EmmySky Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 (edited) My tank farmer has two builds, one I modified from help here on the forums and a second that a new friend in-game made for me. I need help blending these two builds so that I get more of what I want/like and less of what I don't want/like. (builds are listed in the thread below) I LOVE Ripper so I definitely want to keep it. Didn't like Impale or Lunge so already ditched those. Don't use Throw Spines so it can go. Don't need Focused Accuracy as I carry that in the Tactics. Honestly the entire epic pool can go if there is a better option. I usually run with Hasten on auto so probably need to keep that. I can do with or without Combat Jumping, but I need Super Jump for travel. I LOVE Taunt so I can reach out and grab baddies that are just a bit outside my aura. I do enjoy Rise of the Phoenix so I'd like to keep it in even though its not strictly necessary on a lvl 50 tank. I'd also like to think about Vengeance instead of Victory Rush as some door sitters like to throw themselves on the pyre for the cause, although I always think a dead enemy is better than a dead friend. Acrobatics is maybe helpful maybe not...don't currently use it but not sure if it'd add anything. Rarely use Build Up so it can be traded as well. I don't use Barb Swipe much at all but have to take it as a T! in Secondary....might be wasting slots there. This toon has all incarnate slots open but I am only working one at a time, she's T3 Alpha with Agility (help end mod and recharge...its core I think...incarnates are new to me). This is primary a farmer but she has run MSR and Banners as well as gone up against a few GMs out and about. I want her to be more well rounded to run TFs and stuff as well as just farm. I have noticed on the main build her lethal and smashing and fire resists are all 90% and the lowest, psi, runs around 34 - 45 % so I want to see about getting any below 90 up a bit if possible. I am just learning about all this set stuff and how to slot it to advantage. As I said...these are modified builds but the basics came from other people....I couldn't tell you why a certain set is slotted in a certain place or why there are X number of them. That's what I'm trying to figure out. If you can help me get one good build out of this I would greatly appreciate it! I don't want to burn too many respecs so ideally I wanna do this ONE MORE TIME and get her PHENOMENAL!! Thank you for your time in reading all this!

Odhinn Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 For some clarification are you looking for just a farming build or a farming and content build? I have two build on my farmer one for farming and one for regular content. I will assume you mean fire farms. At a quick glance it looks like the first one would be OK for general content. It gets close to the S/L defense with a buff, purple, or Barrier incarnate it is there. Also, Resilient Alpha caps S/L Resist. Though there are definitely things I would do different it does especially well given the lack of very expensive IO sets. I would not want to run a fire farm with either build. Allow me throw out some general considerations in regard to making this a farming build. Please note these are just my viewpoints and the most important consideration is that you enjoy your toon and have fun. Firstly I would not want to try to farm on a tank. I love tanks but not to farm with. This may change dependent on the Tanker changes being considered by the team. Throw spines is a great power and absolutely should be in your rotation. Combat Jumping is a good power for a bit of defense with very low END costs. You need more AOE damage for farning so you will want look at an epic pool that provides it, MU is a popular choice. To farm you need damage and more damage consider switching to the the Musculature for your Alpha. Lastly Mocking Beratement is a great set to put in consume.

Many people have asked why I farm with a tank....she is durable. If I have to step away from my computer for a moment she will still be alive. Both of these builds farm quite well so I dont know if the numbers you see in Mids or whatever are different than in-game play. The second build uses end where the first one doesn't..unless I am up against drainers but that is always a problem. And yes I would like one build to suffice for both farming and content. Again, the first build has done quite well at MSR and everything I have taken her to. I think I will keep CJ for that smidge of defense and I will see if I can find Mocking Beratement for Consume. Right now I am opening patron pools to give the Mu lightening AoE a shot. Still lookong for a way to raise resist on psi, well on everything that isn't lethal , smashing and fire as those three are at 90. Also I want to maximize damage from the AoEs I just don't know which sets are best because I am new to IOs and dont really understand them yet. All good suggestions. Thanks again!
