Can a SD/WM Farm?

Posted

Just out of curiosity, has anyone built a SD/WM and been able to farm reasonably well with them? I've got one at lvl 42 right now and I was just wondering if this is something to push for. Anyways, here is my farming build. My normal build is a little different, just something to keep in mind. This would be only for farming groups at +2/x8 or maybe a little lower on the lvl cause I don't have the damage output.

What's your concern about farming with Shield/Mace? In turns of damage I think it would perform better than many, but not all tanker primary/secondary combos.

For this build specifically, I have some suggestions:

Pick up Shatter, it's the second-highest damaging attack in the set and a cone, so it will add to your AoE damage.

No Steadfast +Def! Definitely need to get one.

You're way overboard on melee defense; going above 45-50% will not be of value in most farming situations.

The Red Fortune and Titanium Coating sets are a waste of slots, IMO; armor toggles rarely need more than 4 slots. I'd go with 4 LotG in the defense powers and 3-4 slots of any resistance set in Tough. Please note that Deflection also needs resistance slotting so I'd add 2 level 50 resistance commons.

Kinetic Combat is not a good choice for Shield Defense; they are very expensive and give primarily typed defense. Besides, as slotted, they're underslotted for damage and accuracy.

In general, Obiteration is a good choice for melee defense, but I wouldn't recommend 3 sets since the set is low in end reduction. Leave the Oblits in Shield Charge and use something else for the other AoEs.

Melt Armor for tanks isn't a very good attack, I think you'd be better off taking Fire Blast.

Stamina is overslotted. I know you want the recharge bonus, but I think some of those slots could be better used elsewhere.

Here's the sort of thing I would do with your build; the recharge is a little higher, S/L resistance is a little higher, and the attacks are adequately slotted for accurcy, damage and end reduction. One thing I usually do with Shields is to 6-slot Gaussian's in Build Up; that's still an option, but you'd have to decide what to give up to get the 3 slots you'd need to add to BU.

Looking at Findulias' build:

Grant Cover does not need a defense enhancement. The defense debuff resistance in Grant Cover is unenhanceable and the defense does not affect the Tanker. For farming, you would probably be solo anyways. For grouping, the other melees are the only ones who could take advantage of it, but they usually have their own defense if built well. You can move the Kismet 6% to-hit to Grant Cover and save yourself a slot for something else. Alternatively, the LOTG from Phalanx Fighting would be better in Grant Cover.

Impervium Armor's psionic defense isn't very useful. Aegis would give some AoE defense and allow you to use a different set elsewhere.

I would try to fit more recharge in the build by taking out some defense sets and adding the Gaussian's set.

I think the second option is the much better choice--and a good idea since I'm all for saving slots--since if you put the Kismet +Acc in GC it'll only be available when you're running GC and you'll be more likely to lose it when exemping.

Both reasonable alternatives.

You can farm with anything, since farming is just defeating lots of enemies for extended periods of time.

The only difference varying builds make is how fast you can do it. You can farm with a Stone/DM just as easily as a Fire/SS, but the Fire/SS is going to be much faster at it.

If you've got a build that can defeat enemies at a decent clip, and you have fun playing the character, I'd say you're in good shape for farming with it.

Nothing sucks more than making a character that you don't enjoy playing just because it is an efficient farmer.

Looks good, though I'd recommend some small changes.

Slot Perf Shifter in Stamina instead of Efficacy Adaptor, since most of the EA bonuses are over the rule of 5 anyway--use the PS End Mod, End/Rchg, End/Acc and +End.

Then you can slot an LotG Defense in CJ for the 10% regen bonus since you'll no longer be over 5 on that bonus.

Instead of a defense common, put a Kismet +Acc in Phalanx Fighting as Syntax recommended.

One final option is to pull a slot from Hasten and slot two Enzyme Exposures in Active Defense. This will be expensive--I think Enzymes are running over 200 million infl each currently--but it will allow you to max out your defense debuff resistance. Even if you can't afford it right away, it's something you can work toward.

EDIT: Also, use a Aegis Res/End/Rchg in Tough instead of a Res/Rchg. You'll just lose a tiny bit of S/L resistance, and Tough will be sufficiently slotted for end reduction.

I take it the last build I posted is fine as is? No improvements must mean I did something right...or is it just that uninteresting?
