So from what I've read, SS/fire is the farmers choice, but what happened to elec/fire? Is that worse off for it?

Elec/Fire is aweseom, Lightning Rod is a one hit kill on a herd, if you're herding can LR one group, Burn next two, LR the one after etc etc

SS? Who on earth would take SS for farming when you can have Fire or Elec? Heck, even DB has more AoE.

(Near) Full Fury, PermaRage + Footstomp MaX.

It's meant to be the highest consistent PBAoE damage for Brute farming since Footstomp is up so regularly with +Recharge Bonuses and the FF Proc. Stacks with Damage aura from Fire/Elec/Dark too.

Its firmly established that SS/Fire has no equal in terms of farming effeciency, Rage and footstomp (especially with a force feedback +recharge in it) just wipes. (rage is equivilent to running with 3 small reds +)

Fire sword circle is nice but has a smaller radius (recharge too), lacks the knockdown mitigation of other AOEs which means you will be taking more damage.

Lightning rods base 45 second recharge makes it the worst DPS brute aoe move, thunderstrike is small damage on secondary targets and has a tiny radius and Chain Induction is currently a bad joke. Also note lightning Rods max damage is less than half of the potential of all other brute attacks due to it being a pet summon with a damage cap of 400% as opposed to the 850% damage cap of footstomp.
