well i have a lvl 50 fire/psi perma dom with perm hasten, cost me 4.5 bill and i can solo pyrobooms day off in an 8 man map on Lts without without a problem. i usually run 2 groups round the map, i start at 1 side and the other 7 do the other side. fire/psi imo has not lost the edge i still farm with mine and do really well plus i dont use stamina.

Though I am looking at the new Earth set that is mentioned coming in ish 16 as a possible new farm set..
Yes, it can still farm but not close to as good as it used to. I switched to my SS/Fire for my main farmer while pre-i15 it was the other way around.

So presuming for the sake of arguement that fire/psi is totally gimp now..........what other combos of current dom power sets are shining as a farmer?
Fire/Fire perhaps?

None.
Roll a brute,Op.

I really hope that's not the case, as I really love to farm with dominators. It's just a lot more fun to do for me. I do have a SS/SD brute as a beastly farmer, but I definitely preferred my dom. |

Perhaps I just need to tweak my build a bit as I pretty much relied on PSW and drain psyche only from the /Psi set. Any other powers worth using now?

I was thinking the same thing. With 2 PBAoE dmg toggles and 2 AoEs in earth (fault Target AoE and tremor PBAoE) when it combines with fire/ it will be a forced to be reconed with. Not to mention fault can help with soft control to keep groups not attacking you. If anyone has modified mid's yet to add earth assault, I would love to see a build posted with fire/earth. As far as I can tell, needing stamina is its only drawback from /psi.

I think it will be a pretty safe bet that Earthy Assault will be a very endurance heavy set. It seems to be a common theme with most Earth power sets. That will limit its farming ability greatly, IMO. Besides that, I agree it might be better than Psi damage wise.

Psychic Scream now does more damage than Psychic Shockwave. It's a cone though, so it won't be as easy as jumping in the middle and fire. It's still awesome though.

Even with the buff to Psi Scream, the nerf to PSW means that you'll be slower than you were before I15, even if you make PS part of your attack chain (again, you'll need to get good at quick positioning to make best use of it). I've been using my SS/WP and SS/Fire Brutes to farm lately since my Fire/Psi is quite a bit less powerful than she used to be.

Yeah, the radius decrease is what totally killed PSW for me. Now I basically have to split a 6 man spawn into two "groups" because it can't hit everything at once anymore. So much for him becoming my purple farmer in i16.
Yup, pre-i15 I had two farm characters, my firepsi and my ss/fire brute. The brute was always more fun to farm with, but the firepsi was much more efficient. This is regrettably no longer the case, so stompstompstompstomp. But yeah, firepsi does still work, its just no longer far and away the best choice for farming.
