dm/sd?
Well to say it as nice ST damage is just a little of a under statement I farm with mine some but I don't think it is the fastest. If you get good recharge in your build to run MG/Smite/SL/Smite you will have SC come up fast so it you can kill groups fast. How it compare to other farm builds I don't know because I don't farm a lot.
I don't like farming with my dark/sd. It is average at farming but there are much better farming combos out there.

i usually farm with a ss/sd brute. does the farm speed compare what so ever?
so its basically good for soloing AVs and thats it?
even with fireball?
Yes, even with fireball, since you can add fireball to any other, better, AoE Scrapper.

I've pretty much solo'd almost every AV in the game with my DM/SD it has fireball. Never had an issue.

It's a jack of all trades in my opinion.
It may not farm as well as an actual farm type build.
It may not provide the AoE dmg as an all out AoE build.
It may not solo AVs as well as something more specialized for that.
It may not be as durable as some builds.
But. It does ALL of those, and it does them very well.
Dump a little bit of $ into it and it shines even more.
Excellent for solo, excellent for teams. All around Win.
