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.

Looking for Farm feedback,

 

I put together a fire farm working off this guide and would like some of you to try it.  I'm pretty sure I'm getting max xp, but if you could see any ways to add more mobs or something I'm not aware of, let me know.

 

The Farm ID is  65650

Hi have you a link to your Bio/Rad Tank build please, I'm building a Bio/Rad build currently and would like to see if there's any improvements yours may have to offer. please

For sure! This is the build 😄 

The +res proc is always up once you get some mobs around you. You only need one stack to hit 90% res. I tested it on Beta server and if you have all 4 accolades and/or the P2W Survival Amplifier it is tough enough to survive Smash/Lethal AFK farms. I did have to go Agility Core Alpha to be able to get to 44.9% Smash/Lethal defense.
