That loving feeling - Elec/Fire Armor


Postagulous

 

Posted

So one of my favorite toons is a fire/sd scrapper. I love the ability to wade into mobs and decimate them quickly. So I thought I'd build an electric melee/fire armor brute. I used some AE farms to level him up and am at lvl 33. So I have Lightning Rod and Burn and the damage he does in AE is great!

Now the million dollar question. Is there a budget minded build that could take this toon into PVE and run at +2/x8 solo? Or am I totally dreaming? Budget minded is say 500 million or so. I know this kills purples for the most part, but they could be added later (which is what I did with my scrapper).

I'm a total newb to the AE farming and don't mind having that as an option but I prefer to team. So I'm really looking for more PvE oriented with the possibility to tank in a pinch.

So I am currently running through my 40s with my elec/fire brute in AE farms. I am actually farming them solo at +1/x8 right now. And I used tickets to SO my build out for the most part. Because AE can make you massive amounts of money through tickets you can farm for more and more tickets, SO your brute and replace the SOs with sets as you make the money on the auction house. If you are not sure what to buy with your tickets or don't want hassle then I suggest you buy diamonds and chrono skips and auction the for 1mil a piece, they cost 540 tickets and though it isn't the quickest money maker, you be able to grind out those sets and have an endless budget in a little while.
If you are feeling bold then bring some low level people into farms with you, for inspiration help.
Finally what is your primary attack chain. Mine is actually quite short and I hold back and do very little otherwise. Open with Fiery Embrace - Burn - Lightning Rod - Thunder Strike - Consume, activate at will whenever things recharge.

Mu Robes.

You can do +2/8 with Council, and I think Family and CoT. My grandmother could do +2/8 with Council, and she's dead.
