Plant/dark/fire

Madamme Mayhem · 05-03-2012 11:56 PM

After watching The blair witch project i was all

'Hmm evil witch in the woods....how could i make that.....'

And well i came up with plant/dark/fire (and im gonna change the colouring of plant to black so they look like strange dark tentacle things!)

I now have 3 low level doms - dark/psi. grav/dark. plant/dark.

Im not entirely sure on the dark/psi, the grav/dark isnt going to be that much of a solo powerhouse. I like characters to be able to hold their own and plough enemies down and i do believe that plant/dark/fire is capable of that.

SO......

1- i would like more dmg in roots if needed
2-gathering shadows + creepers = woo!......
3-is the slotting in creepers good enough? I have never used it before so im not sure if the rech is over slotted.
4-is it worth slotting/taking melt armor
5-i usually take tough for my doms but plant has that much control it doesnt seem needed.
6-will this build tear enemies apart?

Vysires · 05-08-2012 12:52 AM

Just a few comments on the 2nd build. 3 lvl 50 IOs isn't needed in Hasten, two is good enough. I tend to prefer a Damage IO in Carrions creepers rather then the explosive strike proc. As far as the Roots slotting, roots isn't bad damage like most AoE immobilizes, but most Dom's have plenty of damage, so I tend to not slot it for damage. I've found that it's a good place to put the ATIO set. The 5 non-proc ATOs gets 8.75 or 10% recharge. You can then put the Grav Anchor proc in the 6th slot. The ATIO proc is really nice in Midnight grasp. Gives it a very nice proc rate. Just put a 6th slot into Midnight grasp, plus the proc also have a bit of recharge enhancement.

The reason to put the ATIO in roots is then you can get another 6.25 set somewhere. One way you could do that is put a decimation into life drain. If you want to keep some heal enhancement in there, you could pull a slot from Stamina and put a heal IO into a 6th slot in life drain. If you boost a lvl 50 heal IO up to 50+5 it gives 53% heal enhancement. Means your getting 15% heal instead of 18%, but those changes, ATIO in roots, and decimation in life drain gives another 8.75% global. Is it needed, maybe not, but it's an option.
