Mageman Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I have a Rad/Fire/Mu Brute and a Spines/Fire/Mu Brute farmers (one on each of my two accounts). I was playing and I thought about having a Fire/Fire/Pyre brute as a farmer - and using Mids Reborn I found that the Fire/ doesn't have many PBAoE damage like Rad/ or Spines/ - which will probably be not as good a farmer. So I started thinking about changing my Rad/Fire from /Mu Mastery to /Pyre Mastery and I like the idea - I don't use Summon Stalker in Mu Mastery, so with /Pyre I get 3 attacks instead of 2. I would appreciate your suggestions on improving this build. Note - I dropped vengeance so I could take Super Speed for a travel power and slotted Prestige Power Slide with a +Stealth for doing missions when leveling.

HelenCarnate Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 You get 1 aoe instead of 2. Mu is better for farming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Pyre Mastery, you get Fire Cages, Fire Blast, and Fire Ball. That's 3 AoEs instead of the 2 in Mu Mastery at the expense of losing a pet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you're talking about Fire/ instead of Rad/ or Spines/ - I know that Fire Melee has fewer AoEs, that's why I didn't create one.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get: Ring of Fire - ST Char - ST Fire Blast - ST, Awfully named since we all understand a Blast should be AoE, so I understand the confusion. Melt Armor - AoE but no damage and only accepts 2 damage procs. Fire Ball - AoE So effectively only 1 AoE at the expense of 3 slots instead of 2 necessary.

Mageman Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Yes, I thought Fire Blast was an AoE based on the name. Ring of Fire - I was thinking Fire Cages (AoE immobilize) since Mu has Electrifying Fences (which is an AoE immobilize). Now that I understand this, I agree that Mu is better than Pyre. I would love Fire/Fire/Pyre brute if it made a better farmer. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeraphimKensai Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The best farmer money can buy is a rad/fire/mu brute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vet level 60 Spines/Fire/Mu brute and a vet level 30 Rad/Fire/Mu brute for farming. Personally, I prefer the Spines/ over the Rad/ brute. This could be because the Rad/ doesn't have all the incarnates yet and still doesn't have all the best I/Os. I would have thought that a Fire/Fire/Pyre brute would be about the same, but Fire/ doesn't have enough PBAoEs and AoEs and /Pyre doesn't have as many AoEs that /Mu does. Too bad, I would have liked to have something that's all fire and close to as good instead of mix and match to get the best. Unfortunately, Fire/Fire/Pyre brute isn't even close to the other two.

This could be because the Rad/ doesn't have all the incarnates yet and still doesn't have all the best I/Os. Once the rad/fire is fully built it definitely overtakes the spines/fire, especially if you're running a map with Elite Bosses as you have another potential source of -resistance to apply which spines can't make up for. Also the casting time for atom smasher is quicker than spine burst, plus with the contamination aspect, you can get a reasonable chunk of extra AoE damage built into the rotation. That said the differences aren't going to turn a 4 minute run in arc 125 into a 3 minute run, but become significantly more noticeable on the larger/longer maps with EBs in them.

Rylas Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 As someone that resisted changing away from Rad/Fire/Pyre, I can tell you that Rad/Fire/Mu is definitely faster. I ate plenty of crow once I gave it a try. The four AoE's (Ball Lightning, Burn, Elec Fences and Atom Smasher – cycled in that order) on a high perma Hasten build turn out way more DPS.
