Can a Spines/FA scrapper farm effectively without purps?

As the title suggests. I love my scrapper, it's a fun AOE build for teaming. Now I was wondering if with the right defense % it can also have a build for farming well without the need for purps? Thanks in advance!

I used to use my Spines/FA for fire farms, you can build up fire defense and recharge but don't expect much of anything else. It's really not fun to farm with though, it's very slow because burn makes mobs go berserk on a Scrapper. I ended up rolling an SS/Fire Brute instead and it works much better... He sits at 35% fire defense and capped resists, obviously.

I have a build towards 40% fire defense with decent recharge. So would you say even with that, I'd need to be poping purps?

I personally like to keep one purple running on my Brute at all times to put me past the 45% mark, not that it's necessary but it means that I'll never have to use healing flames, which is good for speed.

All right, thanks for your replies, man.
