Best Normal Content Farmer?

Simple question, probably a hundred answers. I'm looking at making someone to farm for Purple recipes. It seems silly but I'm a scrooge, and I don't want to spend money on purple recipes if I can go out there and stock up my base on my own. Also, with Double XP weekend coming up, I'm trying to find someone I can really rake in the XP that weekend. I just have 3 simple questions.

1)What to farm?
I'm thinking that either Demons or Freaks would be the best because of their inherent weaknesses to something. I know Freaks suck when it comes to XP, but when it comes to Purples that should matter. And with Demons, they hate cold and give good XP. Freaks also Rez, so with Unai's map on +0/x8, you'd prolly have better chances since they get up again. Might slow down the farming process, but more kills = more chances.

2)What Archetype?
I would think Brutes would be the obvious answer(hence why I posted in this forum), but I know that farming regular content, you're not in the Ideal Brute situation like with a Fire Farm as to where you're surrounded all the time. So would a Scrapper be a better choice? Also, like if I was farming Freaks, would a Peacebringer be a good choice with Freaks inherent weakness to Energy?

3)What power combo?
SS/Fire is king in Fire ambushes because Rage and burn are so great, but farming other stuff(this is just my Experience w/ 45% S/L defense and 65% S/L Resistance) they aren't as amazing. Demon's have great resistance to S/L, so taking advantage of the armor you're safe, but damage output you're gimped because of the type of damage you do.
I know the Combo really depends on the AT and the Mob so this one I'll leave open.

Builds would be appreciated too since I'm still kind of working at getting better building stuff. any advice would be appreciated ^_^. Ty for reading

Still SS/fire...it was the redside king even before AE.

Maybe I just suck at farming lol. I've been farming Unai's map with the old Council and its been going alright. Is there something better to farm with a Ss/Fire?

From what I remember the demon farm given by TV was the best to farm for SS/Fire. Not terribly confident that I'm right however.

fire/kin is also pretty bad *** for content farming.

I find i like to farm freaks the more, epic xp.

SS/FA is simply the best for everything(except maybe GM soloing), get with the program.

If you really want purples, then just start following the markets. You can make enough weekly to support your purple addictions, using far less time and avoiding deadweight recipe drops. Buy low in bulk (set up standing bids) and sell at slightly below market to keep your inventory moving. I spend maybe 20-30 minutes, 2-3 days a week, and the inf adds up quickly over time. You don't even have to craft, you can flip underpriced crafted IOs for decent profit.

Then you can spend your gametime grinding out trials, tips and TFs. Roll your a-merits and you'll find yourself with quite a few nice recipes over time. Alternately, set up a PVP IO farm on a little-used server and earn IOs while you sleep - until someone comes along and kills you, anyway.

If you're still sold on farming for recipes the old-fashioned way, then I say use whatever AOE-focused character you think you'll enjoy playing for hours at a time. You're going to spend a lot of time with the character and if it bores you, then your efforts will be wasted. I recommend getting mez protection from somewhere or focusing on controls if you plan on farming normal mobs for purples, but you have a wide range of options that fit those requirements.

best farmers they're are:


brute: SS/FA/energy or mu


tanker: FA/SS/energy


blaster: fire/psi/munitions


dominator: fire/psi/psi


controller:fire/kin/stone



and others i haven't seen yet

and you guys should agree and btw if you want farming go to union for god sake i will farm you look for the name: Killer. Queen2

and guys the best farm is DISCO inferno its the best farm

idk but just go to union and look up these names and if there aren't up there im on pinnacle : Killer. Queen2 , White Widowess , Selena Black-op , Killer. Queen or occasionally my own omega martial

Fire/Kin is strong.

Nothing close to a well built SS/FA though. And like the man said..not just for farming, but damn near everything.

Keep working at it, hopefully one day you too can taste the awesome.

Then you will know the truth.

Id just like to throw this out there...i have soloed GMs on my SS/fire :P

I know i soloed Ghost Widow on my ss/fa

what happend its only crikets now

Just to go against the flow here...

Elec/Fire Brute with 50% recharge bonuses will do some serious farming. You know, just in case you're tired of playing SS, or want a good mix of exotic damage types.

I'm not saying it's necessarily as fast as SS/Fire, but I doubt you'd notice a difference in time SO significant you'd be upset over it.

So how does one set up a PVP io farm thats a new one to me.

Thanks

I think an IO'd and Incarnated ss/inv brute would be about the best all around brute you could roll. It won't have the highest damage since it only has 1 solid aoe and no damage aura, but for most content you'll basically be unkillable and you can take the spiritual alpha and ageless destiny to boost your recharge on footstomp. Toss in either mu or soul mastery and you are good to go.

What it loses in damage it gains in survivability. Properly built with the right tools you'll be smashing non-stop.

That said an ss/fire built for higher defenses and recharge will be very capable as well for most content and do it faster.

He said something about doing it while you sleep
