Obscure Blade

On the other hand, you can stack it with Petrifying Grasp, Howling Twilight, and even somewhat unreliably with Dark Servant since Fluffy has a hold too.

Ice Control is about debuffing and "soft control". Sounds like you want hard control and to not bother with debuffing. Have you tried Earth Control, or Dominators? Earth Control is mostly hard control (and lots of it!), Dominator Earth Control is almost as strong in control as the Controller version thanks to its reliance on pseudopets, and Dominators have a secondary full of attacks, not debuffs. You might like an Earth/ Dominator; Earth/Fire, say.

Hasten. You might also consider Hover/Fly, so you can stay out of melee range.

I found it a lot less survivable before Dominators were rebalanced. The problem was that often your controls would expire before the enemies did. These days Doms do enough damage to kill off most or all of the targets before Flashfire wears off, and the single target Hold is plenty of control when there are only 1-2 targets left.

Nope. Which means Tornado is best used when you are down to that last Boss or EB/AV.

I got one in the Pocket D giveaways. Since my original idea for a name, Trample was taken, I went with Taurus Malleus instead.

Take the single target immobilize, it has -kb. That should help. And it's useful for stopping running bosses/AVs/EBs anyway, whom you don't want running out of your Static Field and building endurance back up.

Take Roots, the AoE immobilize, it does significantly more damage than other AoE immobilizes and synergizes well with Seeds of Confusion. Let the Confused mobs clump up, then immobilize them so they stay there.

The sleep Spore Burst is skippable.

Spirit Tree is fairly skippable, especially on a /Rad since you have a self heal.

Spores of Confusion: Take and slot up immediately, it's your signature power.

Vines: Long recharge, short hold duration, low accuracy. Useful for emergencies and Boss holding if you are willing to heavily slot it.

Carrion Creepers: An effective and extremely cool power, take it. Does damage, helps with confuse resistant enemies and takes the occasional alpha for you.

Fly Trap: An OK pet.

For Radiation Emission, you definitely want the three big debuffs; Radiation Infection, Enervating Field, and Lingering Radiation.

Accelerate Metabolism is an excellent buff.

Mutation and Fallout are optional; they are OK at what they do but if you aren't in a team they are useless, and if your teammates don't die they are also useless.

Choking Cloud: Not very useful on a Plant/Rad I'd think, although Fire/Rad and Elec/Rad do well with it I understand.

EM Pulse: A nice and very large Aoe Hold, I always take it.

I already mentioned Mace. I've also been considering something with Earth Control or Earth Assault.

It's known to be able to hit though a Paragon Protector's godmode defense.

Or take the single target immobilize; it has -kb. I took it on my Elec/Psi to make TK Thrust more usable (and stop runners); it works fine.

/Sonic or /Rad strike me as the most likely next target for MM secondary Proliferation. /Cold lags behind that since it has overlap with the previously proliferated /Storm.

Here's an idea I just had. First, give the Leader an innate taunt like Brunt "Punchvoke" that draws aggro each time they attack - that helps keep the pets alive. And second, give them an AT Inherent power called 'Inspiration' which acts sort of like Blaster Defiance/Brute Fury, but it boosts their pets damage instead of their own. The more they wade in and fight, the longer their pets live and the more damage the pets do.

Third try, made it to the tutorial zone before the computer locked again.

Sounds like it'll be there.
