That's true. With a FA character, Harvey's demon farm is perfect for farming.

If you have to start a post with this and your actually serious about not being one... don't post what you were going to, or do and accept the fact that you are.

Either way, I didn't list,

Fire / Kin / Stone

Fire / Kin / Fire

Fire / Kin / Psi

Plant / Kin / Stone

Plant / Kin / Fire

Plant / Kin / Psi

SS / Fire / Mu

Fire / Fire / Mu

All of which I would consider the "popular" farmers that the OP would like to avoid.

But thanks for your input Amy.

I like playing my farmers, but their purpose is to farm, not enjoy content. I usually just use them to feed money and drops to my others.
This... Too bad youre not on Justice so id have a partner in crime... lol.

the only farming that i enjoy is at the Cimerora walls, wich i'm doing it very fast and very effective with my AR/DEV blaster (not the usual combo for farming from the little i know)


also, i have a strong feeling that my ss/elec brute (softcap S/L) would be devastating at farming


defiant only

Def agaisnt Romans doesn't last remember... Best thing I used against the wall was Fire/Em blaster... Aim, Bu, Boost range, Firebreath and static discharge... Cones = dead lineup.

u r totally right if u r referring to the brute, he is terible against Cimerorans.... i meant generally farming about him, though i get too bored for taking him there

If you're softcapped to S/L, one purple would solve the defense debuff problem.

Well reading these posts (thx everyone for your help and input) I noticed that some of you say elec/kin farm similar to fire/kin just not as quick.
My question regarding those people that have experienced elec/kin is do you think they can satisfy someones need for wanting a farm toon, being that I haven't experienced playing as a fire/kin?
Again asking this because I really really like a superhero having electricity powers more then fire and have a theme for an elec toon whereas I don't really have one for a fire toon.
Also, how much slower are elec/kin to fire/kin you think?
I'm not looking to be a crazy build. probably farm like +1 or +2 x6 mobs. Just something to get money rolling in faster then it is right now.
Again thx very much for everyones input. I know I should just give in and make a fire/kin, but thx for being good spirited about my situation haha.

Sigh. I have a lowbie Elec/kin and I even got asked in game if it's a good farming toon. No, it's not a good farming toon. It would be comparable to farming with an Ice/kin, or Earth/kin and nobody sane really farms with them. In others words, you will likely give up out of boredom. Elec has minimal ways of doing damage so even when you are damage capped, there just isn't enough to dish out in a reasonable fashion. The pets will only get you so far.

I'l explain it another way as showing my Fire/kin is so good. The biggest source of damage is Hot Feet. Now, run with damage capped Hot Feet and then factor in containment which doubles the damage and ignores the damage cap. Elec has none of that. Also note that even if it's aura could be given damage procs that Fulcrum would do nothing in terms of boosting the damage of those procs.

If you are looking still at a non-tradition farmer, there are other builds that still work without caving into making a Fire/kin. I have a Fire/kin. Fire/kins are overrated.

Yeah, yeah. I'll shut up after this. Doing it that way a scrapper, or brute would be easy to do. I use something that has at least 2 AoEs. AoEs can come the secondary via a damage aura, or something like Shield Charge, Burn, etc. You could also take any lesser used blaster combo, have them use Hover to keep attacks coming in being ranged, top out ranged def, and do the same as well. A lesser used combo might be Rad/mental, which is going to have a bunch of AoEs.
