No more Children of Madness which were pretty much all ranged Psi damage. Instead there's a new GR mob that kicked my butt.
They nerfed the YMCA farm? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!
Damn that was one of my better money makers.......This anti-farming sentiment is going to lose them more customers if they don't watch out....
Ping me at @Psion or Psion2.

They nerfed nothing. What they did was completely restructure the praetorian arcs. That you can no longer use some for farming is a mere side effect.

Did they changed the mobs for an existing mission you haven't finished? I still have an untimed wolf mission from way back in the day, and a friend in game still has a mission with the old Anti-Matter. I'm assuming that if you have an existing mission, the mobs haven't changed...could be wrong though.

I'm going to log in and check today.

Yup..They changed the mobs even in the old mission. Its now Warworks units, and they hurt. A lot of Psi still, but also a ton of Toxic/Fire/Energy damage mixed in with a pinch of lethal as well.
Definitely not a good focus farm anymore I'd say... : (

Just let it go, guys...you have too much time on your hands if you keep posting instigating things. Call it for what it truly is.
Whether it was intended or not, that was a favorite farm map by many. If it was previously farmable, but it is not anymore, wtf is that? A buff? When it comes to the farming aspect, its a nerf- tie a ribbon on the situation if you'd like, but for farmers who loved that map, it was taken away.
I'm over it, so you guys should get over it trying to make yourselves look cute, Chaos Buddies R' Us.

In video gaming a nerf is a deliberate change to a game that reduces the desirability or effectiveness of a particular game element. The term is also used as a verb for the act of making such a change.The opposite of nerf is buff (in one of that term's two usages).
The thought process was not let's nerf farming it was, Let's retcon the story and make it fit the new praetorian vision.
Without causing offence (I hope): I have never heard of anyone farming that particular map, but how is farming mostly ranged mobs good?
Also the new Praetorian maps are sooooo packed full of mobs that every room is practically a mini farmable mission, and the clockwork seem to herd like they think it is i1! (Though they do hurt).

Spines/Darks used to farm it because it was pure Psi damage, something that Dark has extremely high resists to. |

I stripped my Spines/Dark a while ago, and used all the Inf to pimp out my SS/Fire, since the Behemoth mish is waaaaaay easier then the MM mish.
Not sure what to do with my Spines/Dark now.

I get the not dying part, it is just the killing of loads of mobs that prefer not to come close that I find counter productive to farming. But then I don't actually farm so I am hardly an expert |

Its not that they stayed at range- they were all grouped up rather nicely in groups of 8-10 minions & LT's, and if you used tenebrous tentacles, they stayed that way for the most part, and were very weak to lethal damage. It was quite amazing.
I had capped Psi Resists AND capped Psi Defense, as wll as decent smashing resist for their TK Blast- so I was virtually an invincible tank in there, except one doing scrapper damage. We called it the YMCA farm because there were policeman, office workers, and general street pedestrians all in each mob, making for a diverse group mix (hence the YMCA play on things).
It was very effective and easy to farm if you built your SPines/DA just for that..thing was- if you built them for that map, you couldn't really do other missions that regular /Darks could shine in due to you gimping your energy, end drain resists, etc.

sad about the Mother Mayhem farm map changing? I loved that map. =(
