Looking for a farming build both hero and villain side

I'm looking for a build on the hero and the villain side for farming.
Also looking for information on farming itself, I'm relatively new, so i don't know where to farm, or what to farm>?

I'm guessing you would farm enhancments and salvage/recipes.
What would be some methods here?

The flavor of the month hero side is the electic shield defence scrapper. Generally people get a repeatable mission at lvl 50 for xp and recipe drops and use that or they use AE for xp, inf and ticket rolls. Not too sure villian side it used to be super strenth fire i think.

The basic idea is you find a build which, suitably geared/tricked out, can obtain some resource at a particularly fast pace -- say, solo-farming missions at +4/x8 for inf or rare drops or whatever. Typically, recipes, salvage, or AE tickets, or some combination of those.

There are many different ways to go about this, and to some extent it's a question of which play styles you enjoy most. You should also take into account time to level to whatever level you want; for instance, you might prefer to level to 33, turn off XP, and farm AE for tickets, which you use for recipe rolls which would give you mostly level 30 (for 1-30s) and 33 (for everything else) rare recipes, which you can then craft.

In some cases, you might trade off some efficiency of farming for other traits, such as enjoyability of the play while doing the farming.

If you don't wanna invest too much in a farmer, I suggest rolling a SS/WP Brute or Fire/Kin Controller. Both do fairly well with cheap builds or just SOs alone. If you're willing to spend more, I would go with a SS/Fire Brute.

You just started. Don't you want to play some of the rest of the game first?

So with the new issue and expansion, would electric/shield scrapper still be the best thing to use for farming recipes and valueable SO's and IO recipes?

also, where do you guys farm?

personally id go fire/shield scrapp, less AoE dmg but much higher ST so it can be great at everything in game as opposed to mainly farming, but it still makes a great farmer

Ive looked around and found a site on the net that shows slotting basics for fire melee, but i can't find any on secondary shield. I'm talking about basics in example as " 2 accuracy 2 damage 2 end redux"

if anyone knows how to slot normal training and DO's on shield secondary, let me know. I don't need to know how to slot end game enhancments yet, so please don't suggest slotting for those yet because my soon to be made fire/shield scrapper will take a while to get there

so what archetype is fire/kin ?

ok i found a fire/kin farming build, how would i slot this with training or so/do's? I'm asking this because every build i find is slotted with io's and i don't know where to go to find out how to slot this before i can start using things besides just plain 2 accuracy, 2 damage, 2 hold etc for the slotting.

Why are you so concerned about farming? You're new. Play the game.

For dual-origin slotting attacks, "two acc, as many damage as you can fit."
For dual-origin slotting defenses, "one end reduction, as many defense/damage resist as you can fit."

SO basic slotting: one acc/three damage/ whatever-you-need and one endred/three defense or resist .

A full set of level 22 SO's costs about a million inf. If you need a million inf, right NOW, not tomorrow or in two hours: go to Wentworth's, buy as many level 40-50 set recipes as you can get for 100 inf each [look for uglies like immobilize or snipe, 0 bidding 20+ for sale] and sell them to the nearest store. Run back and forth doing this till you've sold about 100. This is the worst return on time there is, or close to it, but it will pay for your SO's if you are short on cash.

If you are making statements like...

Yep, as Fulmens and Donna have said, don't bother with a farmer yet. Better to play a character that you enjoy and just, well, play the game. You get plenty of infulence from doing so, and if you really want more, spending 5-10 minutes a day playing the market is far far more time efficient than farming.

I enjoy farming, that is my first reason. One thing i did plenty of in diablo 2 was farming with an MF sorc. Influence is just a secondary reward.

and i don't see how some of you are getting upset over something as simple as this.
if this thread upsets you, then by all means don't pay attention to it.

I see this a lot when people bring up farming, others telling them to just play the game. I assume when people ask about farming, it's because they want to.

Although, I do agree that you should play up your first character the old fashion way since farming is what lvl 50s usually do.

Farming is almost always a means to an end, when we see it around here. You'd kind of have to go back before Going Rogue to find it, which is at least 16 pages in THIS forum... but almost every "What's best for farming?" thread I've ever seen really meant "What's the best way to get the nicest stuff in the game?" There's also often an assumption that you NEED the nicest stuff in the game or you're a sick sad player who will have no friends.

Farming for its own sake is a valid hobby which I do not share. Good luck and good hunting.

I am having a blast with my fire/fire scrapper. I have a lvl 47 mish that I increase in difficulty (I'm only 49) to be on par with my lvl and set it for x6 or so.. depends on my mood... and go to town.

It's a council farm and I've had some fair drops so far. No purps yet, but hopefully I'll get one at some point, otherwise as I stated, the drops have been fair enough.

I also have the Warrior Clan mish as a farm and that is a huge map and tons of fun.

The second toon that I'm running (only at 42 though) is, fotm, em/sd scrapper. Great fun! LR is a great looking power and does some good damage. I have it up every second mob pretty much.

*edit - I also play my lower lvl toons. I farm when I want some infl or am undecided which char to play. I always suggest that if this is your first toon - play the game. It's loaded with incredible story arcs and you can meet some amazing people to team with. *
