This build is designed to maximize Grover's CC potential. The primary weakness of this build, as well as Grover in general, is the lack of mobility which exposes him as an easy target for flank classes.

This guide is a work in progress and is coming from someone who has 30 hours in Paladins. Please assume everything I say here is awful advice.

Notes

The most important part of this build is Chop Down 5, reducing the CD on Crippling Throw by 3 seconds (43%). However, the rest is focused around maximizing Grover's healing potential. Verdant Expanse 5 maximizes the range of Blossom, allowing you to play farther back than normal, and Fatalis/Perennial 2 give extra cooldown reduction on healing. Gentle Breeze is more of a filler perk in my mind, but I also believe you could be very successful running Fatalis/Perennial 1 and Gentle Breeze 3.

Notes

Chronos 3 is very important in maximizing healing output and CC potential, and it should always be what you max first, and Nimble is essential to makeup for the limited mobility provided by Vine Whip. However, the last two items are game situational and come down to personal preference. Life steal is good when you can easily disengage without being chased, losing your anti-heal. Haven offers a bit of extra durability, which is useful against teams that constantly dive you. And of course, Wrecker is always a safe option to help bring down shields.

Deep Roots Fun Police - Crowd Control is not a fun gameplay mechanic
