Elec/Rad Farmer is trash!

[perrond]

Well since the patch went live my Elec/Rad farmer kills so slow.  Is there another option to AFK farming?

"Crush AFK farming" I heard the devs were making t-shirts.

Yes. Lots, in fact.

Personally at the moment I'd go with a RadM/Stone Brute for maximum efficiency... but AFK Farming has never really been about generating bleeding edge inf/hour.

Hey, I'd buy one... 😛

Doesn't afk farming work by dealing out lots of small bits of damage to large numbers of mobs?  The change to damage on mobs over the normal cap greatly lowers the effectiveness of that approach.  It's just going to take a lot longer.  And that's not power specific, it affects all tankers.

 

And yeah, this shifts things back in the Brute's favor for some stuff.  I'd imagine that's one of them.
