Hi all, I'm wanting to make a dom but not sure what would do good. It'll be for solo and team play both. First I was really thinking about elec/psi, but from what I've read it seems to be a weaker combo. So now I'm thinking of plant/psi. Any thoughts on how a plant/psi will perform both team and solo play? Or maybe even a different combo all together. Also if a plant/psi would be a good choice should I aim for soft capped S/L/E defense, or maybe 1 small purple away, or not even worry about defense that much with plant?

Thanks for any advice!

I had a marvelous time with plant/fire. Plenty of control and damage. You'll have your solo and team ability. Prior to this combo, I had never made it past level 20 with a Dominator.

Um... the important thing to say about plant/psi is capped regen. Yes, 2000% is a fairly easy thing for this combo to attain. That said, i would build with ice mastery in mind. you get good aoe's to go with your combo, some Def, some resist and most importantly an HP clickie to go with all that regen (think regen scrapper). From there build rech and defense.

It's one of the sturdiest Dom combos out there and very easy/fun to play.

My Ice/Psi dom can reach those numbers too, it's called Drain Psyche, Plant Domination has nothing to do with getting the regen numbers except for maybe bonuses. Even then, a vast chunk of them come from Drain Psyche.

Ok, but the reason for stating it as I did was simply you have more ways to get there. You can double stack with Spirit Tree for close to 600% regen (pre IO and incarnate) which is available to the whole team. This allows for the player to miss a few on their DP or to even stay outside of melee range with a fairly high regen rate if he wanted to.

DeathHarvester specifically asked about Plant/Psi and survivability and I (obviously too briefly) shot him a response to that question.

Honestly, for me there are much more interesting things to say about /Psi than it has DP so you can regen lots. It has a large amount of mitigation in the set in -rech, immob, stuns, kb and the -regen/recovery in DP.
