SS/FA is now the undisputed king of damage and farming, since they made the changes that removed the fear component from Burn and made Fiery Embrace much better.
TV farm is one of the best ones for purples, but for everything else, there are better AE farms (such as fire ambush farms).
The ambush farms are currently being nerfed, but the farming speed for lvl 50 SS/FA brutes in those farms is apparently being unaffected.

That's........incredibly lazy. And probably counts as an exploit.

Kioshi, by "AFK powerleveling" I mean I'm using a level 50 on a second account. I don't think it would be very efficient to do that on a lowbie farm with a single character (perhaps possible with judicious use of a buffing ally, but probably not efficient).
Back in the day (over a year ago) SS/FA and SS/Elec were (arguably?) the best farm builds at least villain side, with the apparent "extra nod" going to SS/Elec for extreme no budget limit builds. But I never made a SS/Elec...
How about now? I never rolled a SS/Elec but thinking about it now. Also in the meantime, to accumulate the best efficient wealth with my SS/Fire, should I respec him out of Mu and take Pyre? Also, is TV farm still one of the best ones? Finally, if anyone knows offhand, is most of Virtue server on hero side now? I hope my questions aren't irritating...
I don't need detailed builds or anything, just wondering about any significant changes I should know about regarding brutes and farming inf. Thanks!
