You don't need an expensive IO build to farm. You can even do it with SOs.
Set your mission difficulty to +0/x8, go to any AE building, search for "fire invasion", "FIRE!", "fire cyborgs" or similar terms and get some tickets.
In each run, collect just 750 tickets so that completing the mission will put you at the hard cap of 1500 for one mission.
Use those tickets to buy some recipes, sell the good ones at your favorite Wentworths or Black Market, sell the bad ones at the nearest vendor and repeat.
Then, after you feel that you are now sufficiently rich, read this thread

from first page to last page, and you should have enough hints how to build a super expensive ss/fire/mu farmer.
All good advice from Gallifrey.
Your current build does look pretty bad, but you should still be able to run fire farms to get the cash to make it good. There are plenty of great builds posted in the thread Gallifrey linked for you.
I'd suggest making 2 builds one a pure farm build and another to run regular content.
I've been AFK for several years and just came back, saw the new Brute farmer build and decided to blow the large bulk of my cash to build a toon that could help generate income. I printed several builds out that I found online and, long story short....it's a disaster. I have a respec available and I'm going to have to use it to try to fix this character.
I need to know what I can salvage from this. Some of these IO set pieces were really expensive for me and I need to re-use what I can and I can scrounge up (borrow from friends) about 750mill-1bill left to try to fix the rest of it.
I REALLY appreciate the help.
