Farming options

Actually I have been looking at the figures, and it seems that Plant / Thorns has alot to offer.... if this was slotted for +recovery and recharge would that be a better option?

I'll post a build shortly for people to critique

Just curious how well an AOE Fortunata fits into this list? Better than a Dom but not as fast as a Brute? I can see it maybe unable to keep up with a high Fury Brute, but it should be going faster than a Dom with 2 Assaults + Follow Up + Aim running.

Prob have same issues as my Archery/Mental blaster, has the dmg and the def and the rech but no way to root the mobs :/

Was it really a topic of my choosing?

I was under the impression that the title of the
thread confined it's content, silly me eh...

Oh, and please stop assuming that you are the
be-all and end-all Mr authority of that which takes
place in the forums. Your posts litter these forums
and i am yet to see someone thank you for your
comments.

Forts gets Fences.
Also you can not have both aim and follow up.

Umm, I'm pretty sure I have Follow Up and Aim on my melee Fort (unless this has changed recently since I haven't played it in ages). It's just NWs that can't get Follow Up and Build Up.

I could have sworn follow up got greyed out when i picked up aim. Thanks for the correction.

Yeah nothing has changed. You are able to get follow up and aim on a fort

Is a SS/SD Brute a viable build for farming? Got one up to lvl 24 and really don't want to do over at this point to roll a SS/Fire.

Yes, SS/SD and SS/Fire would be my top choices.

SS/Shield would be good, but the current /Shield favorite is Elec/Shield (two teleport powers + AAO = win). SS/Shield's heavy on endurance (I've got one, I know a few others with them as well.

On an unrelated note, my SS/Fire just clocked in at 642k inf/min with two people on the team. I'm sure that could pass 700-750k if I cranked up the difficulty and my teammate was actually assisting me (i.e. a Kin) instead of just doorsitting.

What are you guys farming? I saw someone mention Liberate but I have a feeling there are other missions out there that are better.

Most of the really high inf/min numbers are from cheatyface AE missions. In terms of non-broken farms, Liberate is about it. Some people run the Possessed Scientist boat mish, but its a little awkward and depends what kind of Scientists you get.

I thought the changes to AE had gutted the cheatyface mishes?

I have tried to run the Scientist boat mish on my Fire/Psi permadom and it's just really hard (it seems) at even +0/+8.

I tried farming a bunch of mish last night on different toons (all at +2/+8) and out of what I had available, my softcapped Elec / SD brute really did the best. But boy does he suck re single targets. 2nd best was prob my DM/SD soft-capped Scrapper. My Fire/Psi is on a different account and I couldn't test with him.

To minimize the downtime with rage, couldnt WM/Fire be a nice alternative? Crowd Control could be up quite often, has knockdown, and I believe does more dmg than footstomp. Only downside would be positioning yourself for it.

Alternative, yes. The positioning would be a pain since Footstomp's massive radius means you can just plop yourself right in the middle of a spawn and go nuts.

It would work fine, just SS/FA. WM/SD would also work, just the same again, not as well as SS/SD.
