Question about redside farming

It's a simple question that's to do more with game mechanics than the actual farming, but anyways. I have this weird redside Farmer idea in mind, but in order for it to work I'll need specific mobs to work with. I dunno if it's been done before, but I've never heard of a Corruptor farmer myself. Anyways...my questions are this:

1 - The nemesis. Does their flamethrower attack has any other component aside from AoE/Fire?

2- Freaks. Do their Electricity attacks have any other component aside from Ranged/Energy?

I'm pretty sure the answer to the above two questions is no, but it never hurts to ask.

3- Are there any maps suitable for farming that contain mobs aside from the above? I'm talking mainly about mobs like Family, Praetorian warriors (like the ones in BM farm)..or anything that uses attacks with S/L components all the time?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not going to answer your question because I don't honestly know. I just wanted to mention something that you might not have been aware of.

You don't want to farm Family.A few issues ago, it wa decided that they were too easy, and all Family critters in the 45-54 range had their rewards reduced.

Likewise, Freaks very recently had their bonus XP removed, and a small XP penalty put on some (all?) ranks, because they tend to be FAR easier than intended, resulting in them being over-farmed.

I've heard that one of the Praetorian groups had extra attacks added to make them more difficult, though I'm not sure which it was.

there used to be something about poison trap I think where procs would go off an insane number of times

Veron von grun has several amps with almost exclusively DE 'Rocks'

As long as you can zap the enimators, they go fairly fast.

On the last question, check out the Cimerora wall. I farm that on my Ar/Kin corruptor. I don't know how archery plays, but at a glance in mids it looks doable.

Given that a single generic recipe drop is... what, 150K influence? The direct inf is not that big a deal. And a single purple is 20 million to to 200 million...

Hehe.
I'm not grinding because I enjoy farming, nor because I'm grinding for "purples". I'm going to dump lots of (bought) inf in this toon so it can fund the rest of my villains for the rest of my CoV career. And hopefully get good drops for their sets. Of all my completed builds and the ones I have planned only two ever use Purples in them..my Earth/Rad controller, because I want him to have Perma Hasten (which translates to Perma AM, Perma Earth Embrace, Perma Lingering Radiation, and super quick Holds and Heals). And my Arch/MM because I want him to be my blueside farmer and after capping his S/L defence I want as much recharge as possible. I don't use purples unless it's the only thing that gets me the recharge% I need. For me, they're most often not worth the price to get them. Only in a few cases like the mentioned above. But then again, that's just me.

And Another_Fan, while I appreciate your advice, if I go in the middle of a mob of say..Nemesis and/or Freaks their Flamethrowers/Energy Attacks will have me dead before my RoA kills them even if I have capped S/L defence. That's why I was asking about mobs that use S/L exclusively =/



EDIT: Err, that's me, Wanted_NA. Finally got a second CoH account which I can use on the boards with my proper handle. My Original account was gotten from a friend who quit the game and the board handle on the account is his.
