Very Best Farmer?

Seems like everyone saying 6 minutes is very slow, if that's the case 3 minutes for a *fast* farmer should be easy. Why not make some influ?

To be honest, I have farmed with iMidget before and his elec/fire wasn't exactly a slouch. My (ss/fa/mu)'s name is Inflamaty on freedom.

However, I think all sides here are a bit off. I probably could not clear crey fire cyborgs in 3 minutes, 4-5 minutes seems closer to reality and at that rate I am above 100 mil per hour and well above 10000 tix/hour as well. And imidgit's claim of a fire/fire scapper being the farming king is just wrong. The only scrapper that comes close to ss/fa/mu is a elec/SD with an extremely expensive recharge intensive build. The autotaunt is a HUGE factor, I have already given up on my spines/fa scrapper because of it, the elec/SD scrapper would fair better since they work differently(ie instantly kill thus not given them time to run) Although they still have to find a way to actually live in a ambush style farm, which for a SD scrapper is not exactly easy, a problem made worse by the extreme need for recharge placing a significant strain on the IO build as far as any defense goes, its pretty much totally dependent on inspirations for survival. The lack of a heal also gives this build problems. Finally the 90% vs 75% resistance cap gives brutes a nearly insurmountable lead in ambush style farms, it is a different from being able to go afk for a minute and come back with 80% health remain(my brute) to constantly being on the edge of death(my 50 spines/fa)

I will run it tonight(crey fire cyborg completion time w and w/o bosses) with my solid ss/fa/mu brute and provide real numbers so we don't have to go around guess.

I would like to STRONGLY suggest that you guys that are throwing these mainly unquantified statements around to get hero stats. Without even doing on math on the data it gives you it calculates inf/min and tickets/min which are surely linearly related to farming ability.

Its easy to setup, and gives very detail information. It would make discussions like this tend to provide information, rather than degenerate into the murky anti-reality that always accompanies large amounts unquantified statements.

Edit, after making a couple runs, both solo and duo(basically w or w/o bosses) lvl 54/8 crey fire cyborg

My hero stats numbers :

Duo, average over two runs(rounded down):
13k tix/hour
86 mil inf/hour
ave run time 5 minutes and 28 seconds

Solo(no bosses), over two runs
18k tix/hour
132 mil inf/hour
ave run time 4 minutes and 2 seconds

Nihilii why don't you show us your numbers since you seem to be an expert or do the challange you said you could do with ease? i'll even make it 4 minutes still 4 billion influ bet.

#482818: +4/x8/0 (averaged over two runs)
Time: 253s (4:13)
Inf: 935k/min
Tix: 263/min

HeroStats shows 270 villains defeated -- 175 minions, 44 Lts, 48 bosses, downgraded to Lts. Looks like seeds of confusion (while keeping me alive) ate up to 1/3 of the total influence gain. Lobster earned ~6M inf on this map, I only earned ~4M. Without SoC, however, I couldn't drop them fast enough or pop enough skittles to stay alive.

#423253: +4/x8/0
Did not complete this one at +4/x8. With a more open room, it took too much effort to keep the bad guys in front of me (to hit with the cone confuse) and to allow Carrion Creepers, Freezing Rain, and Lightning Storm to do their best.

#460877: +4/x8/0
Same map as the previous one, same issues with getting surrounded. Managed to draw the ambush spawns around a corner, which allowed me to keep them clustered for dispatch. Still, too much effort and somewhat too hard for my controller to farm this one at +4/x8.

This my first time using hero stat, but I think 2.71million per minute is pretty good. Comes out to be around 162million influ per hour. This is on fire cybor map 1 person set for 4x8 no bosses, mission was completed in 3:42.

So my Elec/fire/Soul brute is getting 2.7million influ/minute pretty easy on a non-fully speced Farming build. has SJ and not even 5 LoTG's in him and soul cause I prefer the solo range dmg attack, not taking /mu. So i've seen your SS/fire/Mu's saying your doing 2.6-3.0million influ per minute with no pics of anything for proof. I'll post a pic of my current elec/fire/soul brute hitting over 3million influ per minute *Up-to-date picture* in a few days when i'm in-game. So does this mean Elec/fire brutes are the best farmers in the game?

Regardless, Claws/Fire is better than Elec/SD for ambush farming. Next...

Also, while 2.7/min is good, you should really calculate that at the end of the run rather than only 1 minute in as it usually fluctuates a bit throughout. Looking at that screenshot made me laugh thinking about when you said attack radius didn't matter.

Edit: I just ran that Fire Cyborg map for the first time, mobs are way too spread out for my likes. Took me 3:26 on my SS/Fire/Soul. Herostats shows that one run yields about 8.2 mil, which comes out to about 2.38 mil/min for the entire run. So, assuming that 3:42 time is correct, the 2.7 mil/min isn't an accurate representation of the entire run, it's more like 2.21/min.
