Farmer that isn't /Fire?

Posted

So, I've recently gotten into the farming business. I have a SS/Fire/Energy Tanker that I use to farm with now. Which, he farms like a beast. I'm not disputing that. But it just gets SO BORING! Also, I want to get away from the /fire. I make too many of those. Haha

So my question is, what is a good Brute build that would not include a /fire? I was rolling around the idea of Elec/(WP/Inv)/Mu, but I don't know. And what kind of farm should I make for the Brute?


 

Posted

The next secondaries I would go to are Electric and Shield.

Anything you make will farm slower than a */fire. I don't see how farming slower would make things less boring but I suppose you could make an energy farm for a /elec. Maybe even a smash/lethal farm for a granite running /stone.

In my opinion you're better off just making something you want to play and ignoring its farming potential since you already have the fastest and best - and find it boring.

Don't farm then. Just play the market to make your money. Infinitely easier and much less time consuming.

This. Although if you're redside and doing TV farms, shield is a REALLY bad choice. Dark armor is also a possibility, but you'll have endurance issues.

After to agree with Squad. Making anything else will be slower, don't see how thats gonna be any less boring.
Like tubby said you can try making money just from the market. I however find this to be REALLY REALLY REALLY ******* boring.

This.

I would say Electric Armor takes it over Shield Defense due to Fury and red inspirations.

Why are you farming? For cash? To PL?
If for cash, several people have suggested the market. For 5-10 minutes a day, you can craft around 10 items and pull in 50-100 mil profit in a couple of days, depending on your niche.
If you have Going Rogue, you can do tips and get 1 vill merit every 2 days. You can exchange this for a Kinetic combat recipe that will fetch around 75-100 mil on the market. You can choose to 'farm' tips too by running +0 or +1x8 with bosses. Purple recipes can drop during tips. However, you must do it alone, otw, the recipe will randomly go to anyone on the team.
You already have a good brute to farm AE with. For other farms such as redside TV Lib and Cimerora missions, maybe an SS/Invul will do the trick.
Or, if you really want to be hardcore, try energy/energy.
If you prefer AE farming, then maybe do some tip/paper/other farm runs in between to change the pace?

If everyone played the market instead of farmed you'd be left with whatever scraps people threw at it from casual play.

I'd advise a claws/electric/soul, if you don't wanna do fire. It is bliss.
