my revenues from market pvp are far better than from farming; but hey any edge is an edge.

You'd have an edge in people not thinking you're full of it if you didn't post laughable claims and then prove yourself wrong with your own numbers.

Just did a quick run with herostats and ended up with 585k/minute (still going up) before the mission ended.

gj :-)

edit: oh, were you solo on the map?

Yea I was solo. The only way I can see you getting 736k/minute (solo) is if you were farming bosses at the aggro cap, or those henchman?

I wonder how much my pre-i15 Fire/Psi would've gotten on the same map.

Was the second person helping out too or just an alt? If you were fighting alone it would be 736k like I posted before.

460k / 1.25 =
368k * 2 =
736k

Yea so the run I did before was with my SS/Fire. Decided to run my Spines/Fire on the same map and clocked in about 905k/minute solo or 565k with 2 people.

In most cases the SS/Fire out damages the Spines/Fire. It's just Spines has more AoE's and I have Burn on the Scrapper, but not the Brute. It has the advantage in a specific mission, also the rage crash might be a factor.

That Spines/Fire actually manages to kill faster than my Elec/SD/Blaze scrapper. I only pulled in 718k/minute. But, my Elec/SD/Blaze is still missing 4 purple sets, which may up the DPS considerably.

I did a few runs to test some values:

2/8 no bosses: 701k/minute
4/8 bosses, 718k/minute

Haven't bothered to look into other difficulty levels. I might try 4/8 no bosses.

Earth/ elec assault for the dom slotted well i can solo @ +3 * man teams no bother
everyone else is right in so far as brutes do it better and quicker ..
my brute of choice is Elec melee/ sheild brute and i can solo him on * man teams +4 diff np's (only weakness is nemesis because of their vengance)
It is up to you but if it is kil kil kill you want EM-Sheild brute is a winner everytime ..if you slot it well .. if you use mids and want a slotting pattern for one let me know

What difficulty are you using? Have you tried, let's say, +3/8 with boss's? I run that often to help friends level up, and would love to see how well you survive against that kinda set!

I sent a PM to PG with my build and it's floating around in a couple of Spines/Fire threads in the Scrapper forums. Although like I told PG, I only get those numbers in a specific mission so don't expect to go into say a demon farm and get that.

And, yes before the boss farm nerf I soloed 52 bosses at the aggro cap. The settings I use are +2/x8, but I'm sure I can handle +3s. I mean I can do +4/x8 demon farm except they do fire damage and +4s are not worth it.

Just to kinda ask about the original topic if that's ok... I'd like a Domi for farming, I like brutes and Blue side i'm now using a blaster instead of my Firekin because she is faster but I miss the control side of it... nice to have a tightly packed group unable to flee.

So has anyone looked at the double PbAoe thing you get from Fire/Earth ??

Is it work taking a Fire/Earth/Soul Domi for, HotFeet and Mud pots and Sould Drain?
Or is there a better combo ? I was thinking about IO'ing for Damage bonus.

Fire/Earth would be decent I guess, but Fire/Psi and Fire/Fire would still be better choices in my opinion.

Pretty much agree with Fiery-E on this one. Earth/Fire would be ok. But honestly, Plant/Psi, Earth/Psi, and Fire/Psi are all better choices. Psychic Shockwave still packs a nasty AoE punch and Psychic Scream isn't a bad cone. Picking up Bile Spray from the PPP's helps as well.

Stoney Assault is a great ST damage set. But I'm not so sure about it's AoE potential. I've read mixed reviews on how well Hotfeet and Mudpots work together.

Madame Mindbender 50 Mind/Energy
Fly Agaric 50 Plant/Thorn
Nate Nitro 50 Fire/Psi

I was just thinking about the huge procage it could handle... as for attack chain/ Aoe's I was thining about this...

Fire Cages,
Cinders / Flashfire
Soul Drain
Tremor
Fissure
Dark Obliteration
Dark Consumption

Finish off bosses with Seismic Smash etc.

but im unsure about the dmg it can put out, I was going to slot Hotfeet and Mudpots like this....
