Elec/Spines Tank Firefarm Build

[jazirrin]

Hi all, just wanted to share this build that I made. I know she isn't perfect by any means, but she's tons of fun to play. I'm still pretty new to the game (or newly come back anyways), and my skin is thick- I'd love any feedback.

 

She's my main farmer at this point, and does amazing in the firefarms at max difficulty (50+4/8).

 

Highlights:

 

-Has permahaste, so her three AOE rotation is basically always revolving

-Doesn't need Cardio, Ageless, OR the SMART vendor regen things to run, meaning she was able to take Barrier for a team buff/ revive and musculature for a bit of added DPS

-Has two DPS toggle auras for constant fun (KD procs in both)

A few things that jump out:

• If you're fairly often using this for farming, I would try to add build up into the build. Similarly for farming, you'd ideally want to fit in mu mastery with fully slotted fences and ball of lightning.
• Imo, hover and CJ are absolutely not worth the slots you put into them. You could easily just mule those 2 powers for LotG+rech and move the slots to fences/ball of lightning mentioned above.
• Lightning armor doesn't specifically need to be built to run fire farms as there are s/l farms out there. For general content, it would perform better if you focused on s/l resist (easier to get thanks to tough) and defense (s/l is far more common than f/c attacks and AoE defense isn't anywhere near as useful as melee for a tank).
• You should be slotting spine burst for damage, not chasing bonuses with taunt set. It's one of your main AoE powers.
• Outside of looking really cool, power surge is useless due to the crash that it comes with imo.
• Hover is just not a great choice for lightning armor because you can lose the effects of grounded (which requires you to be near the ground).
• DPS toggles like Quils and Lightning Field only have a chance to proc once every 10 seconds, and that to at a low rate. Go for set bonus sets in there rather than procs.
• There is no good reason to slot stamina or health so much, you've got power sink and an on demand heal in energize.
• Ageless while not needed would help with farm speed. However if you are using the char for general content, then Barrier is a great choice.

Below is a very quick build and can definitely be further improved, but achieves higher damage, has more AoEs, near perma hasten, better slotting for general content with soft cap melee defense and near to it for s/l. I'm sure there's a relatively easy wait to hit 45% on s/l with some minor changes. This should be used on s/l farms.
