Scubamoose Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Heya, Im a returning player back in for about a month after 13 years off lol. I was issue 1 through shutdown back in the day but so much has changed and I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. Ive got a spines/fire brute almost fully IO'd at this point. Figured id start with a farmer just to get my inf back to a place where I can freely experiment again. Curious about what people are running for buffers while multi boxing. Are there preferred semi afk power sets that you can get good value from? Was thinking Kin and FF for dmg and def/res but I'm sure there's some min maxing info out there that I'm missing.. Thanks!!! 1
Octogoat Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Id go one brute active farmer of your preferred set and two mms of kin and ff 1

For the most part; buffing yourself with another account isn't worth it when farming. You get a greater return (still!) from running three different independent farms. Two accounts each running an AFK farmer (a melee toon at 90% Resistance and 45% Defence + at least 35 HP/Sec passive Regeneration; with 2x Damage Auras and one big PBAoE attack set to autofire); and the third account running an Active Farmer (which doesn't need as much survivability; just lots of high-damage AoEs to spam on everything). If you're just starting out; and you don't have at least one farming toon min/maxxed yet; then sure you could grab a reasonably-tough melee toon plus a Cold Domination buffbot to shore up their Defense and Fire Resistances. But you definitely won't need a Kinetic... as whenever you're Active farming; you should be combining and chugging red inspirations and therefore always be at or near the damage cap anyway. AA's farming guide here is still relevant (at least until the build that's on Beta right now hits Live; and all the folk currently using Tankers swap back to Brutes again!) 😛 Edited June 4 by Maelwys
MoonSheep Posted June 4 Posted June 4 rather than farming would you like a bunch of inf for your main? feels a shame to come back and be sat in AE rather than re-living the good times. DM me your global if this would help you get playing i would also say that IOs are nice to have but they arent critical when teaming. once you hit 50 you’ll quickly earn enough inf through playing to get kitted out, IOs are around 5 times cheaper than what they were on live 1 If you're not dying you're not living
Maelwys Posted June 4 Posted June 4 Actually... yeah. What Moon said. If you're just back and your goal isn't actually farming just for the sake of farming (I actually quite enjoy generating wares for the AH rather than just flipping them) then there are plenty of folk who will gladly mail you a sizable chunk of of starter cash. And FWIW "Marketeering" (or at least playing Enhancement Convertor Roulette) is often a much faster way to gain raw influence. There's a whole forum dedicated to it. If you don't actually want to farm influence; and you don't want to bother playing the market... just play the game. Whilst levelling up; save your merits and trade them for Enhancement Boosters/Convertors to sell. Then at 50, just play whatever content you like. Inf (and drops) will flow.

I still do it - but it's usually to get a character over some hurdle that I'm too impatient to wait for. 9 hours ago, Maelwys said: buffing yourself with another account isn't worth it when farming.
