Spines/Fire Brute Help!

[ApistoNate]

HELP! I have never created a fire farmer and need some help. I know I need fire resist hard capped at 90% and fire defense at least soft capped at 45%. From what I can tell a 300%+ regen rate is optimal for a fire farmer and DPS is also super important. I was hoping someone might take a quick look at my build in mids and provide some assistance. I'll post the text build and data to import to mids. I have parts of this build correct I think in terms of getting some of the correct stats like resist, defense and regen but I'm having trouble figuring out how to slot enough damage buffs and recovery/end redux into the plan. I'd like to not have to take cardiac for my alpha is possible to prioritize damage over endurance reduction via cardiac. Any help is better than none! I really want to learn how to do this. Thanks in advance!

I'm without access to a PC until Friday, but you really need to decide if you want to AFK Farm or Active Farm (the two have very different build goals) and also if you're completely wedded to the idea of a Brute or not (since Tankers are considerably more effective for farming in all but a few specific powerset combos and Spines/FA isn't one of them)

Don’t even bother with the regeneration bonuses unless you’re making an AFK build. An AFK build usually has Energy Mastery, so I’m assuming this is an active build.

[ApistoNate]

I think so far it's just happened that the regen ended up being halfway decent. Not going for an AFK build as I prefer actually playing the game. I already have a spines/fire farmer with incarnates and the build is old from a friend who made it a couple years ago so it does the job just not as well as I'd like it to. I like Brute's for the fury Bonus. I know some people in game who farm with Corrs and multiboxing with a blaster and tanks so I know other archtypes can be used but for (in my mind) simplicities sake I'd like to stick with the Brute I already have.

Then check AA's "Active" Spines/FA Brute build here (I linked the thread above already but this is likely the specific post you'll want)
