I dont mind purples on farmers. Makes them so they can do SFs easier so they do not have just a single purpose. I use 5 armegeddon, I skip the damage one and include the proc and also the FF +recharge. Higher average damage that way.

Quick question for a few of you. How do you generally build your SS/FAs for survivability? Been gone for a while, and when I made mine AE farming was still the big thing so I was able to use him against weak fire only mobs and was designed to do so. So, he has capped fire res and nothing else in the way of protection aside from base resists and a quick heal.

I'm able to run the demon ship farm okay at +0/x8 with no bosses, but I'm pretty sure things could be more profitable if he wasn't so squishy.

well for nems i basically built for as much +rech and +HP as i could without gimping my build...but if i run AE i tend to build for +rech as well as some s/l def...30% makes a huge difference in survivability...i was able to solo those old 52 maniac bosses solo with ease..but def vs nems generally is weak due to stacked vengeance so moar Hp if u farm nems

And don't be surprised if your ELM toon takes so long to kill a boss that you'll end up draining all his end before he dies... That's why I stopped playing my ELM Brute.
I'm not saying he couldn't be right. I'm saying I won't ever trust anything he tells me. There's a difference. After all, I took OneWhoBinds input.


@Rylas

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.

Which Nems cast veng? So I can kill them first :-)

Ehm, you generally want the ones casting veng to die last, so as few mobs as possible get buffed by veng.

It's the Nemesis Lts, though. But if you kill them before any of the minions/bosses in a spawn, you'll have an entire spawn fully veng'd. Not good.

Farming normally I find the Lts die about halfway through a spawn, so only the bosses/one or two Lts get Veng. Since its only huge +def against melee/ranged, you can still wipe them out spamming AoEs.

Thanks a lot Silas, I always wondered why the last few in the Nesesis mob were so hard to kill. My fire/kin thanks you!
