharge on either way I'd heavily favor the other. But then again, I actually think using inspirations is just fine so once I'm within one purple of softcap I'm happy.
