Savage/Bio Brute S/L active farmer.

[JimmyWhispers]

HI, this my first brute build i chose savage/bio. I think this build is ok, i don't know if i could switch things around like instead of static discharge i go savage leap(?) but any help would be nice. This is  suppose to be a S/L active farming. I tried to do a fire farmer but couldn't get bio up there.

• Take Maiming Slash instead of Savage Strike. It has higher DPA.
• Not sure why you're skipping the %dmg procs on Mako's Bite, Touch of Death and Bombardment.
• DNA Siphon requires accuracy (you need to turn off Blood Thirst to correctly see your accuracy). Slot Touch of the Nictus instead of Preventive Medicine.
• I wouldn't devote so many slots to Evolving Armor. The buff is pretty small. It's a good place to slot the Gladiator's Armor +def unique (which you skipped).
• Genetic Contamination is a damage aura. Obliteration provides a ton of recharge (which it doesn't need) but not much end reduction (which it does). Switch to a set with more end reduction. You could also redeploy 2-3 slots elsewhere - I typically slot acc/dmg, acc/dmg/end, dmg/end.
• %end proc is poorly placed in Parasitic Aura. It needs to be in an active power. Move it to Stamina or Inexhaustible. Consider slotting Parasitic Aura with a Heal set to enhance the +absorb and +regen (Mid's doesn't show these buffs unless you move the Targets slider).
• In Blood Thirst, swap the tohit for tohit/rech
• Not sure why you're deferring Inexhaustible to lvl 49, but it's fine if all you do is farm and never exemp. Consider adding Heal enhancements for the hit point buff.
• Savage Leap is a good power, but maybe not for farming (the damage increases the farther you leap). It does have a pretty big AoE.
• You skipped the Shield Wall +res unique. 
• If you're willing to lose some of the set bonuses, you could definitely redeploy 1-2 slots each from Maneuvers, Weave, Environmental Modification and Hardened Carapace.

With Stealth, you lose all but 2.89% of the def boost when engaged in combat, which in a farm is 100% of the time.

And I think your resists are too high. You're losing out on some procalicious damage. A big part of Bio's damage mitigation is its regen and shields. I farm with the same power sets with just a base of 77% S/L resist and 20% S/L def. Farming is about surviving just well enough to kill fast AF. Clear time is king.

Also, Bio needs global recharge, as much as you can pack in there because it's a clicky set and that's how it survives. I would dump Stealth and pickup Hasten.

I would also proc out Vic Slash and add a FF +recharge in the mix...actually proc out Rending Flurry, Sav Leap, and Hemorrhage as well. All of those have great proc % chances.

 

As is, I think your build will survive a farm but you'll be there for a while.

This is what it was changed into. Im really not a big fan of procs. am i just going to have to have Blood Thirst up at all times to hit?

This is mine. A vet here on the forums put it together for me, because like you I leaned hard on survivability, but the damage output was just never there. So, she hooked me up. I did tweak it a bit from her original build to suit my playstyle better. This build is good for farms and all content. It also exemps very well. Maybe it can give you some ideas.
