Best AE Farming build?

[Tinker]

Is there a forum already about this? What do yall think the best farm build is for AE farming? Could someone provide me a build?

And best isn't always the best, just the most optimal.  I prefer savage melee, just flows faster compared to radiation melee.  Had Psi melee, some how ground 250 vet levels before switching to savage melee.

I do not like farming.  I do have a rd/fire brute and a ss/fire brute for farming. I much prefer the rad/fire as i do not feel the need to time myself to the rage crash

This is my latest Psi/Fire for farming, but I haven't built into it.  Its similar in style to my other fire brutes with a different primary.  Note that everything is +5 boosted, but in reality just the defense IO to put you over 45% soft cap and the plain recharge reduction IO like in Hasten.  So maybe a total of 20 million in boosters.

------------

The only downside is the Psi Melee effect Insight, it almost never triggers except with Mass Levitate.  So you don't get the full run of the effect, can get a few ML in the process but it would be nice if it went off before the power does.  Savage Melee has a better trigger, its combo can be triggered in the BU power and it lasts for 15 seconds with the +DMG effect after its consumed.

The first farming brute I ever made was a dm/fire. If my memory serves me right, he worked really well. 

 

Years later, here on Homecoming, I first made a spines/fire. I like him a lot and think he was the fastest - for me. For some stupid reason I deleted him.

 

I then built an ss/fire which I did not like - at all. Did not like dealing with the rage crash in a farming scenario, and I love footstomp, but hearing it a bagillion times in a row got annoying.

 

Currently farming with a rad/fire. Seems pretty good, but I've only got him lightly kitted out - nothing real fancy. Might re-roll a spines/fire or something else and seriously pimp it out since I know I'm not maximizing my farming speed with the limited io investment atm.
