Issue 19 Builds Needed Please

Hiya All,

Is it possible someone can make me some nice builds due to me not having enough experience in mids :P, I want builds for a Fire/Kin and the other for a Plant/Kin. These two controllers are for farming purposes so basically Capped S/L Defense and S/L Resist if Possible, so basically good survivability. I want both with good Recharge too if possible. Budget can be as much as it needs to be... Purple sets is great where need to be slotted, just want good builds :P thats all im looking for. Thank you very much to anyone who puts there time into doing the builds - Very much appreciated

You'd be better off playing around with Mids, posting your builds and then asking for critique. It doesn't always work out, but people will usually respond better to that.

I always love the "I don't want to bother putting any effort into this and want someone else to do the work for me" build threads.. And of course this one includes the seemingly mandatory "budget doesn't matter" statement.

You should be able to search the forums for a decent Fire/Kin build. Maybe Plant/Kin too. I expect to see a series of posts coming up soon about it now that people are adjusting builds for alpha slots, so you may want to hang on for that. I'm guessing most Fire/Kins are going to Alpha for Recharge (they don't need the Damage or Defense), which may have some interesting results on builds.

With the exception of melee AT's, it's highly unlikely you'll see see a cap in both defense and resist. It's an either or thing with defense being more likely to reach it's cap. I suppose it's possible to get both if you keep PFF running, but that wouldn't be any fun. Capped s/l and ranged sounds more doable. Forget about resists.

To the OP:

Before you get all upset with the Controller crowd, let me offer a little historical perspective. For the most part this AT community is one of the friendliest, most helpful and knowledgable in the game. It's a special breed of player that focuses on the Controller and it really shows in how they interact with players new and old. For the most part this is one of the few sections of the forums that is relatively drama free.

That said, there is a dark little corner of the Troller Forums: the fire/kin poster. Oh nothing against fire/kins or fire/kin players for that matter; I have one myself (and have since issue 2) The problem is fire/kin's have been the Farmer Du Jour forever (nothing against farming in general) and with it comes some great and well thought-out players, but it also attracts new players looking to get to "the End Game" or speed through levels before ever learning the game or their way around the forums. And while that is but a small portion of the playerbase and the people lurking the forums, those of us that haunt these parts of the forums sometimes get a little testy because there can be very heavy days that seem devoted to fire/kins and farming builds from players with very little interest in even looking for their answers or doing a modicum of research before asking.

Hey Mental, what's the problem with that you ask? Well to start there are a lot of posts similar to yours started just above three other threads devoted to "The best fire/kin farming build" Some people take exception to going into yet another thread when there are plenty on the first page to paruse. Secondly, it's pretty durned common for the fire/kin "I want a 1337 fire/kin build, now!" to post with "some excuse" as to why they don't have a build available for us to go over. And while your post didn't, the posts typically sound something like. "I'm not good at using Mids, LOL" "I can't seem to get Mids to work, LOL", "I know where I want the powers but I'm not good with set's, LOL" , or (Insert your own excuse here) followed almost always by 'LOL' or 'lawlz'. The point is, if people seem touchy it's not because they are neccesarily jerks or unhelpful. It's just that, well, your post ain't the first of it's type to come around here (by a longshot) and while your intentions may be as innocent and pure as fresh snow, we do get a lot of LEET Boyz, lazy players and scoundrels come through here expecting the eggheads to do the work for them so they can go out there and get 'phat lootz'.

All we typically ask is that you come to the table with a little effort. The build doesn't have to be uber, or even good for that matter (just don't be sloppy and throw something together that makes no sense....they can smell deception around here). But effort on your part gets you very far with this crowd, trust me. There are some good people in these parts.

Just toss up one of the builds you started, and folks will work with it, and offer advice on what to tweak to make it better.

Ah. Good someone else started a thread for me. I don't need to do it myself.

I don't want to bother putting any effort into this so someone else needs to make a Fire/Rad build for me to use. It should be able farm really good so budget doesn't matter.

I don't have any Inf so if you guys could just take a collection among yourselves that would great. I don't have time to go to each of you individually.

Also once you do all that, what is a good farm? I can door sit for a few dozen to see which ones are best, but I only play from 1am to 4am. I live in Salomon Isles so you will have to find out what time that is your time. I can't be bothered right now so send me a PM. I won't charge you much to play in my farm.

Thanks ahead of time.

With the length of some of ya'll posts I'd think the same amount of time could have been put to making a build real quick for the guy.

Probably because the OP explained they don't know how to use mids that well and all anyone did was say go make a build yourself. He's probably afk figuring out how to use it.
