Can u Post your build here please?

I don’t have mids because I use a Mac (instead I have a pretty elaborate Excel spreadsheet where I crunch all these numbers manually and it’s a pretty sad sight), but I’ll screenshot my build for ya later!

I find that my brute does 5 minute runs without inspirations just fine unless I’m afk’ing. 3-4 minutes with inspirations.

*sniff sniff* Is that Gasoline I smell?

Nope, smells more like Bullsh*t.

I read your post and wondered, because admittedly these claims are estimates. Timed a run just now - 125/Bloody Rainbow map. The result was 5:32 with zero inspirations used, from the second I loaded in to the second the last baddie was dead. 

 

So yeah I see your point and concede 32 seconds. Would be well under 5 with inspirations used of course; that much I know from all the times I've dropped lore at the very beginning and had my little indestructible pet hanging around after everything was cleared.

were you running at +4/8 with bosses on? And are you clearing the map or 'mostly' clearing it?

5:32 I won't contest, since I could see it if you are lucky with your helper and don't bother with the wanderers

4 minutes using inspirations, yes, again if you don't bother killing every single wanderer. Which I can concede because you might be able to get better inf gains that way

3 minutes? Rad/fire is the best, but I I haven't seen below a 3:30 average time except when someone is pulling one over by leaving a quarter of the map untouched or secretly turning off bosses/down difficulty. Or maybe using expensive P2W and super pack buffs. I can do 2:50, but to do It I have to blow almost 10 mil on temps, which kinda completely negates the point of farming in the first place.

I do have a build that is designed specifically to NOT use inspirations (musculature, stacking buff assault instead of double hit, higher pure damage buffs) but I can barely pull 5 and a half on 'best runs', then again, I don't count the map cleared until every single thing on it is DEAD.
Please excuse my skepticism.

+4x8, Every single thing was dead, yes. And idk about 3 minutes for sure either. Just around there. I don't do a lot of timing, but I do see my pet hang out for a minute after I've cleared it when I'm popping reds.

My Rad/Fire Brute can get very close to  5 minute runs without inspirations.  Where my Lore pet despawns right around when I click the glowie to complete the mission.  I might have 1 or 2 minions straggling I don't track down, but I always kill enough the Glowie shows up on the mini map.  

 

Now what's much more likely is that as my Lore pet vanishes I have to jump over to the last group that isn't moving and clear them so my times are closer to 5:30 on average.  And then there are the times that 2 groups are left at the end that are not remotely close together so 6+......

 

I'm typically PL'ing an alt into the 20s or 30s so many many bosses to clear.  If I just want some inf I'll run it solo without bosses and sub 5 minutes is the norm.  Wouldn't say I can get to 4 minutes solo. 

 

[Frostweaver]

Using a lore pet is not an 'average' run... I usually take 2 or 3 runs while I am waiting for the darned power to recharge.

[Jaxman100]

Fair enough.  😃

 

Thing recharges in 10 minutes, so it's available on the odd number missions when I run the whole arc.  And every mission if bring my tanker along. Those dual box runs are about 4 minutes each with all the agro control.

 

I'll be satisfied with the 5:30 solo times minus the pet.
