Best thematic pairing for Nature Affinity?


Agent White

I'm loving the look of NA, so I'm definitely rolling one up tomorrow. My question is what's the best pairing for it, theme-wise? I think Plant Control is the best, but I'm open to suggestions. AT is irrelevant. I'd roll a Dom, Corr, or even an MM if someone can make a better case.

Not sure how you'll do a Dom....?

Going Plant/Nature Troller myself. Going to be a special project at testing something. I'm a sucker for stupid thematic tripfalls so the combo might suck, but that wouldn't be the first for me.

I really wanted to do Water/Nature Corr for Iso, but the stupid Devs hate me

I am looking forward to tomorrow myself. On Beta I rolled a Plant/NA Controller and was very pleased with the result. For a Corruptor you could go NA/WB (water blast) and for an MM I think I'd try BM/NA since both sort of stick with the nature theme.

Ah... Beast Mastery does seem like the best fit for an MM, but I already have a Beast/Trick Arrow in the works.

Yeah, I guess I can't make a Dom with this set... probably going with Plant Control, then. Haven't rolled up a 'troller in a while.

Just to echo Voo: Not sure how you're gonna do a Dom with NA.

Edit: OK, I suck at reading comprehension apparently. I missed the CAN'T of that statement up there. Move on, nothing to read here.

Thematic pairings?

Well, lesse:
Controllers
Plant/Nature - the most obvious pairing. All plants all the time.
Earth/Nature - All those plants and mushrooms grow in the earth!
Fire/Nature - As said, forest fires!
Ice/Nature - Forests get winter too!
Darkness/Nature - Forests can be pretty scary places!
Gravity/Nature - Controlling natural forces! (my personal pick and what I'll be making tomorrow)

Defender/Corrupter
Nature/Archery - A 'good' Poison Ivy type
Fire Blast/Nature - Forest fire thing again
ice/Nature - See above
Radiation Blast/Nature - Toxic forest
Dark Blast/Nature - Haunted forest (witch?)
Sonic/nature - again 'natural' forces
Water Blast - Water + plants = Grow!
Beam Rifle/Nature - Solar powered tech!

Mastermind
Beast/nature - most 'natural' pairing
Necromancy/Nature - a 'Dark' Druid type
Demons/nature - See above
Thugs/nature - Another 'poison ivy' style variety.
Robot/Nature - More a concept of opposites attracting, like the Devoured IDF bots, or even tech that controls nature, etc.

just generic concepts that can fit with most of these, druids, witches, wizards, environmental scientists/robots made by them, hippies, nature mutants, hunters 'attuned' to nature. Honestly I think Nature is really one of the best 'concept' sets they've put out lately, it really can pair easily with a -lot- of power sets without seeming that 'far fetched'.

If you're going to go all crazy on the pairings, I'll throw out Mind/Plant troller then.

With some colorizing, you can make some very trippy visuals.

Great list, Agent!

Of all of the non-standard pairings, I like Darkness/NA the best, but I already have a Dark Dom at lvl 35. Earth/NA is also a natural fit, but I already have an Earth/Thermal.

Grr.... it's been Live for a while, but because of a weird internet issue I'm having, I can't get in and buy it!

I blame Voodoo!

I ended up going with a Nature/Rad Defender. Been a while since I rolled up a Shield. Feels good to be back!

Give your Nature a dark palette and pair it up with Demon Summoning, Necro or Dark Control. (IMO, probably a bit frilly for that jungle Merc/AR vibe)

Some have talked about going the Water Blast route as well.

Surprised no one mentioned electric. Lightning seems to fit nicely with nature.
