Very Best Farmer?

Can someone elaborate on the "Statesman Farm"? Is that the last arc mish where you kill tyrant and statesman runs around hitting mobs?

People are saying you just free stateman and he runs through killing everything as you lead him from mob to mob?

Or why is this seen as the best of all farms by some peeps?

There is a new Warrior/BM farm where you get States as an ally. It's given by Maria. Not bad if States knocking everything all over the place doesn't infuriate you.

The best farmer in the game is a Fire/Fire/Fire Scapper with 120% recharge with Veng. AoE of FCS up every 5 seconds burn 7 seconds and Fireball 9 seconds. FCS doesn't do more then FS on a brute with dmg cap but it crits and DMG cap on a scrapper is alot easier to get, almost does the same dmg.

Pretty easy to say no right? guess your on the stack 3 rages so it crashes all the time wagon arn't you?

No, they are right for various reasons which have already been discussed in this thread.

FSC has a smaller radius than FS. Scrappers don't have a taunt aura in Blazing Aura like Brutes do. Mu Mastery is better than Fire Mastery for farming, Scrappers don't get Elec Fences in their version. Brutes have a higher res cap, though that doesn't really matter much.

Also no, don't stack Rage, people who do are bad, especially with the amount of inspirations you can use. Heck, I don't even use Rage most of the time.

The fastest farming in the game is done in AE ambush. AoE range doesnt matter in there. you can have a cone and still hit 10 people. Plus the fact you can be perma dmg caped on a scrapper because of grabing 20 reds and only have to pop 10-12 to hit dmg cap is something to make note of

This might be overkill, but I find it too funny not to share, given his posting. iMidget Prefection's ingame bio :

"This My builds > Urs. Probly the best AE farmer u'll every see. fire ambush +4x8 in 6 minutes. lvl 1 - 50 solo farming takes 23.5 runs at +4x8 fire ambush farm. About 4 or 5 ticket cap and 333,000ish prestige idk about influ forgot to check that"

That character was an elec/fire/fire brute, by the way. Admittedly not a fire scrapper, but if he's proud of taking 6 minutes to clear a fire ambush, I feel it's safe to assume none of his times are going to be competitive on any alt.

Actaully that brute's farming build is a Elec/fire/Soul with 100 % global recharge, soft cap def with teir 4 recharge. Are you saying 6 minutes on 54X8 fire cybor farm is slow? Please tell me your avg time for that map.

It is pretty slow, unless the specific map you're using is the worst ambush farm ever. Standard times for the fire ambush map are in the 3 minutes range. 6 minutes is what a non-farming alt with some AOE power should be able to get.

I bet you 1billion influ you cant do the fire cybor map in 3 mintues at 54x8 solo, if that was the case you could go 1-50 in less than 2 hours easy.

If you guys don't mind me asking - is the standard definition of clearing / doing a fire map "hitting ticket cap"?

1 billion? That's small potatoes. Make it 10 billions, with a trusted third party (to whom we'd both give 10 billions before agreeing to the bet, as to make sure the loser doesn't back out) and a set of rules laid out in the open, and I might consider taking that bet.

@Rad- Personally, I don't give a damn about tickets, so my definition of clearing would be "kill all 6 ambushes and the groups near them, click glowie". Basically just the first room, as showed in my vids above.

I will say that I took a look at those "fire cyborg" farms (I don't do PUG farms), and it seems rather poor. I picked the top one and highest rated, and it starts with the wrong map layout - abandoned tech lab, which is performance heavy, with double doors making you lose time and ambushes split onto three different objects/hostages rather than two. It doesn't work well and I can see this map taking closer to 4 minutes, due to the sheer inefficiency of it all. If all "fire cyborg" farms are like this one, I wouldn't accept a 3 minutes bet on these. Farming on a weak map is as slow as farming on a weak build.

Pre-i20.

Rules,

Mission must be cleared in 3:00 minutes.

mission to be used is fire cybor mission(it has 999+ votes), i'll set the mission.

2 people only on the team, 1 will be my toon dead in the middle of the big ambush room on 1st level before we start the timer.

both doors will be opened and both players in the mission before timer starts.

Farmer must kill *everything* on the first floor by himself before clicking the glowie to end the mission (that's when the timer stops).

Farm must be set at 54x8, any 20 inspirations aloud (IE small, medium, large)

Timer starts when farmer say's so before killing anything at the beginning of mission.

No extra buffs before entering the mission, I.E. SB, FORT, AM...

I'll open this challange to anyone in the game. I think the fastest i've done this map is 5-6 minutes on my elec/fire/soul brute (Soul is a presonal preference) and I think elec/fire/mu is the 3rd fastest famer in the game after fire/fire/fire scrapper and fire/fire/fire brute. 4th is the SS/fire/Mu brute. I'll put down 2 billion influ to anyone who says they can do it in 3:00 minutes with the following rules. For this first bet i'll bet 4 billion, and no way i'm giving that influ for someone to hold.

In 2 days i'll be posting my fastest time with these rules, due to have to work it can't be sooner.

Did you miss the part that those "around 3 minute" times were on a different map?
