What's the Earliest Elec/SD can start solo farming?
I was able to start some serious farming after I had Shield Charge and Lightning Rod fully slotted. Defenses were fairly serious although I wasn't able to truely softcap him until the 40's, but a council farm won't slow you down all that much in the high 30's. Definitely lay off the bosses as they'll slow you down too much.
Here's my build, a bit pricey with purples and I also went villain to get me some Mu Epic powers, but you could just as easily do without them and I'd also highly recommend the fire mastery line as you'll want fireball to add to your AoE carnage of TS, LR and SC.

I have a budget of about 500mill to get me started. I was wondering how early I can become self-sustainable in a farm (most likely AE) with x8 difficulties. Also help with a possible build would be exceedingly appreciated, but not needed.
Thanks for any and all feedback.
