Spine/Elec vs Spine/Fire

Which 1 will be a better for farming?


Opinion is heresy.

Personally I like Spine/Elec, but I'm not much of a solo farmer and I havn't really enjoyed playing my Spines/Fire, despite getting to 50. My reasoning is mostly based on surivivability... with elec, your tier 9 is a godmode that prolongs your survivability, while with fire, your tier 9 is a self rez. Furthermore, Elec is now very good with end usage, which I've found to be a problem, even with consume, for /fire.

The tradeoff is that your heal recharges slower with /elec than /fire, and your burst damage isn't as good, though with lightning reflexes, your DPs can be better in the long run.

Spines/Fire will be a little bit faster. Survivability won't be a problem if you build for it, my Spines/Fire didn't have problems soloing boss farms and now 8 man 54 demon farms are even easier.

Spines/Elec is as good as Spines/fire if built right.

Build for regen an get conserve power and that perfection epic power an it's be very nice.

Elec is also new nd shiny which is why you want to make it Making spines/fire is boring and old imo.

Go spines/elec and enjoy the customisation and fun

Conserve power on ELA is as pointless as aid self on /Regen. Power sync takes 30 seconds to recharge with 3 recharge SOs and lightning reflexes. If you cant keep endurance for 30 seconds with stamina and energize, you need to reevaluate the slotting of your powers.

I just had to point that out. Everything else is true though.

To get physical perfection which IS needed you have to pick from the epic power pool.

Either Conserve power or Focused accuracy then choose PP.

Focused accuracy uses alot of endurance (0.78) So Conserve power is needed. Or if you don't choose FA you have to choose Conserve power, it's a circle can you see what i'm saying?

Choosing CP is a great power to have in long fights or against sappers.

Just because a toon has CP doesn't mean the build ****, it means the toons owner isn't stupid.

Elec doesn't actually need any help against Sappers because it has enormous EndDrain resistance. One thing you could do, though, is totally skipping Stamina. Between Power Sink, Energize, Conserve Power and Physical Perfection you shouldn't have any end problems whatsoever.
