Very Best Farmer?

Um ya..suppression.. there is none because there is no attempt before the first application wears off. So no.. what are you talking about man?

Alpha slot is subject to diminishing returns? So is most of alpha?? what good is it then? Maybe you should write them and help them get their information correct cause I see the word "ignore" in there.

I also see a 4second difference in my LR which is sitting at 89% recharge
without the alpha slotted.

Hasten dropped from 3:43 to 3:30 with the alpha and its at 99% for power recharge. Ya you are right its having no effect at all.

I don't think you know much either.

Yes, there is suppression when it is attempted before the first application wears off. Yes, Alpha is basically built INTO the idea of diminishing because it acts upon power slotting, not global bonuses. Power slotting is subject to ED and so is most of Alpha. Yes, triple-stacked Rage has diminishing returns. Sitting at double is the way to go. No, Rage stacks add. As in 80% + 80% +80%. Ever use "real numbers" (in game)? Try Powers, Combat Attributes. Very interesting stuff.

The uncommon alpha boost resists the effects of ED by 1/3, like it says in the description. I don't see anyone saying that it's useless and not doing anything, Aquila said that most of it is subject to ED, which 2/3 is.

Yes and come early feb you can switch those percentages around. I don't think the alpha slot is subject to DR because it ignores a fixed amount of DR as said in the description. If something ignores something else how can it be subject to it? The description does not say anything about alpha being subject to DR. Alpha provides a bonus and provides a fixed amount of IT'S bonus that will ignore DR.

He made it sound as though it was or was implying that it was useless and I should not try to factor it in as much of a bonus due to DR. I may have been wrong to think that about his post.

I am sorry if I misunderstood the post.

Aquila(sounds like a roman name) I want no futher trouble.

How is a toon that is only good at one farm type the "Very Best Farmer?” If I change the type of farm so that it resists smashing is it still the very best farmer?

The whole point of making a farming toon is to effectively complete one task in the shortest amount of time possible for the maximum rewards. For Brutes, on a fire farm, the #1 Brute is SS/FA.

oh relax.. thought I might have some fun.. man look at all the comments on that one. So many of you just dying to teach me a lesson.

I have never seen you post here before.. I guess this was your first chance to reply to me with "fail" in the post. cool!

Honestly I was in a farm tonight with an ss/fire toon.. and he kept saying.. to me.. "I think your faster at this than my toon is". Ya I get that a lot. If I see an ss/fire I almost always farm with them, showem how its done.

Good times.. I am on freedom if you are dying to see how its done.

Add or take away all you want or comeback with another what-if, it doesn’t change anything. We used to farm Dreck, Wolves, Family, heck we even farmed the Winter Lord. Farmers built ATs for those specific farms and we continue to do so, and the King right now is the SS/FA Brute. Take it or leave it, until you bring facts or evidence that some other AT or build is better no one is going to take you seriously.

I still like the idea of posting videos. seriously. i'd like to see a high-end SS/FA Brute vs a high-end Elec/FA Brute for comparison. then i'd like to see the actual builds posted. could be constructive to many of us.

I've a slightly different question, which may or may not alter the conclusion... What's the best farmer at lv 35? (for lv 35 recipe purposes)

I knew BBJ would back down, but I got to say I didn't expect him to keep running his mouth after publically admitting he can't do it. Heh.

Trying to get a video to upload and i cant seem to get Wegame to work. Do i have to be running from WeGame where it has all your games and stuff, because i cant get that to work.

Anyway, i got a video using camstudio (**** them) but it has REALLY REALLY REALLY crappy quality and for some god awful reason the colors got ****** up. I guess i suck at this kind of stuff >.<

Spines/Fire Scrapper less than, greater than, or about equal to SS/Fire?

I don’t think mobs would run. In ambush farms the mob actually hones in on you and will even stay by someone even after they died. And i think Blazing Aura might still taunt, not 100% sure though.
And without useing a lot of purple insp Spine/fire is much more squishy than a /fire brute due to the lower res cap. And you do have a long *** animation from Spine burst.
But honestly its too close to call i think, it would need to be actually tested out imo.
