Have you tried SuckerPunches online builder, might help you out in terms of formatting.

I have, but I have no idea what order I took the powers in. Since I'm looking for a new build that bit's not terribly relevant though I guess is it? =) The real trick is that I don't know what I'm doing with builds. In general I just look through the set bonuses, find some I like in the categories the power can take, and try to get as many from that set as I can fit into the power.
That's basically the extent of my "build planning" skills. So, nearly all my characters need extraordinary amounts of build help of the kind that sucker punch's just can't give. Mids would help I've been told. But it doesn't exist for me so not an option.

here is a defense build i just threw together. it is softcapped with just scorpion shield, and goes almost up to 50% s/l defense with hover and maneuvers running.
it might run a little end heavy, though i have only played that combo up to the teens.

In general I like damage first and survivability a distant second. As an example, this character had three debt badges before level 24 (possibly 21 I forget) and picked up the third held/mezzed badge by 27. I die, I rez, and I kill things. Fun with alot of procs is sort of how I aim for damage since many of my powers have a low initial damage value.|

I don't care about permadom, I tend to forget that it even exists and I'll be running for 5 minutes with it available but not triggered and go, hey I need end POP. Or I save it for when I need to get out of mez and don't have a breakfree handy. I use domination about once or twice per mission regardless of how often it is up.
Is that blasphemy? I'm not sure. Might be.

right now I confuse->frost breath->(they are gathered by now)roots->jump in Frost Sword circle->jump out roots and then ST-down the stragglers with strangler, ice bolt and ice blast.
I have been quite impressed with the flytrap, he's actually quite decent for damage and as a meat shield. Also, he can take achilles heel which is extraordinarily handy, especially once you get down to the last few enemies. I've used those on my controller and I'm trying to get some villain side. Might have to burn merits on it.
On Carrion Creepers, that slotting is really not so good. One thing I know is that the pseudopet doens't apply all bonuses to all actions. You want teh HOs in there. The bonuses from that set will only apply to the immobilize power, not to the vines, the knockdowns, or any others. But an HO Acc/Damage applies to all of them. I think the creeper pet has two Immobilizes though so that's better than most, which is why I have trap of the hunter in mine. But I use them as a key damage source so for me, they really need the damage, the recharge, and procs.
Some good ideas in that build though! Got one that is less survivable and more aggressive?

Here's a quick one I came up with that focuses on offense. With Assault running you've got a 30% damage boost full-time. That along with over 70% global recharge and the damage boost from Soul Drain means you can lay down a lot of hurt fast.
It kind of pains me to take a build so close to perma-dom and not push it over the top, but you said that's not a priority.

If the trade off is lower damage for more control then to me it's not worth it. Giving me a permadom is a bit like giving a parapalegic a Bugati Veyron: without feet you really can't drive it properly.|

Now if it's like that 400dps fire/fire build Frosticus is floating in the Archetypes forum the permadom is just a way to maintain endurance to support the damage. That I could get behind.
I like the build. Clear spots for longterm upgrades include swapping purples for one of the Posi sets and probably into Ice Sword and one of the ranged blasts as well. Level 50s for the common IOs. Hmm.
Stamina gets better numbers from the Performance shifter proc and the endmod, plus you get a wimpy set bonus out of the deal. If SuperSpeed is just a host for the -knockback I'd probably snag hover instead. I can get the stealth bonus from sprint with a +Stealth IO so hover can hold the zephyr and occasionally give me combat flight at a reasonable end cost.
I like this one. Works as is and gives me a clear path for long-term spending. Thank you!
