The devs don't really approve of farming, note that most non-AE missions that became popular with farming have been given timers or made harder, and AE missions speak for themselves.

That said, there's probably a certain enemy group or two that you may be effective against regardless of mission.

You should srs give up and roll a brute,Empress. All the farms that always worked still work. If you are having trouble doing those than apparantly a dominator is not for you... even with the buffs!!!!

Ignore Southern Comfort, he has no idea what he's talking about. It is still quite possible to farm with a Dominator; especially with a Fire/Psi. I'm not sure that a Dom is as good as a Brute for farming in general though, but that was still the case before the changes.

The Liberate TV mission still works, it just doesn't provide quite as much XP as it once did since Family XP was reduced. The Black Scorpion Nemesis platform mission still works as well, but that's not a good farming choice for any sort of Dominator. Eventually the Nem vengeance just stacks too much and your controls stop hitting.

I would recommend you wait until I16 - with the new mission difficulty settings, pretty much any mission can be a farm.

Min.. Brutes can farm alot faster than doms now.

I call things like I see em and don't play through rose colored glasses.

Brutes could farm a lot faster than Doms before the buffs and a lot more safely. The situation hasn't really changed.

No. Brutes in some cases did not farm faster or more safely than a dominator prior to the revamp. Now.... in the current incantation of the game... a brute will farm faster and more efficiently than a dominator. That's the truth. There is no disputing the fact.

Before the Dom changes:

Brutes >> Doms.

After the Dom changes:

Brutes >>>>> Doms.

I mean, if you've already got the Dom leveled and IOd and everything, sure, go for it, but if not, just save the hassle and the inf and roll a Brute.

If we're talking non-AE missions, I fail to see how brutes were still better than doms at farming before the dom changes. From my experience doms blazed through the liberate TV mission faster than any brute I've seen.

Then again, it doesn't really matter much since that's all in the past anyway. :P

Yeah. In my experience, while my brute could take bosses down easier and thereby solo 7 and 8man Liberate maps, the firepsi could do it with less hassle set for 6. No huge boss exp, but much faster and efficient spawn by spawn courtesy of DP and PSW being friggin' huge.

If you're running Liberate on a Brute and not doing it spawned for 8, you're doing it wrong. Even if you're only running for 6, after a few mobs the Brute will be at a high Fury level and he'll be riding that most of the rest of the map.

I have both a purpled out Fire/Psi and SS/Fire. Before the changes my Fire/Psi >> SS/Fire, but now it's the other way around.

I didn't really run the numbers on my Fire/Psi now, but before the changes I ran Liberate in around 22 minutes and the Nemesis platform in 5-6 minutes. Can't really compare Liberate times with my Brute since I run 8 man, but it took roughly 8 minutes to clear the Nemesis platform with my Brute.

Sure, you can still farm with a Dom, but not as efficient as a Brute.
