You need moar recharge.
Here's a better farming build, perhaps near the most optimal. It has over 60% more recharge. And no I don't have this slotted so I'm not posting any times.

Don't have mids here but it looks like you have a ton of S/L defense for fire farms? How come?
edit: I run my farms with an SO'd claws/FA brute so I am not the king but it's good enough for me when I chew candies.
You need moar recharge.

Ok....
I turned on spiritual and accolades, tossed in reactive, assumed the +rech was perma in a farming situation.
+311 rech
Footstomp recharges in 4 seconds, burn in 5, ball lightning in 6.4, fences in 4.14. You literally can't fire them all.

Yes, it has to eat candy like mad, but holy MOLY.
I think..... You win.
*Side note, Fire has smashing component.*
If someone has a great farming build post it with times you have finished the top 3 farms. My build does suck a lot of end though, so I think I need to fix that. Any suggestions?
It would also be nice if you'd post your personal best times on the toon before hand.

nope fire/psychic blaster best ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What matters the most is that you enjoy that build and that it works for you. But to be honest, there is nothing particularly novel, or remotely optimized, about that build. It is SS/Fire and runs Fire Farms, that's about it. Recharge is below mediocre, accuracy is poor, SM/L defense is a wasted attribute.

Now, on the real fourmites, if you are going to critique a build and not throw one up that you think is better, then you have no proof or solid ground to stand on, you can't prove that my build is under par, until you blow my time out of the water. Oh ...what, you have no times? Hmm...well what can you use for proof? Take you at your word? Show me the Numbers! (and Builds)
Special thanks to the one guy (Firery-Enforcer, I'm looking at you) who did put up his version of what he thought was better. No times, but he doesn't actually have a build slotted that way. So, whatever that's worth. But hey he did half of what I asked for. So, Kudos to you Sir.

Early predictions that this thread goes the distance.
You can't be the "best farmer evah" if you can't post top numbers for the most efficient farming maps. Sorry.

Get the Tier 4 Ageless Core Epiphany (+End, +Recovery, +Recharge Rate). It lasts for 120 seconds and you can recast it as soon at its over. This should solve endurance problems so you can get the spiritual alpha for more recharge. If you really want to have the best farming build, you should have 2 builds on your brute, one for farming, the other for TFs, trials, etc.

I actually waste 30 seconds just running in and destroying the 2 objects so if you want to count from my first AOE attack its like 4:30 :P
Soft capped fire defense with vengeance, and since I'm always farming lowbies, it's always up. With no need to use purples or blues, I can take a full tray of reds and stay between 400-500%+ damage the entire farm. Recharge is at 202% before the FF proc in footstomp. Near gapless AoE chain of BL-FS-Burn-Fences. I don't have time to use any ST attacks. I just slotted Ragnarok in BL so I'm not sure what to do with that extra recharge IO yet, maybe acc or end.

If your toon is optimized to solo an ITF, then it isn't optimized to run a fire farm. I'm not saying you can't do both well, it's just that a character built with a fire farm in mind will farm it faster and more safely than one that isn't. A jack of all trades build is fine, and I totally understand the merit of wanting to do it all with one character. That's where multiple builds come into play IMO. I don't have such devotion to any one of my characters, so I don't mind having toons that are built for different things.
For farming a fire map, I would not use that build you posted. For regular content, it's a pretty normal setup. I would probably change a couple things around, but then again I'm not a huge fan of FA for normal content. Mine is strictly farming only.
Top Three farms in what regards? Top Three AE farms? Top Three mission farms? Top Three Fire farms? Quite a broad statement, hence why you've gotten a broad response. You claim you're not being smug, but almost every response you've made says otherwise.
I believe there was a Fire/Kin 'troller who made the same claim a year or so ago, and even made a similar thread. When all was said and done, there really is no end all be all answer. It is not just the build that matters, it is the player, any lag time from connection, exc.....
Don't I know you???
Agreed.
This build is actually quite similar to my own in terms of the goals. I have a little less recharge, but the AoE chain, fire defense, and ageless destiny for infinite endurance is ridiculous for farming. You spend so much time attacking and take so little damage, you don't even need to use single target attacks or even heal really. Just load up on reds and go to town. If your toon is optimized to solo an ITF, then it isn't optimized to run a fire farm.

Again, I really appreciate the positive criticisim and not a flat out flame.
Ok, thanks so much for the intelligent and mature reply. I get it now, my build isn't optimal for Farming. I realize that haveing Dual and now even Tri builds would be more advantageous. The caveat there is, who the heck wants to poor that much infl into one character?

This is a SS/FA/MU build that is destroying the FAMRING Business. Take a look, and if you think your build is better post it with times finishing the top 3 Farms. Cyborg and the other 2 that escape my memory at present. This is for me to test my build against speed vs speed. Friendly replies please, I am not tyring to come off smug, I just think this is close to an Uber build as you can get; however, I have been wrong before
