That's a great way to look at it! I appreciate the help\ 49 minutes ago, admiralnorman said: Just my two cents, but I hate spines. I find the sound of quills to be unbearable. LOL same here.

Jaro Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 On 9/4/2021 at 8:01 AM, parallelbars said: Thanks so much! in impale there's a Superior Winter's Bite set and in Taunt there's a Mocking Beratement set. But there's another Mocking Beratement set in Consume. Didn't know you'd need two of those. but thanks again for your response! Well, you don't "need" two of those, but with 5 Mocking Beratement you get 3.13% Fire Defense and with 6 you get on top 7.5% recharge. Taking 2 of those sets 1results in 6,26% Fire defense and 15% recharge. You can have 5 of the same benefits in your build, but they can come from different sets. So 5 * 7.5 Global recharge from the LotG or 5 * 3.13% fire defense from other sets. IF you have 6, the last one will not count. So many builds just take powers like Venegance as mules for the LotG or similar things 🙂 Playing the Loons together with my GF on Excelsior, mine are usually Cleo's or Jaro's.

It seems like so many of the posts are from back then when city of heroes came back, and I just don't know if people have continued to refine them or if it's been pretty static since then. Besides some of the nerfs they have implemented of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It remains relevant and one of the top performing farming builds. Other factors aside from the build when considering farming - objective such as passive farming aka "away from keyboard," or 1-50 in two hours active farming, or influence, badge, or incarnate salvage farming, etc. If you haven't had the chance to read through the past 15 pages on this thread or ventured to other areas of this forum, the jist of farming in this game is that it's very flexible. Identify your objective or purpose, then build a character around that. I have a radiation/fire Brute with two builds, one that I use for farming AE meteor maps (capped fire res & def) and the second to farm outside AE (capped fire/smashing/lethal res & def). I also use the character for incarnate trials and badge farming. At the end of the day, I play what I enjoy and I enjoy how I play. Your results may vary! Pocket D Zone Tour Best Post Ever....

Neiska Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 If you multibox, I have found it is actually faster to 3 box Masterminds than it is to play 3 Brute farmers. The reason being you can engage so many more targets at a time. I did a write up awhile back and have been performing tests for roughly half a year with Masterminds. Here is a link - I've been able to clear maps in 3 minutes. My fastest 3 Brute team was 4. The Brutes were easier to manage though. But for sheer speed, Masterminds win, at least for me.

Couple of things I found that helped. Was proc out irradiated Ground. I also proc out Atom Smasher and Blazing Aura, but those are not as important as Irradiated Ground.

parallelbars Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 My accuracy is crazy high right now on those powers, currently over 172% on atom smasher.

Ohhhh you're a genius! That's it. I'm running +4/8 so obviously the To-Hit Value should be 39% not the standard 75% that mids gives. I wonder if we should have our To-Hit set at 48% Since we are 50+1 because of incarnates? Or maybe the +4 is added after the level shift so it should still be 39%? I think the +4 is always on the standard 50 level though, so really it's more like +3 once you have the level shift. So we should be setting our mids To-Hit to 48% if that's the case?

parallelbars Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 But wouldn't the +1 level shift bring it down to "+3" technically? so we wouldn't have to measure based off of the +4 numbers but the +3 To-Hit numbers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's true, but like many things I have it 39% just so I don't have to change it for all the other toons I build. Because they need it when facing AVs and Incrante stuff. And although you will not need it in a farm, if you can build using 39 instead of 48 *shrug* why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parallelbars Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 (edited) Alright @SuperPlyx! I made some changes to get the accuracy as close to 100% As i could. I got most of them to 100 with Irradiated Ground at 98%. I calculated all of this with 48% To-Hit though because that's all I'll need for the AE and it was a stretch to even reach that. I was able to fully proc out Irradiated Ground, and put 3 procs in Blazing Aura and Atom Smasher. I did have to do some shenanigans with +5 enhancements but that isn't too bad. Check it out and let me know what you think! I did lose some recharge but it shouldn't be too bad.

SuperPlyx Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 @parallelbars Looks good to me. Obviously we got different ways of building but you hit the fire numbers and got the procs in. And raised your accuracy. Which is not easy. I think you will see an improvement with those changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at this point, with builds this good, I think gaining 15-30 seconds is awesome! So thanks again for the help. And anyone who is following along and building their own fire farmer I'd recommend looking into SuperPlyx's suggestions! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfarevival Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) @parallelbars My Savage/Fire farmer, Charcoal, can clear Road Tunnel easily in 6:35 (of course with multiple runs, it can be slower because of incarnate cool down [lores]). The secret? 1) 4 obliteration on Savage leap + 2 +5 range increases. That attack does MORE damage the further away you activate it from the target. Even without 600% damage bonus, or any other inspirations (see 4), I am pegging out at 323-326 damage (-res makes the difference, I believe) on Bosses after fury builds up . The range went from 70ft to 109.75ft. That adds a bonus in which I barely have to spend any time travelling. I just savage leap from mob to mob. 2) My attack chain utilizes rending flurry every time it is off CD. It is in my attack chain twice. It is bracketed by a single stack of frenzy at least, sometimes 2-3, just depending on how far away savage leap was activated from. 3) I use Spiritual alpha, . Why? The recharge bonus I get does slightly more damage just because it helps savage leap coincide with mob kills. If it is slower, then I either spend time doing damage to only a few baddies, underutilizing my AoE. But, since spirtual gives me such a significant recharge bonus, just about the time I need to, I can Savage leap to the next mob, kill a bunch of minions in 1 hit and the remaining baddies from the previous group follow, because of the insta-minion kill. 4). Guys. GUYS! ULTIMATE INSPIRATIONS. I pocket 2 every run. If you are a dedicated farmer, you should have the threads to buy these like candy. They make a difference and DO NOT reduce xp/inf. They make you kill faster. And with road tunnel, you can use 2 and complete each session (Road Tunnel has 4 sessions). So, for 8 runs it's 240 threads, which isn't a problem for me, because I don't run Road Tunnel 24/7. Anyhow, I started using the Savage/Fire build offered in the OP. I have spent months experimenting with incarnates and tweaking it to have the current build I do. If you are on INDOM, come to the G.O.A.T. SG's Farmin' Fridays at 8:30 CST and send tell to @Koal for an invite! I'd love to show you the fastest fire farmer I have ever seen. 😉 Edited October 29, 2021 by cfarevival Server: Everlasting Notable Toons: Nux Aukairo (Savage Melee/Dark Armor Brute), Boanerges Aukairo (Electric Melee/Shield Defense Brute) Lux Aukairo (Beam Rifle/Radiation Emission Corruptor), EVENT HORlZON (Fire/Gravity Dominator), CharcoaI (Savage Melee/Fiery Aura Brute), lsotope (Radiation Melee/Dark Armor Brute), CLERlC (Dual Pistols/Time Corruptor), RoidRage (Invulnerability/Super Strength Tank), BasiIisk (Psi/Dark Stalker), Meissner Effect (Electric/Energy Tanker), Burn Card (Dual Pistols/Fiery Aura Sentinel), Nux (Dark Melee/Dark Armor Scrapper), Mecha Nux (Radiation Armor/Energy Melee Tanker), AE0NAUT (Beam Rifle/Temporal Manipulation Blaster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
