You should consider Franken slotting. As in throwing in multi aspect IOs from various sets.
For example in healing flames you have 3 heal and 3 recharge. That gives you a 99.08% enhancement on both. But if you slotted the Heal/endurance/recharge ffrom each of the 6 healing sets you could enhance all 3 aspects by 97.37%. Or you could add the Heal/endurance/recharge and Heal/recharge from Numinas and Doctored wounds , for a bonus of 91.78% to heal and recharge and 42.40% to endurance. (and get the first of the two set bonuses to boot)
The same can be done with any shield. 4 Res/End will get you to 95.19% End and 56.13% Res.
You can get a lot more efficiency out of the build that way.
A 2 aspect IO gives 10/16 of a single aspect IO on each value
A 3 aspect IO gives 8/16 of a single aspect IO on each value
And a 4 aspect IO gives 7/16 of a single aspect IO on each value

Well i finaly got round to installing mid's, dont know why i havn't before, it's a great little program 
Here's my first attempt at a build, only slotted common IO's at the moment cos i still havn't got my head around set's yet 
I dont know if i will be able to farm with this build, but hopefully he will survive a bit longer, what ya think

Well i tried this build out and it suck's and i need to respec again, i have only got 2 respecs left so i want to get it right this time.
I have spent hours on mid's trying out different IO set's, but to be honest i dont know what i am doing, things were so much easier when the best you could get was 50++ SO's slotted, i really need help, has anyone got a build they could share with me
I tried a bit of fast frankensloting (with out considering price or avalibility), with the same power/slots you have (so not respect is needed). It could not improve the resistance much, but many of the attacks have gained a nice boost.
Try and take a look at it and se if it gives you some ideas about improve a future build.

Oh and I forgot this...
Now if it is simple a specific damage type that you are having problems with and you have access to a base with crafting facilities, you can craft temporary buffs to cover any weaknesses.
Smashing: Silver + Regenerative Flesh
Lethal: Ceramic Armor Plate + Fortune
Cold: Hydraulic Piston + Spirit Thorn
Energy: Temporal Analyzer + Never Melting Ice
Negative Energy: Kinetic Weapon + Spirit Thorn
Psychic: Mathematic Proof + Ruby
Toxic: Hydraulic Piston
Bumping this thread because I have just reactivated my account after a very long break from the game.
I didn't manage to work out a build due to a catastrophic pc meltdown, wich left me unable to play the game until now (it blew up and I couldn't afford a new pc)
Well I am back now and I see the forums have merged, so can anyone help with a build?
as I use a mac now I can't use mids, but the build is the same as I posted before.
I want to farm for inf and get a few levels on my new toons on a second account, I see now you can make your own missions so would it be better to just make a farmable mission in MA using mobs that won't give me much trouble, allthough I know nothing about MA and I don't know what mobs lol
Is it possible to farm with FM/FA ?, i have a lvl 50 and would love to turn him into a farming brute, but i am not sure how to, or if it is even possible, if not could i at least make him less squishy, i fitted him out with common IO's but he is still very fragile, can anyone help me ?
Oh and i want to keep recall freind, if it's possible
FM/FA 1
FM/FA 2
Many thanks
Twisted
