So I went looking for a social group for farmers and I was totally aghast to find nothing! So I made one.

General discussion on how to farm, what to farm, what gives good rewards, or anything else your heart contents.

I think I might need to join this to learn the ways of the farm just so I can teach everyone in the AE how it's supposed to be done.

What's a good farming build? I never take the same powerset twice so it'd better be something I haven't tried before.

So now we just need a Ranchers group so we can have range wars.

But do we want to base the war on Shane or Oklahoma!?

I have run into a lot of people farming in AE that know nothing about farming.

Think of farming as soloing a map set for a team. It helps you better understand our psyche.

Blueside, Fire/Kins are popular because containment is incredible, and kinetics gives them the tools to maximize performance. They take a while to bloom, which is why I've yet to level a fire/kin. (that and I play almost exclusively redside). However, you can farm on a lot of characters. Archery blasters perform quite well with the right build. There's always the spines/fire scrapper, that can be fairly impressive as well.

However, I still recommend fire/kin because unlike the others, you can perform well with just SOs.

Redside, Brutes and Dominators are the farmers. Both typically require some serious investment, especially Dominators. The generic SS/WP is fun to play, and is quite powerful, due to its flexibility. The Fire/Psi dominator can still perform well (despite all the cries about the PSW nerf). However, you are looking at some serious IO investment, especially on the current market.
