brute elec/fire
Hi all im trying to upgrade my elec/fire brute to do farming. Below is the old build I am using that i found a while back. I would like to upgrade to i19 standards. If possible can anybody tweak this build or even post a better build. Again this will be strictly for farming AE fire mobs, maybe demon farm. If it can be done with out purples that would be great, if not I still will take it.

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.

Kill 'em all. Let XP sort 'em out.
@Rylas that build is awesome!!! And you are right because I dont have consume I pop alot of blues through out the farm, but because there are so many bad guys i either get the drops or just make them and keep on trucking. I love the increase in haste, that will help out alot. I have a question for you, I see you went the cardiac route for your incarnate, does that help out alot with your end? If so do you still use consume alot?
And thank you for replying, I really appreciate it.

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

@Rylas I'm almost finished with the build, all I need is that special IO that is slotted in temperature protection. I'm thinking of going to the Spiritual route as you said for the recharge, I feel I need the recharge more. But besides that I'm loving the build. Thanks a million!!!
