Thanks any idea why mids reborn saves builds as name.mbd, and crashes if it tries to open name.mxd files like given in the first post?
Edit:
Found it have to open builds by attempting to restore them

*.mxd was an old format used in earlier versions of Mids.

Newer copies of Mids Reborn should be able to import those builds OK; but it won't always get everything 100% right (some powers may have since had their mechanics or prerequisites changed by a patch or even been replaced entirely... and stuff like Accolades and Incarnates will likely need reselected!). So some poking may be required! 🙂

HOW TO DAMAGE CAP YOURSELF WITH INSPS

 

Put the attached file "FarmPro.mnu" into your C:\Games\Homecoming\data\texts\English\menus folder. (Or whatever the path name is for your installation)

Then when you're in-game on your farmer, type the following into the chat and press enter:
 

/bind e "popmenu farmpro"

 

Then when you're in the farm, spam the "e" button to combine your inspirations into reds + eat them. (The "e" button will do both.)
 

So I've done this exactly as stated but when I spam the button, I'm met with this prompt and I NEED to click it to proceed... any ideas on how to bypass this?

the reason your spamming E is because to make the Enrage the hot key is E as well

How exacting are these builds? I have a Bio/Radiation Tank build in Mids and it has 44.9% S/L defense/84.2% S/L resistance (with zero ATO +res procs)/42.3 HP regen. My rationale is that having the ATO +res proc in Genetic Contamination will have me at 90% res at all times. Will the 44.9% S/L defense be an issue here?

Also, what's the best AFK Smash/Lethal farming currently? I just tested my build out and it works pretty well... but I can't seem to find the Smash/Lethal AFK farms mentioned in this forum post?

Being 0.1% S/L Defense short of the softcap won't be overly noticeable.

Having 84% Res rather than 90% however will be; assuming that you're planning to AFK-farm. If you're not AFK-farming then you won't need that level of passive +regeneration because you'll be there to pop DNA Siphon, Parasitic Aura and Ablative Carapace. Putting the SMoT proc in a toggle like Genetic Contamination might work as long as you're going to be constantly surrounded by enemies - with 6PPM and an 8ft Radius it'll have a 52.63% chance for activation and get an opportunity to kick in every 10 seconds.

I tested it on Beta, did 5 observed AFK runs and the build worked fine and only one time got below 2/3 health before the Preventative Medicine proc kicked in, then it jumped back to nearly 100%. The reason my res was so low is because I did slot the SMoT proc in Genetic Contamination, so I was a bit loose with chasing S/L set bonuses,  once it gets going it is always two stacked, I rarely saw my resistance below 90%, but I could see the first 10-20 seconds of any given AFK farm having the potential to cause issues.  

Thank you for posting those! I still don't get those results when I search "afk smash", but I was able to find them by searching the author.
