New player budget build

[Masheenz]

I'm looking for a good PVE farm build for SS/Fire to mostly level other hero/villians alts solo. Is there anything current on a tight budget that would help? I have mids and have looked at other builds but I find myself lacking the infamy to get all the needed enhancements from the market YET. Is there a preferred map anyone uses also? Thanks for any tips and help given in advance.

Don't have a build for you (I'm an old-school Spines/Fire broot farmer for FFs), but the @BigGotter's Big Mobs tunnel map still works for me.

 

There are several guides for making easy infl/infamy, outside of farming, so you might want to check out @Sovera's signature for "money making"...and if you're in for a majorly enjoyable and informative story, read @Yomo Kimyata's "Journey to a billion influence" (or something like that)

Currently: Tunnel: 64871 & 60722 (Halloweenish themed), Street/City: 46599, Carnival: 65726, Dreck: 65747, Tunnel w/EBs: 65788, AFK: 65952 ('Doodah Man' has some fun ones)

 

How low are you looking to go? (and I love what you are shooting for) 

 

L25 Entry Level Farmer 
L40 Farmer Build

L45 Farmer Build
L50 Farmer Build

 

I would suggest reading (It's older but great insights): 

 

Aegis 3 slotted and Scirocco's 5 slotted are a fire farmers friend. (only get to slot five powers typically 3-4 resist powers and 1-2 PBAoE)

I like my farmers to have 45% f/c defense as that eliminates worrying about popping purple insps. You won't have that luxury as you'll need to pay attention to rage crashes (-20% def), but popping 2 small purple inspirations before a rage crash will keep you above 45% f/c defense. This is a really quick rework of a spine/fire that I used to use before. Still hits 45% f/c defense and avoids purple IOs. Some things you will want to try and get, like the steadfast/glad armor +def uniques and LotG +rech. This build will be very endurance heavy, so craft Ageless Core destiny T4 first before anything else. Then you can add on musculature, interface, etc. 

 

I didn't spend to much time on this, so there may be some better slotting options and improvements. The goal was to keep it as cheap as possible by avoiding any purple/ATO/pvp IOs other than the necessary uniques. You shouldn't really even need to 3 slot LotG in Weave/Maneuvers if you want to save more influence, can easily replace the def and def/end ones with a cheaper Red Fortune def and def/end. Just need the LotG +rech to help with global recharge.

 

Again, monitor your blinking rage while farming to see when it's about to crash, low defense can still get you killed if you're hit enough even with 90% fire resist. You can also go to combat attributes (on the top bar after clicking "powers" on power tray), then go to defense attributes and right click on fire defense and hit monitor to have your fire defense total show up on screen for you to see.

Edit: I like to use the xtomic carnival map. Can just search "xtomic" in AE search bar.

50 build SS/Fire so Footstomp Burn Ball lightning chain lightning repeat perma hasten hopefully and full Fire dmg resistance on a budget. Am looking for a solo'er on the second build slot also with single target chains punch haymaker knockout blow punch haymaker etc I already slotted Obliterate on my fire proc aura and that might have been a huge expensive mistake however I'm not sure yet.

Hasten in my build probably won't be perma, but may be close depending on how often the force feedback +recharge procs go off for you. I accidentally left the procs turned on in Foot Stomp so it's counting the +100% recharge from the FF proc (those only last 5 seconds so it's not a permanent buff). For a cheap build, you're unlikely to hit perma hasten and 45% f/c defense at the same time.

Also, you should have a few free respecs available, you can always change things unless you've used them all. Type /respec into the chat window when you get into the game and you'll see if you have the option to repick your powers and power slots (you can always cancel by backing out and it won't consume the respec unless you finish the entire process).
