What's the flavor of the month PVE farm brute?

[crimson72]

If your goal is to merely destroy large packs of mobs as quickly and efficiently as possible?  

 

I just want to make a brute so I can kill tons of mobs, get tons of inf, and drops, and even power level some people.

Rad/ Elec Brute all you need for a farm is 45% defense in whatever category your farming

Eletric Armor you can go Smashing/Lethal defense, then run energy farms preferably with out Electric Melee / Blast (endurance drain), Energy Blast / Melee is easier to fight against if you have some +KB resist.

Couple threads to help you out:

Personally, I'm still rolling with an old school Spines/Fire brute, dual boxing, with a Inv/SS tank on follow (w/ Foot Stomp on auto).  Still running @BigGotter's tunnel fire farms, usually with EBs.  Certainly not AFK-able and probably not the fastest or most optimized out there, but it works.

i hate farming, only do it because of my new obsession with prismatic costumes (prisms were over 4.5m each yesterday!)

 

spines/fire. dont dual box. the character cant die normally, but recently if i zone out/micronap (regularly) while farming ive noticed a crash that happens where theyll end up killing me.

 

dunno what it is, sometimes my health just plummets, and youre needing like 4x good lucks to plug the hole. 

 

i do that big mob tunnel one mainly, no elite bosses, it seems slower to have them on, less inf and no appreciable drop change i notice.

I've never done a direct comparison (time vs. infl), but my "feels meter" says I get more purple drops with the EB one.  Probably should "farm" some data...  I do average right at 15 min. on the non-EB and about 20-25 on the EB version, depending on how focused I am.  I don't use any of the insp combining binds, either, I just chew what drops and when I notice three of a kind, convert to reds.  Whatever drops for the tank, I give to the brute, as well.

 

I also move on, after all the Lts and Bosses are dead, dragging the remaining EBs with me, to the next mob.  Having the tank tagging along is a HUGE plus, to keep stragglers aggro'd and hugging close.  Even though NUT's an ITF-focused build, he just stands there and shrugs off the fire attacks, while stomping away.  Lots of AOE to keep whittling them down and I'll reach over to the other keyboard and throw some KoBs in there, as well.
