Thank you for the reply! And for the fire farm build what's with this about keeping alpha at t3 for kb protection? I don't see anything about kb prot in its info u less I'm missing something..? Any other incarnates that need to be kept at t3? 

Let me change that. Should say at least Tier 3. Tier 3 or Tier 4 both work.

 

The reason why is that it provides a level shift which decreased the value of incoming KB attacks from the mobs.

@EmpradDon't toggle on Focused Acuracy, it's a set mule.You need all your incarnates. If you're having endurance troubles, switch one of the damage procs in Atom Smasher to a Dam/End IO +5'd.

 

@Vinyl RichieThe mobs have 0% AoE defense.

I just made the S/L afk build and I'll say that i dont have any incarnates on him yet so I don't have agility or ageless to help but I sent him in the 5 min afk farm and his end crashed in less than a minute with all 11 toggles and just atom smasher on auto.. are all 11 toggles nessicary? Will agility and ageless fix this? Other than the end problem it seems like an amazing afk build though, thank you!

Shouldn't be end crashing. Let me check tomorrow. I think you might be toggling on something that's just a set mule, but it's been a while since I messed with the build so will need to double check.

AA, thanks for contributing so much to the farming community.

I had a question or two for AA or any others that might have used the build posted. I wanted to ask a few questions on how you typically pilot this. 

It looks like you use Luck candy to maintain defense, do you add Storm Kick to the rotation for the defense, or just double Luck at all times?

 

What is your typical rotation? I thought it might be DT > BL > EF but that doesn't seem enough to fill the void. Then I thought perhaps it is
DT > BL > EF > (RT or GZ or SK rotate thru these on attack 4, 8, and 12) but that also seemed to have some dead space.

 

I know oftentimes builds don't play out exactly how they seem on paper, so in reality maybe it plays smoothly. I've never loved the spell effects/sounds of fire farm, so I'd love to transition over to SL just for no other reason, I wanted to inquire to make sure I understand the build properly.

Seconded.  I was surprised at the low S/L defense when looking at the build.  The provided bind/menu only combines inspirations to reds, nothing for purples.  I guess I could try it out on test but it looks like it would be taking a lot of damage without much defense.

 

The two purple insps you load in with should have you capped for the first 60s. You have the heals, absorb, and purple insp drops to keep you alive in the 120s that follows before you reset the map.

yes with the fire farmer you need to add a kb universal travel or a kb steadfast into the build unless you are maxed on everything you will get almost perma knocked down and spin in circles in the air.

 

For a rad/fire brute, Temperature Protection + Alpha Slot level shift will stop KB by themselves. The build in the OP has both.

 

If you haven't got alpha to tier 3 yet, then just put a blessing of the zephyr KB IO in superspeed.

Good catch! Minerals + Crystal Armor together help shave off another 0.5s on the Atom Smasher recharge.

 

Have amended my post, above.

[Page 7 Farming Microguide (Maps + Builds)]

Inspired by @Crowcus Pocus's thread yesterday about Rad/Stone brutes, I had a mess around in Mids with a Stone/Rad Granite-less Tank for AFK fire farming.

 

Turned out really good! Doesn't need accolades or P2W buffs. And compared to the Elec/Rad, its Atom Smasher recharges 1s quicker. Probably the best overall AFK fire farmer!

 

Build is attached. Don't use Rock Armor, Tough, or Granite. They're just set mules.

 

This is for fire farming. So use maps #51289 (5 mins) or #38973 (10 mins).

**FEBRUARY 2023 SMASHING/LETHAL UPDATE**
 

Okay, so after a bunch of testing, the best active farmer is a Rad/MA Tank, and the best AFK farmer is an Elec/Rad Tank.

 

Builds & Maps are below:

ACTIVE FARMING

Build: For Active Farming (i.e. you at your computer actively playing) use the attached build called "AA_ACTIVE_SL_Page5"

 

Map:

For 10 min Active farming use map #54399

Settings:
+4/8 Difficulty
AVs set to on. (This will keep the helper alive.)
 

How to Play:
Buy 2 small purple inspirations, and 18 small red inspirations. Enter the map, pop the insps. Spam your AoEs and everything will die. There's a helper in the map who will summon phantom army's to help you bunch up the mobs. (You can do the same with your banished pantheon lore pet. Although I'd recommend saving the lore pet for when the helper NPC spawns too far away from the centre of the map.) You'll want to pick up the Increased Attack Rate base buff and Offense Amplifier P2W buff. (Although this is not required.)

Note: If you have a Rad/SS tank already, it's pretty much just as good. Just use the same build, but switch out Storm Kick/Focus Chi/Dragon's Tail for Jab/Rage/Footstomp
 

 

AFK FARMING

Build: For AFK farming use the attached build called "AA_AFK_SL_Page5"

 

Note: Do not toggle on Focused Accuracy. It's just a set mule.

 

Map:

For 5 min AFK farming use map #54401

For 10 Min AFK farming use map #54400

Settings:
+4/8 Difficulty

 

How to play:

Jump into middle of map. Hit assault hybrid +ageless as you leap. Put Atom Smasher on auto. Come back every 5/10 mins to reset.

 

MAKING YOUR OWN FARM

Not a fan of the meteor map? Pick whatever map you want and then give your mobs the following power selections:

 

Minions:

 

Lieutenants:


Bosses (Both Active & AFK):

 

HOW TO DAMAGE CAP YOURSELF WITH INSPS

 

Put the attached file "FarmPro.mnu" into your C:\Games\Homecoming\data\texts\English\menus folder. (Or whatever the path name is for your installation)

Then when you're in-game on your farmer, type the following into the chat and press enter:
 

/bind e "popmenu farmpro"

 

Then when you're in the farm, spam the "e" button to combine your inspirations into reds + eat them. (The "e" button will do both.)
