I have a different view. I wish people would come to the boards to look for something other than free builds. I wish we could talk about powersets that we like or don't. I wish we could discuss changes that we want seen. Most importantly, I wish that every thread in the brute section weren't about ss/fa farming builds.
It's been said many times- but I think people are much more willing to lend a hand or eye to inspect or help rebuild a person's build if they post up what they have first. At least that way it looks like a person has done some of the work on their own instead of asking for a hand out.
Exactly.
Coming to the boards and basically asking for a handout is bad form.
Most of the posters in this thread with the heavy snark are actually posters that often spend a lot of time helping other people with their builds or giving advice.
But asking for YET ANOTHER SS/FA farming build, when there are already elven threads on the first page discussing FA, a thread with over 500 replies titled "very best farmer", and three threads total on the first page that are all SS/FA - is just bad etiquette.
Expect to be mocked.

The path less traveled is the one where the poster brings their own build to the forum, puts it up for critique and asks for help.
For every 1 of those, there are like 3-5 of "Show me your best builds so that I might plunder ideas for free with no effort on my part!!".

Hey guys, I'm about to create a highly original thread which will highlight both my search fu and CoX prowess.
What is the best farming build out there? And can someone post me a mids build?
