Broken Voltage

 

Posted

Greetings everyone, first off I would like to thank for clicking on my thread....
I have about 3 bil to spend on a fire/kin build.. But my problem is I don't know to much about them... Well I do know ALOT about them but I'm terrible at build building.

So yea I was wondering if anyone could post me or make me a nice farming build for 3bill..

Thanks in Advance,

well its a nice build..just to comment on a couple of things

a farm build with weave and mnanevers?...nah!

the resistance from tough and fire sheild is enough..id pick up cj, and sj over that....place your lotg in cj .

i know your going the defense route but strictly from a farm build...its not needed..the mobs are easy and trying to soft cap defense on farm builds is fine on shield tanks but on a fire/kin is just a waste

you wanna maximize recharge not maximize defense..this way mobs die faster and your xp skyrockets..not cause you dont wanna be hit

Although you said you have 3 bil to spend, try the next one. It will cost you merely 100 mio so, if it doesn´t fit you, you could easily swap to the expensive builds.
I believe in softcapped defenses, in this case it´s just s/l run on the "defend warrior village"-mission by maria jenkins.

I run +2/8 with bosses missions to lvl up alts. I have not wait to wait for flashfire or something like that..just rush in with fire cages, FS, fissure, enjoy the +100% recharge bonus and concentrate on the bosses. 1 death in 30 missions is fine for me. And i think it´s fast. The lvl 49 power is free.. take teleport other, SB or another power if it fits you more..

Sidenote: Why put so much money in a farm build if you want to get money out of it? ^^

The weave and maneuvers was for the extra recharge for lotgs, really nothing more, I know what ya mean by the def not needed, I seldom need the def when I farm, unless I'm doing 54s with bosses, and man if a boss hits it's still like a ton of bricks coming down, so the defence helps a little.

I thought the influence cap was 2 billion. After three years, I'm not even half way yet.

Or you can maximize both defense and +rech and farm anything in the game....

But if you like resistance better.....more to ya! I use to think the same way until I changed to stone. It's the only epic that makes sense for a farmer.

Defense can actually make you not need to use Flashfire which can save a lot of time in the long run. Sure, you can get away with it without defense, but don't tell me you never die.

for bm mish you wont need ff ( although make sure you pick it up!)...you simply firecage them from distance first...they will draw out their ranged weapon which is the crossbow and then you run into melee range ..by the time they draw out the maces and swords their all dead and avoid the stuns from mace.

plus it saves on a long drawn out ff animation.which means more influ and xp quicker!...i mostly do ff for the dual mobs

oh and i dont die while farming..if you know your routine wel enough you wont die..dying is for nubs with new fire/kins..in fact if a duo my mish with my brothers fire/kin we duo battle madien as well as an a.v...and thats with no defense.she goes down easy to 2 fire/kins and i always take aggro first !

Battle Maiden may be one of the easiest AVs in the entire game. And it doesn't take two fire/kins. It takes only one slotted with SOs to take her down. I soloed her pre-inventions on mine.

Depends really. If you can do damage other than lethal from outside her broadsword range, she's a joke. Her crossbow attack is quite weak, and aside from lethal resistance, she has no real defenses.

Definitely more challenging if you cross swords with her though.
