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.

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.

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.

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.

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). AA_AFKFIRE_STONERADTANK_Page5.mxd

**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.) AA_ACTIVE_SL_Page5.mxd AA_AFK_SL_Page5.mxd FarmPro.mnu
