Overview

You can call forth and control the power of plants and flora to control your foes. Animate and control vines, roots and spores to entrap, entwine and utterly dominate your foes. Many Plant Control powers are only effective if the target is near the ground. Plant Control is a primary powerset for Controllers and Dominators.

This powerset was added to the Controller options in Issue 12.

Powers

The following are powers in the Plant Control powerset.

Carrion Creepers

You can create a Creeper patch at a targeted location. The patch will snag foes, slowing their movement, and preventing them from jumping or flying. Additionally, a Creeper Vine will burst from under each live and defeated foe in the area and start attacking your enemies. Creeper Vines do minimal damage, but they can knock down your enemies and its poisonous thorns can slow your foes.

Entangle

Fly Trap

You can summon a giant carnivorous Fly Trap plant beast. Fly Trap may be an understatement, as this plant beast has a taste for flesh. The Fly Trap will viciously attack any nearby foes, biting, hurling poisonous Thorns, and even casting its own Entangle Roots. The Fly Trap will fight by your side and can be healed and buffed like any teammate.

The Venus Fly Trap is resistant to Smashing, Toxic, and Psionic Damage. It also has a Defense bonus versus Psionic Attacks. It is, however, slightly vulnerable to Negative Energy, Fire, and Cold Damage.

Seeds of Confusion

You throw a handful of seeds from a rare Baffle plant at your foes. The seeds spread out in a wide cone and release a dusty chaff that contain a number of alkaloids and hallucinogenic compounds. Foes that come into contact with these seeds become violently confused and will turn and attack each other, ignoring you and all your allies. You will not receive any Experience Points for foes defeated entirely by Confused enemies.
