Taunt however allows you to 6 slot Mocking Beratement which cheap and awesome.

I agree with that. I had terrible drops so my last farm made almost 18M in 25 mins so that's about 40M per hour. Factor in good drops and I could have pushed it to 60. With a more complete character, I will be able to kill faster so, perhaps 70 or 80. Pocket change, compared to what I can do with enhancement conversion/market in one hour. Speaking of, what do you guys think is the best strategy with Winter packs? Buy em, keep em until the event dies out is a no brainer, but what then? Sell them unopened or open them and market the contents at a nice profit rate?

Thank you so much for this!

Oh wow! I'll switch to buying them until the event is done then! And I just did a little experiment of my own. My farming character is a spine/fire brute, all decked out, not entirely purpled out yet but the other purple sets would only add to my survivability which is already to the roof. I`m not 100% incarnate either but I have a solid alpha, judgement, interface and hybrid going already. Started a +4 x8 fire farm with well spread large groups that kept me in battle 95% of the time. Disables XP earning and went to town non stop for 25 mins. When I was done, net gain, including everything I could sell from what I earned in there (no recipes worth crafting alas) made me 17,750,000 inf. That is 630K by minute. I am starting to call BS on those "I can farm 6M a minute" claims 😛 However, since I adapted my pricing strategy as it was suggested by awesome people here, marketing things has never been so lucrative. Out of 30 things pur for sale, 26-28 will sell in the first two days for a reasonable profit. Thanks for the learning tip 🙂

Amazing! Thanks! Time to respec!

Very cool build! Is Rad a resistance set like Fire? My tank is Fire/Staff so I imagine it's similar?

My tanker was used to fire-farm a while so I built him that way. Turns out I really enjoy farming so now I have a fire brute for the job. I'd like to make my tanker into a generalist again so I can play the game content. Is there anyone with a Fire/Staff build that is NOT geared toward farming? I'm already familiar with incarnated and, being an ex farmer, INF is not an issue. I really suck at making builds...

They go for 10M right now, this is not their usual price?

I didn't know packs went on sales sometimes. All of them or just the winter packs?

Funny you should say that. I need to validate that I do not indeed have a CoH addiction. Back in 2000, i had a huge problematic addiction to Everquest and then after that, every MMO scared me a little. The WoW years were pretty intense too. Now, at my ripe old age, I like to claim "Pah! I can stay away as much as the next guy!" Can I? I have a D&D game this Saturday and I need to focus on preparation and really walk away for a few hours. Tomorrow is another day and my characters will still be there. If for any reason I log on tonight, even if it "just to check my auctions", I will know there's a problem...

Well, I need to keep putting things for sale if I want the magical magic to happen 🙂

Broke the 500 million bar yesterday. Would have been 600 millions (or even more if I had stayed focused on him) but my Farmer-in-training absorbed 100 Million for her mid-career build and of course, when I play her, I'm not marketting.

The question is: Will they black out the "They have taken our fancy travel away from us!" cries? I'll let you ponder that while I roll a EM Scrapper.

Ooooooohh I LOVE the new teleport system! A very nice and good reason to go around and EXPLORE! You guys rock so hard it's almost painful 💛

So. Much. Love. You guys are beyond excellent! Seriously!! I'm going to look at those builds and try to understand them. I might also look into making my tank into something more "general purpose" and then create me a real farming brute. I really like playing AE farms: they're easy, relax, no nonsense. I even found a color scheme for a spine/fire that doesn't make me want to scoop my eyes out. I might try that (the brute, not the scooping) since it's SO popular, I want to see what all the fuss is about. But for now, Morfaust will remain a fire-farm tank until I decide.

Don't worry about it. Besides, my addiction to Super Packs left me with only 11 Million, I need to wait for my things to sell before I can afford new things if I need to change them 😄 Thanks for the help!

Very interesting! Now that you mention it, putting a full LotG in my attack was... dumb. I'll sell the set and put the second ATO I forgot to get. Yes, this guy will purely farm so he can provide inf to my other less specialised characters. How do you increase the value of an IO? I thought you couldn't combine those. If you want to spec me something, go right ahead! Comparing it to what I came up with would be a good learning experience. Only if you don't mind, though 🙂 I would move the Firery Embrace slot to Consume and add an 4th item of the set with End/Acc to get both these values from 45 to 72 and to get the 10% regen set buff.

The big one... Excelsior? You know. That name I click EVERY FLIPPIN DAY and I never bothered to memorize? On and thought experiment. I tried a few minutes of the same fire farm at +1, +2 and +3. Here are the rewards. At +1, everything melts like butter on my CPU, no threat to my character whatsoever. At +2, things die relatively fast. Boss take a few extra hits. My HP remained capped most of the time, my End didn't need much love. At +3, things die slow and bosses take forever: this build is not single target happy. I had to watch my health constantly. I think that for now, +2 is the sweet spot. It may be approx 60% the rewards of +3, but things fall MUCH MUCH faster.

Enthusiastic you say? I'm ecstatic! I'm having 10 times the fun I had on live! I just hope I can team up with some of you some time!!

Yes I have those. And if it's too massive, respecs ate cheap, like 1.5 Mil or so. I'm going to post my build here. It's the first time I do something like this so expect newbie mistakes by the TRUCKLOAD. Also: I just realized I forgot to use one of my two ATO lines 😞 (But hey, that's 60 millions cheaper, right? Right? ... 😞 ) Here be my build. Or should I post the whole long post here?

@Outrider_01 That's more maths than my brain can brain 🙂 (Seriously it's not that complicated but I'll have to take it bit by bit) As for my shiny new spec: I'm... not impressed. With generic IOs that were never refreshed as I levelled. I could do x8+1 eyes closed and x8+2 with some caution. With this full spec, I can do x8+3 but I find myself inspiration-dependant a lot and things take forever to die... Then again since I brought a friend to level him, the bosses were elite bosses. Anyways. About 160 Million and I'm not sure I did it right.

Can a proc happen on a passive power like Stamina? I'm guessing not but it's better to ask.

I just leveled my first 50 character! Thank you for all the awesome help homecoming!! So what's next? Is there a simple guide to incarnates? (I know that is a very long, detailed one but I would like to start slow and learn) It's my first time playing with sets EVER! I want to learn on my own as much as possible, I will therefore never ask for a build, but is there a guide or a list of recommendation of what set fits what situation? In my case, I have a fire/staff tank used mostly for fire farms so I know that I need to look for set bonuses that enhance regen and help me reach defense soft cap since I'm pretty much set with resists. I'm playing around on Mids but there is so much choice, I'm drowning in numbers!! Thanks in advance for any and all advice.

Honestly I don't want to aim at the inf cap/ceiling. I just want to be able to easily afford sets when I binge on a new alt.

@SaikochoroCame here following our discussion. Fantastic guide! I'm going to push my Stalker ahead and give that Smore and Mirror TF a try. I really appreciate when people take time to write clean, well thought guides like this. Thank you.
