brute elec/fire

Wow, this post has been up a while without a response. Maybe it's because so many people swear up and down about SS/Fire, who knows. SS/Fire is great, but I've been having waaaay too much fun with my Elec/Fire, and it's completely usable for farming.

If you're going to do AE fire-farming, then most anything you do will be fine since you're capped for the resist. Your build would do ok. But it's missing two key components. Consume (especially with the lack of end reduction you have) and Burn, which has been turned into a real demon with its latest buff (no more Fear!!). Take 'em.

Here's the build I have, which you may not consider "better" but the numbers are much stronger. While you seem to have gone for Melee and AoE, I've worked up S/L/E/N to 31.5% defense (still waiting to make my PVP Def IO), with better defense in other areas as well. And I've gained more recharge and +HP than you currently have. 55% Recharge to be exact. I'm melting away mobs at insane rates, and I still have a couple more LotG's to go. Once it's finished, it'll only be faster.

Not sure if you're aware of Fiery Embraces new buff, but it now increases all attacks equally, while also allowing you to get around ED caps (in a manner of speaking). Throwing out Energy and Fire damage all over the place reduces most mobs in seconds. I lead with BU+FE, Burn, Lightning Rod and clean up with Thunder Strike (if needed). The first group is done, and in the few seconds it takes to get another group around me, I can usually BU+Burn+LR again. With Hasten up, after the first two groups it's wash and repeat.

I know you said no purples, but the PVP IO is helpful (well, it will be when I get 30 A-Merits wrapped up). I don't even have it yet and I'm usually pretty safe in a +0 x8 setting.

Enough talk, here's the build.

I just recently slotted out the Cardiac boost. Before it, I would need to use Consume once every three to four groups. So it had plenty of time to recharge. After it, I've hardly used it that much. I'd still prefer to have it though for end-drain situations. I know you're mainly demon farming in AE, but the build works with a lot of other groups for Purple farming. You'll want Consume if you want more variety to your farming.

I might try the Spiritual boost for the recharge. In which case, I'll need Consume more often.
