Just4Serveraccess Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 (edited) I've been looking for an alternative farming build since I don't care for the standard brute setup. I've used my electric/shield stalker and while it works well I know there are better, faster options. I wanted to try a blaster and Ice/Mental/Mu looks like a decent combo. I considered doing for a more defense based build using the Ice epic pool, but I'm not sure if that would be better. I'm thinking with the insane regen from Drain Psyche a resist build is probably better. According to Pines my build gets: 75% S/L resists 21.4% S/L defense 171.3% global recharge before ageless incarnate boost (If Drain Psyche hits 10 targets) 500% recovery 1747% regen (105.5 HP/sec, can be increased to 123 HP/sec with accolades) I think this should do fine in a S/L based AE farm I'm just looking for any tips on min maxing the build to increase defense or damage so I can clear runs faster. It's a pretty tight build but there are 1-2 slots I could move around maybe without losing any resists/defense. I'm currently leveling (in my 40s) I'll update the thread once I max and report back how it went. Any tips to improve this build? *edit updated build info Hero Plan by Mids' Hero Designer 1.962http://www.cohplanner.com/ Level 50 Magic BlasterPrimary Power Set: Ice BlastSecondary Power Set: Mental ManipulationPower Pool: SpeedPower Pool: LeapingPower Pool: FightingPower Pool: ConcealmentAncillary Pool: Mu Mastery Hero Profile:Level 1: Ice Blast (A) EmptyLevel 1: Subdual (A) EmptyLevel 2: Frost Breath (A) Positron's Blast -

Giocondi Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Never farmed with a blaster but I think you need to get a lot more S/L defense. I get that you are counting on Regen to heal back the highly resisted dmg but I don't think it will work well with that low of defense. Reply to this thread if it does in fact work out as is!

r0y Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I suppose it depends on what you are farming and how you go about it. Personally, when I farm, it is all about speed. Period. While blasters present more burst damage for faster nuking of mobs, their hit point pool and defense/resists are too low. Even capped, 75% resists are pretty weak against +4's that will be hitting at least 5% of the time. Even with the recent tanking changes, I still feel that Brutes are the sweet spot for farming, if one is trying to be as effective as possible and farm in the shortest amount of time.
