Looking for a Battle Axe/Fire build

[Sidious]

Hi I'm starting a farmer and am looking for a battle axe/fire build to go with.

I'd appreciate any help you could give. This is my first farmer.

[HelenCarnate]

If you are starting  a /fire farmer, Axe is not the way to go.  Sure it can farm but will be much slower than Spines or Rad.  If you really want a weapon set to farm with go with TW as it has AoE galore.

[Sidious]

I detest Spines and already have a Rad Brute.

I'm OK with it going slow.

I personally think almost anything with /fire as a secondary and even just one primary area effect  attack

would make a viable farm build.  My SS/Fire does just fine, not even bothering to use rage.

I just started a War Mace/Fire with hopes that it will do fairly well in AE farms.

Well if you don't care about speed then you can do something like this.  If you just want to stay away from Rad or Spines and want just something /fire to farm with I would stay away from the weapon sets with the exception of TW or Staff as they all have terrible range on their AoE attacks.  If you are looking for just something unorthodox but still effective you could try Psi/Fire

Just curious if the AE range on weapon sets is any worse than super strength?

[HelenCarnate]

KO blow has a longer range than most melee attacks and footstomp has a larger radius than most melee AoE attacks.
