**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.)
