My first fire farming (Rad/Fire) build


Nayland1971

Recommended Posts

So this is my first attempt at a farming brute. Someone who I've seen reliably farm sent me his build, and this is based off of it. So unfortunately and questions of "why did you pick x instead of y" will be met with "because the other guy's build was that way." Sorry. You have to start somewhere, I guess.

 

The survivability is good so far but I've been testing it very modestly - first with +0x1, then +1x1, then +2x2, etc. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do +4x8 with these bargain bin enhancements.

 

Endurance seems to be an issue, though. I find that blue bar starting to run out before Consume comes back up. I thought that Superior Conditioning would help with that, but apparently not (or at least, not enough). Maybe I should have put recharge reducers in Consume instead? Any tips would be appreciated.

The fire farming "bible" thread:

 

Ageless Destiny, once unlocked, will fix all your end woes.

 

You're also missing two (not really bank buster) uniques:  Steadfast Protection 3% Def. & Gladiator's Armor 3% Def.  Those will get you *almost* to the soft cap for Fire defense (44.66%).

That's great because, even though I had seen some Incarnate guides, I was overwhelmed by the options and didn't know where to start. This gives me something to work with. Thanks!

Welcome.

 

Ageless Core Epiphany, as you don't need the DDR from Ageless Radial, since this is a fire farming specific build.

There is also a budget version in the guide section as well. Granted, it is for Spines/fire, but it would give you enough of an idea of how to do it cheaply. I use a variation or exact copy of the listed fastest one for Rad/fire, but it isn't cheap. I was doing +2/x8 on level 25 commons, so that should give you a base line of what to expect. End was a mild issue until Incarnates. You ideally want capped Def/Res for Fire. Go Recharge after that. 

Top 10 Most Fun 50s.

1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute. 8. Emma Strange: Ill/dark. 9. Nothing But Flowers: Plant/storm Controller. 10. Obsidian Smoke: Fire/dark Corr.
