This was probably too obvious and easy, but apparently not so much that nobody else on the server had thought of it. Mind/Psi dom, naturally. (The only other reasonable choice would be demons/pain MM.)

A Super Quick Guide To AE Farms First off, let me make it clear that once you get established, you don't need to do AE farming. But we all gotta get our start somewhere, or maybe you just want to try it, or you're sick of not having a 50, whatever, your motives are your business. So here's how this crap works. What You Need 1: A Brute. The secondary must be Fiery Aura. The primary, you got a few choices. 2: A little seed money. Go punch some Hellions, that'll get you the money you need. 3: An appropriate AE mission. That's it. How To Build The Brute Your primary should be one of the following: Claws because Spin is good, Radiation Melee because it has good AOE (or so I'm told; I gave up on it fast), Quills because of Spine Burst and a second damage aura, and I think Titan Weapons is good for this too (it has really good AOE but it takes a bit to get going). I think Super Strength used to be good but because of the way Rage works now, not so much? gently caress it, if you're not sure use Claws. Were you looking for an exact build? gently caress that, this is the super quick guide to get you started, if you want to invest major effort in this poo poo, I'm sure you can find someone better qualified. Spin and Burn will tear poo poo up especially backed with Fiery Embrace, you can cap out fire resist with SOs (or 25 IOs) in Fire Shield and Plasma Shield plus just having Temperature Protection at all, and Consume and Healing Flames can help keep you going longer. How To Do This poo poo First you need a mission. To get started, I suggest Fire On The Table or Fire On The Table EX Turbo, the difference between them being that the EX Turbo is floored at level 50 while the regular version is 1-54. Make sure your inspiration tray has four Lucks, with the rest Enrages (you can bring an Insight if you want). Set your team size multiplier to x8, go into the mission, eat all your inspirations, and then go smash the box. Then smash the car. (It's one very small room, you won't have trouble finding this poo poo.) You will be up to your rear end in a top hat in fire-shooting clowns. Start killing clowns with everything you've got and shovel inspirations into your face as fast as they drop. The reason I suggested this mission is because it's an ambush farm, and because it's an ambush farm the enemies will come to you, so you don't have to spend any time running up to clowns, you can use both hands to eat inspirations and use powers. Once the clowns thin out enough that they're just ankle deep, finish killing them off, hit the glowy to end the mission, and leave. Yes, this mission is relatively short, but that's why you're doing this one for now. Do keep in mind that because it's an ambush farm, if you die, the enemies will jump up your rear end when you walk back in. Have your toggles on and your inspirations ready. Repeat this until you're 22. Put the enhancements in Fire Shield and Plasma Shield. You are now capped to fire. You can keep using Fire On The Table, or go to the slightly bigger Fire On The Moon, which is a smallish map full of patrolling clowns. You want the clowns because they do 100% pure fire damage, against which you are resist capped. You still need the lucks, of course, but getting only three means "your life will tick down" instead of "death sentence." Or you can go with the classic Comic-Con one or the Real Big Dog one, which are more profitable per run, but the enemies aren't 100% pure fire so hey there you go. Now keep doing this until you have enough money or you want to shoot yourself. And that's it. IOs help you do this poo poo harder better faster, but you can do it with just SOs or equivalent.

At level 45, my fire brute still gets about a level a mission when soloing at +4/x8. Missions are maybe 10-20 minutes? Of very brain dead hitting the aoe buttons to do the aoe stuff. Spanish Matlock posted:I imagine you can use that x2 xp thing from the p2w vendor to level until you're ready to farm inf? Yes, although AE missions have a base reduction to XP on Homecoming. It's still crazy amounts of EXP though.

At least in low levels it is not good XP when compared to DFB. Even with the wait, I was leveling faster than solo grinding AE. GRANTED at low levels you can't do 8/4s.

Yeah, you want to do DFBs first to get your first few powers. Once you're in like IO range you can start handling the x8s and poo poo. If you want a build, here's one I threw together for my spine/fire brute. It's not the best, but it avoids those super expensive winter enhancements while still getting to 45% fire defense. edit: I will say that although I haven't gotten to level 50 no XP inf farm town, if all you want is money then nothing beats the effort to inf ratio of playing the market.

Is the alpha slot damage buff worthwhile for a beam rifle defender if I've already got all my buffs on perma, don't have consistent holds (but when a hold does land it lasts basically forever), have no problem hitting things, and already have as much endurance as I could ever hope to need? None of the other alpha slot buffs really seem to apply in my case. According to the incarnate guide in the old thread, Incarnate Threads can be used to make the alpha slot stuff that you normally use Incarnate Shards for, but I can't find where in the menus to do that? They only seem to convert to mats for the 2nd tier of slots.

None of the other alpha slot buffs really seem to apply in my case. What primary set are you running? Defenders suffer from the same logic as Brutes where Musculature isn't quite as potent (even worse than Brutes - 0.65 ranged versus a Brute's 0.75 melee modifiers.) Some of the radial paths on the alphas might have multiple benefits that could help out, but. If there's really really nothing else, Musculature is still an okay pick. It'll increase your Lore pets and Judgment damage, so there's always that! And all the alpha slot abilities can be crafted using shards or threads, you just have to scroll down on the creation menu to see the threads option. The only time I would use shards is for the alpha tier 4s, though. If you run a Weekly Strike Target you'll get a Notice of the Well. Put two of those together for a Favor of the Well, and you'll only need around 50 shards or so for the whole deal. Abroham Lincoln fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Jun 9, 2019 |

I'm time manipulation primary. I've already got perma Power Boosted Farsight so hitting things and not being hit back are already covered about as well as they can be before I set bonuses. I guess healing and hold alpha sets are also possibilities but nothing really jumps out and says definitely take this. I'll check later if I maybe just wasn't scrolling down far enough in the alpha mats menu.

Yeah, Time has a big variety on effects so one of the radial paths will probably wind up being better suited. You may want even more recharge to get permanent Chrono Boost and Hasten if you don't have that already, so Spiritual looks okay for that. Musculature and Intuition's radial paths both boost damage and a pretty big variety of Time's other debuff effects, so I think both of those are worth looking at as well.

Apparently I'm an idiot, can somebody break down for me how exactly I convert Incarnate Threads into alpha slot mats (i.e. Essence of the Incarnate)? I have gone through every tab and every heading and can only see how to convert shards into threads, but not the other way.

Go to Convert > Incarnate Thread and you should see the ability to convert various rarities of ingredients for Threads. The recipe you want for a given Incarnate ability is usually the second recipe under Create.

I was confused since those were different mats than was listed on the Create tab, but I actually had to scroll down on the Create tab to see the option to use those mats to make the ability. It wasn't letting me scroll down on that tab at first since I had to double click the slot, otherwise as soon as I stopped mousing over it the ability to scroll was lost. Thanks, I think I can actually get a thing slotted now!

How important is having "good" powersets for the endgame, have a few chars id like to take to 50 and do some endgame stuff but im always worried im shooting myself in the foot and cant find good info on game balance. I have an ice/thorns defender and am enjoying it but dont want to block myself from high end content by picking a set the community views as weak and would prefer not to take to group content.
