What is the best MM for farming missions?

I'd go with Thugs/Dark.

Thugs already have high damage, combined with all the lovely enforcer buffs make them very sturdy.

Then Dark provides Tar Patch, extra mitigation in Darkest Night and the yummy fear and AoE Heal.

Oh and Fluffy.


Whining about everything since 2006.

Ammo switching for Dual Pistols was my idea:

My demon/dark is loooovely even at 38. I do a warrior replica is the AE with no problems at all.

Depends. Bots/FF can take anything out, with a little time, and thus is probably the best bet so you can farm anything.

Bots/Traps, Thugs/Storm, Thugs/FF, Bots/TA, you can make anything work.

While I think you can go with anything, I think one of the "auto" secondaries would be better. Just because you'd have to do less.

/Pain Dom you could buff, rock an aura, and drive through most mishes with little else. Maybe Anguishing Cry and Pain Bringer occasionally when needed. Force Fields plays much the same way, but it's a little more intensive to buff each pet. /Thermal may play similarly.

Just speculating here but those seem like they'd be the better farmers to me. If you want to actually play, then anything will do.

I haven't levelled it so far yet, but I am LOVING bots/traps. A bit weak on heals, but I just added Aid Other, and that seems to be doing a fair bit of good. Still have to be careful with alphas, but this will get a ton better when I have an assault bot...

I'm doing exactly this. If you can stand it, you can take the alpha's yourself in bodyguard mode which spreads the damage around to you and your bots, then once the alpha's are done, focus your bots on whatever target.

alphas become lolphas when you get seekers

summon your seekers right on the spawn, plop down mortar, plop down poison gas trap right at the spawn, watch your robotic henchmen go on a murderous rampage, sit back with your latte.

Next spawn is writin their wills and texting their families goodbye.

The alphas become very easy to take when you can throw out Seeker Drones in the mob to get their attention first, and then send your bots in second.

Well I haven't really farmed with her but I have a 48 level DS/DM/Soul that I Duo with (my partner is exactly the same AT/powersets) and we have yet to find anything that can stand up to 14 minions and all that debuff/hold/immob. Your minions add in more holds, defense buffs and heals so it basically a set that can deal with just about anything. Really the only challenge we encounter is Malta with all their Stuns etc and I carry 5 Tier 3 Breakfrees to eliminate that problem as well.

Now put together a farm team with a good Brute for damage and aggro control, an SoA or two to increase everyone's defense and whatever else you like and you should chew through any mission with ease. :-D

I'm currently taking a Mercs/Traps through Praetoria, and it's pretty fun, too. It'll get better when I can plug about 4-5 Achilles' Heel Res Debuffs into the build, too (Burst, Soldiers, Spec Ops, Acid Mortar, and Commando)

I'd rather go with Thugs/Thermal because you can slot couple of Achille procs there and Forge the Enforcers, Brute and Arsonist. Pretty easy to guess what happens next :P.
