Hey guys my fire/kin troller is almost 50 but before starting to work at a build I need to choose between stone and fire mastery, I know the differences but which one is better for a farming troller?
I'm not considering other epic pools because nobody takes them but if you think psion mastery is good you can tell me, I just would like to have an hint then I'll post my build
thanks

For farming? Stone.

I would recommend searching the forums for a build. Fire/Kin/Stone a very popular combo and there are a few good builds you can find. I would look at one of these instead of trying to do it myself for the first try. It's not a particularly easy build to figure out on your own.

For a farming Fire/Kin? Stone. Fissure recharges faster than other AoE attacks, and the stun stacks with Flashfire. You will already be in melee range, so the short range won't matter. Plus, there is a Defense-based armor and a hard-hitting melee single-target attack in Seismic Smash.

Thanks for the replies, I'm going for stone mastery but have 2 other questions: do I need hurl boulder? will my farming speed be reduced if I don't take this attack?
Should I slot fire cages for damage or immobilize?

Hurl Boulder is too slow to be useful in farming. You need fast AoE attacks, not slow single target attacks. Most folks go with Fissure, Stone Armor, Earth's Embrace and sometimes Seismic Smash.

Defense cap is where its at

Fire provides resist shield where Earth provides defense shield

The one thing I prefer about Fire is the self rez for those times when I eff up when soloing, and a wakie doesnt work because I'm in the middle of the mobs ><
