the real problem is people's definition of farming.
farming isnt just running the same mission over and over. if you are out dev content to do at 50 which i've hit on two chars now, all that's left is to repeat the same newspaper/radio/mayhem/safeguards and tf's over and over. that is grinding and to many - farming.

I'm guessing from the snarky answer, you think farming is highly entertaining?
With the advent of Mission Architect, we have the opportunity to add a staggering amount of content to play. Far too often, it's used to farm, It's not playing an engaging plot. It abusing the system. Farming isn't playing, it's abusing the system. One isn't playing the game, they're playing with themselves.

Official farming thread over that way ----->
If you want to whine and try and impose your views on others then do it there were we can ignore you propper. Otherwise stick to the topic of the thread.
Speaking of that, yea I would have to aggree with what others have said. Shield/SS/Pyro would be most damage but quite hard on the blue bar. Shield/Fire/Pyro is much cheeper to make decent.

Fire/SS/Pyre A great solo combo.

This.
[/ QUOTE ]
The only place I think a Shield/SS/Pyre would do better is in pure AoE damage. While nice for larger spawns (The types you find in farms) you lose a large amount of solo capability that Fire offers.
Team farm I would vote Shield/SS/Pyre but for a solo damage tank it is very hard to beat Fire/SS/Pyre.

[/ QUOTE ]
Because this thing needed to get bigger.
I didn't actually use the labs much as I leveled mine up and farm with it. Mostly just burn inspirations. They drop *so* quick when you are farming solo its tough not to be damage capped with huge amounts of defense, resistance, acc and plenty of blues/greens to the point where I wonder why I even took aid self.
But yeah, if you are using the MA, Superadine labs will take care of any end issues. If you are anywhere else, your kill speed should be enough to let you burn through inspirations like a madman.

Funny you should mention BBQ.
I ran out of the best darn marinade I've ever tried, Moloka'i Roadside Steak Marinade and was just about to order 24 more bottles of the stuff.
Just got a nice email back from Dexter with the order form. Cheaper to order 8 bottles at a time, but I think I'll want a full 24 for the season. I recommend trying it, Dexter will be glad to help you out. Guy made the stuff out of necessity on a Moloka'i fishing trip.
Been buying it from him ever since. Even after I left Hawaii.

Oh, I understood it. It was a comment to incite me because he didn't like my opinion of farming. Otherwise his comment made no sense: Why would he infere that MMO's were a waste of time if he played the game and posted on the forums?
I should have expected the insults. When I originally posted I wasn't in a great mood, and really didn't make a proper arguement. I looked like a forum troll.
For that I apologize.
I must spend more time on my posts.
I do not like farming, it's just going through the motions without actually appreciating the story. Those that did so really didn't affect my gameplay much, until Mission Architect. It was full of so many farms devoid of any story and made only to gain the most xp/tickets/badges. I really have to think: is THIS the player community at large? Am I to expect that we just want the biggest baddest pile of data in the game? Or make a original, throughout character with a rich story and one shaped by his/her experiences against those that would make their lives of the exploitation of others?
The gameplay is building your character and actually working one's way up to Protector of the City. Truly experiencing the road to a true Hero (or master villain, redside).
The devs are spending time to undo the damage to the system they works so hard for, delaying newer stuff coming down the pipe. Further, do we really don't care about any of the actually content coming, or do you want to grind away again and again against Dreck, Werewolves or whatever the newest farm fest of the month is?

--The Question, JLU
While I understand the "anti-farm" people...how many times do I have to go through the same content over and over and over to get a character to 50?
That being said...I also partially agree AE is ruining the game to an extent. Here is an example. Last night I was in a TF and the leader says he has a guy coming that sounded "new" the guy didnt know what a TF was. Sad.
If you wanna get people away from farming (at least the people who wanna do things other than farm at higher levels) CREATE MORE END GAME CONTENT! Makea REAL raiding systems..make differnt mobs to raid. Instances of raiding...make it for 2, 3, 4 , 5 teams whatever that have to work together. Make them need some kind of strategy to beat the mobs.
What else is there to do at 50? There are only so many times I can do the same ITF, TF etc etc before bordom sets in and I decide...mmm...I saw x with a right handed laser firing with exploding popcorn toon...wonder what it would be like to play one of those. Im tired of the grind...lemme farm one to 50...spend money on it and try it out. So here I go again on a farm...
The other problem I can see is if you need a ton of money for purples, pvp sets, whatever... how do you get that money...farm farm farm (80% of the people anyways) or manipulate the market (i.e. rip people off (ok that may be a TINY BIT extreme so sue me)
IDK what to do...jsut voice my opinion on what I see. I dont think Im wrong...but hey as my wife had told me Ive been wrong 3 MAYBE 400 times this week.
/e takes podium down and walks away
One tanker build that i have found surprisingly effective at solo farming Cimerorans on the wall is my Invul / Axe tanker.
Capped resistance with Tough ( 90% ) renders Cims harmless and the axes powers Whirling Axe ( 10 targets ), Pendulum ( 5 targets ) kills the romans at a decent pace. Maybe not the fastest farmer but it is very decent and relaxing.
I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
