Front loaded ambush

I am in the process of respeccing my plant storms toon and I was looking for a good front loaded ambush mission or if nothing else the map type commonly used to make them to test him on. I searched the boards but was not able to find anything on the subject. Ideally mobs that use fire or ice would be great or S/L. Also when creating these in AE is there any particular tricks/hints to make more mobs spawn in the front?

I'll try that one this morning, also could some one tell me what map is commonly used because I would like to make one with only bosses if that is possible just to see how insane it would be.

You could easily make one with only bosses. However, because people used to abuse the hell out of it in just the manner you're describing, your XP is now nerfed heavily if you don't have a mix of minions, lieutenants and bosses in a faction.

If you really want to know the details of what goes into these farms, just go to AE and type in "ambush farm" you'll get dozens, if not hundreds, of hits. I'm not entirely sure that discussing AE farms and how to make them is acceptable on the forums, since technically, creating farms in AE is not the intended usage, and your missions can be deleted if they're reported as farms.

I've tended to use either the Grandville Conference room map or one of the generic medium warehouses (ala "FRONTLOADED!"/Fuzzy Kittens). The other fire ambush missions tend to use a lab map with clickable doors -- I'm not as big a fan, as the bigger room lets the bad guys spread out more.

If you want to try a few, I tend to rotate between "FRONTLOADED!", the "Fire Cyborg" mission (find via that string, 999+ votes), and my own story arc.

who said anything about a farm.....

anyways thanks for the feedback just trying to see how this template can handle tons of aggro and also see what the best skill chain to use is, if you test drive a car you wanna take it somewhere you can open it up not drive through residential backroads. I do appreciate all the feedback and I'll check these missions out.
